 | No more Shanghai -- Huangshan trains leaving in the night. The "overnight" train now leaves at 5+ pm and takes 15 hours. Not recommendable for your situation. |

| 2 full days are generally enough for an average trip to Huangshan. Train and bus for which route? Shanghai -- Huangshan? The train takes about 15 hours, bus takes about 6 hours to Huangshan city (aka Tunxi). "Cheap" is relative. What do you have in mind?

| GUESTAHMEI | Hi, I am looking at visitng Huangshan via two routes: Hangzhou / Huangshan / Shanghai Shanghai / Huangshan / Shanghai Departing on Friday and returning to Shanghai on Sunday. Please let me know the most economical and best modes of transportation (and yet not compromising on the sighseeing time). Also, looking at my timeline, do I stay at the summit of Huangshan or at Tunxi? Thanks! |

| What time can you leave Hangzhou or Shanghai on Friday, and what time do you need to arrive back in Shanghai on Sunday? I would suggest staying at least 1 night (most probably Saturday night) on Huangshan, although it's expensive. It would be more convenient if you reply me directly on email -- yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" in the subject line, thanks. |

| GUESTCLARA | I will be travelling to Huangshan on 13/8/09. Can anyone advise me how best I should travel to shanghai from huangshan on 14/8/09? on 13/8/09, where should I stay so that I can view the sunrise in the morning? I will be travelling with 2 elderly persons. |

| If you're travelling with elderly people who might have problems walking or climbing stairs for a long time, then it might be best to go up via Taiping cable car and stay at Paiyunlou Hotel. The sunrise viewing point closest to the hotel should be Purple Cloud Peak. "Best" is subjective. Currently the "best" option is perhaps bus, about 6 hours from Shanghai. If you've any more queries, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username in the subject line, thanks. |

| Hello, I'm new here. We'll get to Huangshan from Shanghai at the end of August. For the route I've considered taking the Taiping cable car in the late afternoon and stay on top overnight and hike the west path down. Good idea? Now if we go to Taiping from Shanghai by bus (and taxi probably), we still pass through Tunxi or is there a straighter route somewhere north? What about the waiting queues at the Taiping cable car station? I think the last ride up is at 4:30pm? And what hotels would you suggest up there? Let's say in the lower midrange price area? |

| Sounds ok to me, though personally I think it's a pity to miss the West Sea Canyon. I presume your mention of "west path" would mean the Western Steps. Yes, you'll still need to go via Tunxi. Are you going on a weekday or weekend? If you're going on a weekday I think there would be close to no one taking the Taiping cable car. All the hotels up there are all about the same price, honestly. I usually book either Paiyunlou Hotel or Baiyun Hotel.

| GUEST44232 | After a nice weekend in the mountains - what is the best way back to Shanghai??? 1) Is there a direct bus running from Tangkou to Shanghai? What time does the bus depart (hopefully in the afternoon) Where to pre-book such a direct bus ... 2) Do I need to go to Tonxi first and then hop on an airplane Looking forward for your advice chris |
