| guest93238 | Hi, I am planning to travel to Huangshan for the festival and to hike during the festival. Is that a good idea? I have never seen a Chinese festival and I want to know if it is worth it. BTW, can I get to Guilin from Huangshan? Any recommended cities or places that I can go while I am traveling from Shanghai to Huanshan by train? Thanks. |

 | Which festival do you mean?? And yes you can get to Guilin from Huangshan. There's a direct train, K155, from Huangshan to Guilin Bei(North Station of Guilin). |

| Hi Phoenixboy33, Do you know if there's any space available on the train if I travel from Shanghai to Huangshan during the festival time? I do not want to sleep on the floor. heheh.. Do you think I will be able to get accommodation at the summit or at Tunxi during the festival? Is it worth it being in the crowd? Thanks in advance. |

| Shoogar, there will be a lot of people on the train because of national day holiday. Why not try to go to Huangshan by plane? You can take MU5561 at Hongqiao Airport or FM9265 at Pudong Airport in Shanghai. If you decide to go to Huangshan, you can reserve the hotel in advance. |

| GUESTDAVED | If you go to Huangshan on a holiday be prepared to share it with literally millions of others. Waiting at the bottom for the cable car can be a three hour wait in quiet times. I cannot begin to imagine how long it will be on a festival. Also the top of the mountain will be full, and I mean full of tour guides with their loudspeakers. One behind, one in front an one at each side. If I were you I would go up the mountain in a quiet period. You may get a chance to appreciate the true beauty of the place. |

| November is considered to be slow season for traveling but not for Huangshan. I don't think I will be flying to Huangshan since I am on a budget. I don't plan to take the cable to the summit either. I was planning to hike. Hopefully there will be no pushing or anything when I hike and do I hope I can take pictures without being interrupted. At this point, I worry about accommodation and be able to get a seat on the train. Thanks everyone for replying. |

| hello shoogar,sorry for the late answer.for reduce your expending,I think by train is just right.there two times one day by train to huangshan from shanghai railway station. the first one: N418/419 start from shanghai:22:35 arrival huangshan:10:00 the next morning. all:11h 35m. price: hard place:94 yuan RMB,sleeping berth:169 yuan RMB. the second one:2182/2183 start from shanghai: 12:40 arrival huangshang:00:47 the next morning all:11h 47m. price: hard place:46yuan RMB ,sleeping berth:99 yuan RMB. Nov isn't a crowd month in china,but if you want to have a seat or a berth for sleeping,you must buy ticket in shanghai railway station four or five days before. also the accommodation in the summit need to book about one month ago,so you need to prepare month ago,and also I don't know whether you can book it your country,because in china,lots of hotels provide less online order.I can help you solve all the questions before you come huangshan include ticket from shanghai to huangshan,but I don't know if you need a guide.also I can help you too if you needn't a guide,but I don't know how to give you the ticket and arrange your route.huangshang is so largean has many ways,so hiking is danger without detailed plan,maybe get lost,so choose a right way is necessary. chinese tourists won't be free during the festival ,so you needn't worry about too much people.need more help or have some questions,contact me with MSN:hotmail.com|phoenixboy33 call me chen. |
