guest11584	I will go to Shanghai on January, 2008. I want to go to Hangzhou and Huangshan. I've heard a lot about Yellow Mountains, but is it worth to go there in january? Another problem - I have very little time. Is it possible to come to Huangshan in the evening from Hangzhou, sleep, go to the mountain early in the morning and get down the same evening? is it possible to get tour to the mountains for one day ? One more question: what would be the best way to go to Beijing from Hangzhou? Thanks in advance

Possible to do what you're envisioning, but it'll be very rushed. And you'll miss sunset and sunrise on the mountain. Best way for Hangzhou -- Beijing would be by the overnight Z train.

GUEST04233	Thanks for reply. Somebody knows when there is sunrise and sunset in Yellow Mountains in January? How much time I have to calculate if I would like to go to Yellow Mountains from Huangshan for the sunrise? Is it possible to take a guide arriving at Huangshan for the transfer from buis station, to the hotel, to the mountains and back?

Huang = Yellow
Shan = Mountain(s)
So your question doesn't really make sense unless you mean you're going from Huangshan city (aka Tunxi) to the mountains for the sunrise.
I presume you mean the summit area for sunrise? That really doesn't make sense unless you're staying in the summit area. Huangshan city (aka Tunxi) is about 1.5 hours drive from the foot of the mountain, and then you still have to climb to the top since there're no cable cars running at that hour. Were you perhaps planning to start at midnight?

Thanks Ellyse,

Now I've got the point :) So I come to Huangshan city from Hangzhou in the evening. Stay there per night.
Next morning go to the Mountains. Stay there per night, see sunrise at the summit and go down. Is this plan more realystic?

Can you tell how I can reach Mountains from Huangshan city? (what are the directions) How much time I need for it?
Can you reccomend some budget hotel on the top of the Mauntain?

Maybe somebody knows how often and till what o'clock there are buses from Hangzhou to Huangshan and back?

Thanks to all in advance
