[quote=ELLYSE,395577]1) Yes, you can take a train but there's only one daily (train 5652/5653, 1721--2005) which might or might not be suitable for you. In addition, I expect this to be heavily bought out by tour agencies and the like. It takes only 2h44min which's only a little bit faster than the bus.
2) Yes, it's possible to do. Guesthouses in Qiaotou, as well as along the trek, and Margo's Gorged Tiger Cafe at Qiaotou will have up-to-date information, so just keep checking with them as you go along. There're guesthouses roughly every couple of hours or so along the route, don't worry. I did it a few years ago during that season, walked along the main tarred road from Sean's Guesthouse to Tina's, then went on the high trail all the way to Qiaotou.
3) You could probably both go on the tarred road for a certain distance, then he goes off to do the rest of the trek and you try to hail a ride from a passing vehicle, and arrange to both meet at a certain guesthouse further down the trail.[/quote]
