[quote=KNKNKN,255803]Hi Ellyse, I read a lot of your posts in various forums and found them very very helpful. If we do the suggested route by you in one of the other forums, "I would suggest that you go up by the Taiping cable car, do the West Sea Canyon in the direction of Paiyunting --> Baiyun Hotel, stay overnight at Baiyun Hotel, then come down on foot via the western steps. Up to you to see as much/little as you can/want of the eastern steps before leaving the summit area totally" 1. how much walking in total is required and how streneous will it be (concerned about our fitness level, reasonaby fit, but find walking up steps for several hrs very scary ) - might consider training before coming to Huangshan. 2. if we stay in Tunxi for the first night after coming from Shanghai, and bus in the following morning from Tunxi to Taiping, (approx total of 2 hrs), will we have to wait somewhere around 2 to 3 hrs for the cable car? Will it be better to stay closer to the Mountain for one night so as to beat the rush? 3. I also would like to see Hangzhou. Will the following itinerary be efficient: Shanghai- bus to Hangzhou -stay 1 or 2 nights in Hangzhou (depending on what time we get to Hangzhou), bus from Hangzhou to Tunxi - we don't want to be too rushed - so plan to stay 2 or 3 nights in Tunxi and 1 night on summit. I am hoping to be sure of good weather before going up Huangshan in one of those few days and have hostel in Tunxi book hotel on summit for us. How much time in advance do we need for hotel booking on summit ( I rather stay an extra night in Tunxi for good weather on summit as it is much cheaper in Tunxi ) --overnight train to Beijing . Thanks very much! [/quote]
