[quote=ELLYSE,369059]Are you flying to Huangshan? 1) No, I don't think so. You'll not be in time to catch that flight out from Hangzhou, unless you're extremely good hikers. 2) For a 2150 flight, you'll need to be at Hangzhou airport at 1950 (or latest by 2050) to check-in and go through security. It takes about 1 hour from downtown Hangzhou to Hangzhou airport. Assuming you could splurge on a taxi, you'll need to arrive in Hangzhou no later than 1900. I would allow 3 hours for the bus Tunxi -- Hangzhou, so you'll need to leave Tunxi by 1600. Since it takes about 1-1.5 hours to get from Tangkou to Tunxi, then you'd need to be at Tangkou hopefully by 1430. Allow another 15-30 mins for the bus from the bottom of Western Steps to Tangkou, you'll need to be at the bottom of Western Steps by 1400. I would usually allow about 6-7 hours on foot from Paiyunlou Hotel to the bottom of Western Steps... you do the math. And, these timings are assuming that everything goes like clockwork and don't get lost along the way! 3) Paiyunlou Hotel would be fine. Yes, I would be able to help you arrange accommodation in the peak area. However I would need to wire the entire sum of money in order to guarantee the reservation, so I'd need you to send me the money via PayPal, Western Union or bank transfer (I have a bank account with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China), which one would work best for you? 4) Then just come down via cable car, whichever one you prefer. 5) If you come down via Taiping cable car (why would you?) then you'll have the problem of finding transport from the bottom of the cable car to Taiping town. From Taiping town you could then catch a bus (1.5 hours journey time) to Tunxi, where you could find buses back to Hangzhou. I think there's also a direct bus for Taiping -- Hangzhou, but it departs very early in the morning so it would be of no use to you.[/quote]
