Huangshan City is a region with a long history and splendid cultures. Shexian and Yixian Counties were established more than 2,000 years ago. In the Jin Dynasty (265-420) Huangshan City was called Xin'an Shire. Until the Song Dynasty (960-1279) when the name was changed to Huizhou, the city was famed for Hui businessmen, Hui carvings, Xin'an school of painting, Xin'an medicine, Hui architecture, Hui cuisine, and Hui opera (one of the tonalities of Beijing Opera). Also notable are the scenic spots of Yellow Mountain (Mt. Huangshan) - a key point of interest in ancient China, the Tangyue Memorial Archway, the Tunxi Ancient Street and the ancient villages of Yixian County . Historians at home and abroad regard Huangshan City as a natural history and culture museum of China.
Since Huangshan City is a tourist city with a pleasant climate, travel plans need not be interrupted by weather. So the sights of Huangshan City, such as Tunxi Ancient Street, Xidi, and Hongcun Ancient Villages, Tangyue Archways, Flower Mountain and Enigma Caves can be visited throughout the year as can Yellow Mountain with each season offering different appealing features.
Huangshan City transportation is efficient. Upgraded airline, railway, highway and the city transportation expedite tour travel. Also available are various grades of hotels, restaurants, and recreation and shopping centers in Huangshan City. Be sure to try Hui dishes, snacks and local products and especially the memorable Mt. Huangshan tea.

Mr.Jamie replied:
It is the coldest month and the average temperature is only around 5C. On the mountian peaks, it is much below 0 degree. Not advisable to go at that time with the elder people. It snowed there a few days ago and snow make it harder to climb the mountain.

I am going for the Three Gorges cruise after Huangshan. What is the transportation to Yichang, Hubei?
thanks.

Mr.Jamie replied:
As I know the special train line between Huangshan and Yichang has been opened, but sorry I can find the details. Perhaps you should get to Huangshan Railway Station in advance to book the ticket if there are some. It do not have the train every day indeed. If no, you should meke a transfer at Wuhan, I think.

Hi,
Do you know any which mountain hotel is near sunrise points and sunsset points and do you know the Bus time table from Tunxi to Shanghai?
Nov. 27,2009 21:10
Ms.Dora replied:
Most of the hotels in Huangshan Mountain are in Beihai Peak. Places are different for sunrise and sunset. Beihai, Guangmingding can be stayed to see the sunrise. As to the sunset, Xihai has better location. I am not sure about the specific time from TUnxi back to Shanghai now. There are bus direct from Huangshan Mountain to Shanghai and you can also get to Tunxi first and then get back to Shanghai. Generally, the last bus leaves at 15:30. You should confirm the time through enquiring the bus station.

May i know which bus terminal station depart from Shanghai direct to Tongkou ( no bus and bus time table) and how long to take time from Behai Hotel walk to western Yuping cable car station, can recommend some Hot Spring hotel in Huangshan Hot Springs area?
Nov. 24,2009 01:08
Mr.Leostar replied:
At Shanghai South Bus Station, there are four coaches departing to Tangkou, respectively at 06:28, 07:58, 10:12 and 17:12.
As I know, the Beihai Hotel is far from Yuping Cable Car, but very close to Taiping Cable Car. You could refer to the map at: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/images/map/anhui/huangshan-map.gif

I will be in Xiamen next month (Dec) and I am thinking of a trip to Huangshan. Any tips -- transportation, lodging, number of days, costs?
Nov. 18,2009 20:16
Mr.Hank replied:
You could take a flight or a train from Xiamen to arrive in downtown Huangshan City firstly. Here, please catch a bus or a taxi to reach the Mt. Huangshan Scenic Area in one hour. You could stay one night on the mountain, where several hotels are opened. 2~3 days will be ok for visiting the mountain.

Hi, i am visiting Huang Shan with my girlfriend this coming January, i been researching but still cant figure out something, so would like to have some advice from you guys.
1.We are flying from Malaysia to Hangzhou. From there there should be coaches/bus to reach Huang Shan right? Can i know the price and maybe the schedule.. So we wont miss our buses.
2.After Huang Shan we decide to visit Harbin, so what the best option for us to save cost?
Should we buy round way ticket from KL - Hangzhou & Huangshan to Harbin? I trying to find way to save cost, so anyone got any advice please let me know
Nov. 6,2009 02:55
Mr.Shan replied:
1. At Hangzhou West Bus Station, there are coaches departing to Mt. Huangshan Scenic Area directly, respectively at 08:00, 10:30, 10:50, 12:40, 14:10 and 15:10. The fare is about 100RMB/person. It is suggested that you purchase the bus ticket one day in advance.
2. Huangshan is so far from Harbin, so it is suggested that you firstly return to Hangzhou or Shanghai from Mt. Huangshan by bus. Afterwards, you could take a flight to Harbin directly.
Harbin is close to Beijing, where could be reached by train or flight easily. So, if the air fare is reasonable as well, I think you could return to KL from Beijing Capital Airport.

Would there be any problem with luggages when taking the bus from Shanghai to Huangshan?
Is there any place at the foothill hotels at Huangshan where you can leave your big luggages and go up the mountain?
