Hi, I would like to departure from Shanghai (Thursday evening) to hefei, pick a friend and then go to Mount Huangshan ( taiping cable car station).What would be the best way to do that... Can someone give me timetables (bus or train...) thanks a lot.
Aug. 7,2009 02:48 Mr.Frank replied:
Take a train from Shanghai to reach Hefei on the early morning, see the train details at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/
Then, take a bus from Hefei to Tunxi, Huangshan City where you could hire a cab or take a coach to reach Taiping directly. But, I'm afraid that the rest time in this day is not enough for you to take the cable to the mountain. You may have to stay one night in Taiping.

Hi,
I'll be visiting Huangshan with my family, 2 adults and 3 children (age 13, 11 and 8) in late August. We're coming from Hangzhou, I heard there is bus transportation from Hangzhou to Tangkou or Huangshan Scenic Area directly. Could you tell me where is the bus terminal in Hangzhou? Where to buy the bus tickets? And what are the bus schedule? Lastly, is it safe to travel with the family, since we're visitors to China and know little Mandarin?
Thanks.
Aug. 3,2009 04:29 Mr.Shan replied:
The Huangshan Scenic Area is located in Tangkou Town, so they are the same destination by bus.
Everyday, there are 6 buses leaving from Hangzhou West Bus Station to Huangshan Scenic Area, respectively at 08:00, 10:30, 10:50, 12:40, 14:10 and 15:10. The fare is 99RMB/per person. You could purchase the tickets when you arrive at the bus station.
I think it is safe to travel to Huangshan with families. Just take it easy!

We arrive at the Huangshan Airport at 20:50 from Guangzhou. We would like to go up the Taiping Cable way early next morning. I have two questions:
1. Can we go straight to Taiping Cable Car Station from the Airport? How much a taxi would cost and how long would it take ? Are there places (Hotel or hostel) near Taiping Cable Car station for a night stay ?
2. Is it too late in the night? Shall we stay in Tunxi that night and go next morning ? What are the time and costs of a taxi from Tunxi to Taiping Cable car station ?
Jun. 10,2009 02:08 Mr.Shan replied:
Hi Mohua, there is no bus could take you from the airport to Taiping Cable Car in Taiping County where the north gate of the Mt. Huangshan is located. So,you have to hire a cab if you would like to reach there at the same day. The taxi fare should be no less than 150RMB, may be much more at night. It takes 1.5 hours on the way.
Actually, it is suggested that you stay over in Tunxi and take a bus or a taxi to Taiping the next morning. On the other hand, it is easy for you to look for an economical and comfortable hotel in Tunxi. The taxi is also around 150RMB>
Hope this helps~
