About:Tunxi Ancient Street

sorry to bother you, I was reading your post about the Huang shan information, and I have some question, if you could give me any advice Ill appreciate it.

A friend of mine and I are planning to go there, we already check plane, train (K818), and bus departing from Shanghai Railway Station, (1840 - 0040)., The thing is for us the train takes ages to get there, but you can -sleep- the night, the bus is cheaper and faster but the arrival time is not that favorable having in mind we were adviced theres no such thing as taxis at the bottom of the mountain so... that keeps holding us from taking it.

What is better to go to Tongkua or Tunxi?

Once we arrived there we want to stay in the Beihai Hotel at the Beihai Sigthseeing part in order to look the sunrise (yes we already checked the weather), how its this possible you enter the park on saturday morning pay the 230 fare, and can stay the nights you want ?? I mean can we just go down on sunday or we need to pay again?

If we stay in tunxi, the arrival place is near the bus station to shanghai, so we can catch the train and come back straigth to shanghai, what time would be recommended?

thank you so much for your time,

Hi, I suggested that you take the direct bus from Shanghai to Tangkang (much closer than Tunxi to the scenic area). And, the bus only takes 5 hours on the way, not like the 15 hours train.

As for the bus, you could take these ones departing from Shanghai South Bus Station (at Shanghai South Railway Station). Here the buses to Huangshan depart at 06:28, 10:12, 17:12. So, I think the former two could meet your needs. Then, you could climb up the mountain in the afternoon or stay in Tangkou Town for one night and visit the morning early next morning.
Yes, you could stay over on the mountain, don't have to pay for another ticket.

As for returning to Shanghai, you could take the same buses at Tangkou, too.
