Hi there.

I'm thinking of going to Huangshan scenic area next week, intend to catch the bus from Shanghai South Station at 14:15 that will arrive in Tangkou around 8-9pm, spend there a night and then go to scenic area early morning the next day. Would appreciate if u help by answering following questions:

1) How expensive the night at Tangkou might be, any places recommended? Thinking of spending max 100-120rmb per person for accomodation.
2) Is it far from Tangkou to the scenic area?
3) Is it possible to get the direct bus from Tangkou to Shanghai? What will be the schedule?
4) I'm having limited time and want to catch the last bus (if any) leaving Tangkou. What would you recommend then, take a cable car up to the top and then go down on feet? How long approximately could it take?
