Question

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?

1. There are many kinds of hotels in Tangkou and the prices are differ from 50 yuan to 1500 yuan.  I think you can choose to stay in Huangshan Xinghai Hotel according to your budget.2. It is not far. Tangkou is just at the foot of Huangshan. 3. There are buses from Tangkou to Shanghai. It operates from 06:30 to 16：40 and the ticket fare is 140 yuan. 4. You can take cable car up to the top and then take it down. Thus you will have more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain. It takes about 6--8 minutes by the cable car.
