My wife and I hope to visit Huang Shan in October. I have two questions I hope someone can help answer:

1. What will be the best way for me to travel from Xinyang, Henan to Huang Shan?
2. Is there a place in Tangkou where we can leave some of our baggage safely so we do not need to carry it while hiking on the mountain, especially if we spend the night on the summit?

If you have some answers for us, I will be thankful!
