How to get from Changzhi to Hua Shan?

Possible to visit for a weekend but there is no direct train between Changzhi and Xian. You can take bus, about 10 hours. Three buses a day. I would suggest you take train from Changzhi to Zhengzhou (arriving Zhengzhou 5 hours later at 6am in the morning). Then buy high-speed train ticket from Zhengzhou to Huashan North, 1.5-2 hours. There is shuttle bus to pick you to Huashan Mountain, the bus ticket is about 10RMB for 20 minutes or so.

Hi, thank you very much for your reply!
And the return trip would work the same way? Take the shuttle bus, then high speed train and then an overnight train back to Changzhi?

Do you have a web address where I can find the train schedules? It could even bein chinese, I will soon have a few Chinese co-workers around.

Okay, stupid question, I guess I can just use this site :)

Okay, so after some research I found train connections. However the night trains betweem Changzhi and Zhengzhou only have soft seats, no sleepers. Would it still be possile to get some sleep, for example by spreading across several seats or are these trains expected to be very crowded??

Thanks again!
