Hi, I wanted to climb Mt Heng, how long does it take from Hengyang and Hengshan to get there (want to compare).

From Hengshan Railway Station, it takes about 30 minutes to Mt Heng, while from HY, it takes about 50 to 60 minutes and you have to transfer to get the mountain.
it is hard to find the hostel near the Hengshan Railway Station, but you can find hostel in Hengshan County center area. Hengshan Hotel along East Renmin is suggested.
For HY, hotels and hostels can be easily found near the HY railway station.

I am here in Hengyang for several years ... I can guide u ... rj.ibrahim.haider this is my Skype id ... we can communicate if u want
