About:Anhui Travel

I am currently in Shexian and want to visit Xidi, Hongcun etc

What is the best transport for this area? Is a pedicab ok for these long distances or should I get a car? How much is it for either? Where can I organise the transport?

The distance is about 50 miles (80km). A pedicab is not suitable for such a long distance. If by taxi, the fare may be around CNY 200-300. By public transport, you may take a bus to Tunxi from Shexian Bus Station. Upon arrival, take a bus to Hongcun. Please note that the bus stops at Xidi, and reaches Hongcun finally. :)

Thanks Jack,
We decided on the Taxi, which we had for the day...from 9.30am to 6.30pm.
We visited Tanyue/Bao Garden, Tangmo, Chengkan, Hongcun and Tunxi.
The cost of the Taxi was 500 Y....and the driver was excellent. He went out of his way to make the day a great day.
There is no way that we could have had this adventure, in one day on public transport.
I would suggest to other travellers, who wish to stay in this area, that they stay in Tunxi....rather than Shexian. Tunxi's 'old street' is very lively at night.
Again thanks for your response.
