Looking for a guide from Shanghai to Huangshan to Xidi Hongcun

Take a bus directly from Shanghai South Railway Station to Tunxi, which takes about 4-5 hours, and then go to the hotel to rest for a while. There are many hotels in Tunxi. You can decide the hotel based on your personal spending power. You can go to Tunxi in the afternoon. Walk around Xi Old Street and Xin'an River, and stop by the supermarket to prepare some things for going up the mountain, such as water, food, etc.

The next morning, you can take the bus to Huangshan Scenic Area directly at the train station or bus station. The bus goes to Tangkou. When you get off at Tangkou, there is an internal shuttle bus to Huangshan Scenic Area, which is divided into two. The two routes are to Yungu Temple-Baieling (back mountain), Ciguang Pavilion-Yuping Tower (front mountain). If you want to live on the mountain, it is better to go from the back mountain. The back mountain has more scenery, so you can spend more time.

After going down the mountain, you can consider going to Tunxi to rest and take a bus directly to Xidi Hongcun, Yixian County. P.S. If you plan to go directly to Yixian County and go down the mountain, you should go early. It seems that the buses in Yixian County are not available after four o'clock. If you really can’t make it, take a bus back to Tunxi. P.S. The latest bus from Tunxi to Yixian is 5:20. Another way is to get off at Xiuning. This is the only way from Tunxi to Yixian. Follow The conductor said that if you want to go to Yi County, he will help you see if you can make it in time.

Generally, one day is enough for Xidi Hongcun. If you want to experience it slowly, you can consider staying one more day. You can take a bus in Yixian County, but there seems to be a bus between the two scenic spots, but it is very few. You may not be able to get one after waiting for a long time. If you really can't stand it, you can go to Yixian County and transfer again. It is more convenient to live in Yi County, or if you take a bus directly to Hongcun, you can live in Hongcun. There are many hotels in Yi County. There are several family-style hotels next to the bus station. There is a Jinling Hotel just past the traffic lights. There are also some in the middle of the county where you need to take a bus. There is Yuanyang Valley over there in Xidi. It is very cool in summer and is a good place to escape the heat. You can get there by bus, but you still have to walk a little further.

There is also rafting. There is one each in Huangshan and Yixian County. It depends on which one you like.

If you feel you have enough time when you return to Tunxi, you can go to Huashan Mystery Cave for a stroll. There is a shuttle bus from Tunxi to Huashan Mystery Cave directly, which is very cool.

The weather is still quite hot now, and it is the same in Huangshan. Be careful to prevent heatstroke when going out.
