Getting to Huangshan from Hangzhou

After another night in Hangzhou, we woke up nice and early and headed for the West Bus Station to take the bus to Huangshan. We were amazed at how posh the bus station looks.

It’s really helpful if you could read chinese characters. We checked the schedule on the board

And sent Simon to get our tickets.

When we tried to get into the waiting area, we were surprised to be subjected to baggage inspection. It was just like an airport.

At the waiting area, a lady came around pushing a cartload of food and drinks but we didn’t buy anything.

We saw that people were queued up at our boarding gate so we decided to join them.

On the bus, there was this neat little contraption that spews out water when you press your finger. How cool is that?

After a few hours, we reached Huangshan and took two taxis to our hostel. Don’t remember how much it costs but it wasn’t very expensive.

Here we are at Huangshan!

So glad to finally get here. Here’s a peek of my room.

It comes with an attached bathroom. I love that it’s so bright and pretty!

  2. Hey… How long was the travel time by bus from Hangzhou West Bus Station to Huangshan Tunxi?

    • Hi CJ, I don’t remember exactly how long, it was about 4-5 hours I think.

      Are you going to Huangshan? It’s worth a visit. My family is still talking about the visit even though it was so long ago.
