Replyancient villages Hui
Hi, I plan to visit starting Aug 10th, Xidi, Hongcun, Changkan, Tangmo villages: which order is best when arriving at Huangshan station by train? (or Huangshan North?) Possible to sleep in the villages? After that climbing the Huangshan mountain. All possible in one week? What is the weather like at this period of time? A bit cold up in the mountain? Many thanks (your detailed description of the villages is good) Alex

00ReplyThe order you mentioned would be ok. Both Huangshan Railway Station and the North Railway Station would be ok. You don't need to worry about. As I know, there would have several guesthouses in the villages.
According to the weather forecast, it will be 25C to 35C in the following days. You are suggested to bring some warm clothes because there would be a little bit cold on the top of the mountain.
