You are asking me, a kiwi, which bus station. I asked an american couple where they were going and they said Mt Hengshan and we caught a green bus. Lucky to get a seat behind the lady driver who spoke a little english and showed us different things along the way. Would be nice to get a bus company name for my book. Cheers.
