Since your destinations are Hong Kong and Taizhou. You can fly to HK for a visit first! After that, go to Shenzhen. At Shenzhen North Train Station, you can take a bullet train to Taizhou in around 8.5h.

Courtyard by Marriott Wulin is a nice 4 star hotel and you may think about it. It is about a 2.5-3 hours bus journey from HZ to Huangshan. I think one day is enough for you to view the mountain.

I arrive in Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport at 11.35pm. Is there a train to Shanghai at so late an hour or should I stay a night? Thanks.

You can still find train during the late night. You can take the airport shuttle bus directly to Railway station to catch the train which departs at 01:49. Well, you can also stay a night and then take bullet train to Shanghai the next day.
