Dear Ms. Angelika Hägele,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, you can take a direct high-speed train from Huangshan North Station to Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, which takes approximately 5.5 hours. It’s a convenient option if you prefer to head directly to Hong Kong after your tour.

You can book tickets yourself through platforms like Ctrip (Trip.com) or the official 12306 railway website/app. Alternatively, if you prefer, we’re happy to assist with booking the tickets on your behalf—just let us know your preferred travel date and seat class.

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance!

Dear Mr. Ghanshyam shrestha,

Thank you for your message! We’re happy to hear you’re currently in Hangzhou and interested in touring and hiking before Sunday afternoon.

Here are two popular day tours that may suit your schedule:

– https://www.chinahangzhoutour.com/tours/show/one-day-essence-hangzhou-tour-2-2.htm

Both tours include an English-speaking guide, and can be adapted to include more outdoor walking or light hiking if you prefer—such as paths along West Lake, the tea fields of Meijiawu, or the bamboo forests of Yunqi.

Dear Mr. Djoko Ary Wijanto,

Thank you very much for your interest in our Shanghai to Huangshan tour, and for sharing your travel preferences. We’re happy to hear you’re looking for a 3-day leisure-style tour starting on October 29, 2025, with First Class high-speed train seats and a relaxed pace, not involving heavy hiking.

We can absolutely arrange a customized 3-day itinerary that allows you to experience the highlights of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and the UNESCO-listed Hongcun or Xidi villages at a gentle rhythm. This includes the option of taking the cable cars up and down the mountain to minimize walking, and extra time for photography, cultural immersion, and scenic viewing.

A detailed itinerary and quotation have been sent to your email. If you have any further questions or preferences (such as hotel level, meal style, or preferred villages), please feel free to let us know, we’d love to create the best possible travel experience for you.

Dear Ms. Sim Yeoh,

Thank you for your interest in a guided cycling tour around West Lake. We'd be delighted to arrange this experience for you.

Regarding the weather, late June in Hangzhou is generally warm and humid, with daytime temperatures ranging from 28°C to 34°C (82°F to 93°F). While it can feel quite hot during midday, a morning or late afternoon ride is much more pleasant and offers beautiful light for viewing the lake and its surrounding gardens. We’ll gladly plan the timing based on your comfort and preferences.

For the tour, we typically use the Hangzhou city bike system or comfortable rental bikes, which are ideal for relaxed riding along the flat, scenic pathways that circle the lake. The route is designed to be leisurely, with frequent shaded areas and scenic stops for photos and rest.

Your English-speaking cycling guide will accompany you throughout, ensuring not only a smooth route and safe riding conditions, but also sharing cultural insights and stories about the landmarks along the way—from Su Causeway to Broken Bridge, and peaceful temples nestled in the hills.

Safety is always our top priority. Please feel free to let us know your preferred time of day for the ride, and we’ll customize the route and pacing accordingly.

Looking forward to welcoming you for a beautiful ride around West Lake!

Dear Mr. Anh Que Tran,

Thank you for your message and interest in visiting both Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and Hongcun Village during your trip.

While it is technically possible to visit both in one day, we would like to let you know that it would be a very tight schedule, and you might feel rushed.

To help you plan better, here’s a brief overview of the travel times:

– From Huangshan North Railway Station to the Yellow Mountain Scenic Area takes about 1 hour by car

– From the Yellow Mountain Scenic Area to Hongcun Village takes another 1 hour by car

– And you would also need to factor in the time needed to explore each site properly, as well as the return transfer to the train station in the evening

Given these time constraints, we recommend focusing on Huangshan only for a more relaxed and immersive experience, especially since hiking or taking the cable car up the mountain and enjoying the scenic viewpoints already makes for a fulfilling day.

Alternatively, if your schedule allows, a 2-day itinerary would be ideal—Day 1 for Huangshan and Day 2 for Hongcun and other nearby villages, offering a more complete and enjoyable visit without feeling rushed.

Please let us know your preferences, and we’d be happy to propose a detailed plan based on your train times and interests.

Dear Mr. Valentina Zuliani,

Thank you for your interest in our Qiyun Mountain Taoist Culture Day Trip from Huangshan. We're very happy to hear that you would like to explore the mountain and temples through a trekking experience—it's truly one of the best ways to connect with Qiyun’s serene beauty and deep Taoist heritage.

We can absolutely customize the day to include a guided trekking route, which usually takes around 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on your pace and how much time you'd like to spend at the temples and scenic viewpoints. The trails are mostly well-maintained stone paths with gentle climbs, passing through cloud-kissed ridges, ancient inscriptions, and active Taoist sanctuaries.

Along the way, your English-speaking guide will accompany you to share stories about the mountain's spiritual legacy, architectural features, and the symbolic meanings behind its natural and cultural landmarks.

If you have any specific interests or preferred walking pace, feel free to let us know — we’re happy to adjust the route accordingly to make the most of your day.
