Reviewed on 15 March 2024

Hi! I’m very interested in your day trip to Huangshan mountains from Shanghai for two people. We (2 people) are staying in Shanghai from March 29-April 7 and would love to go on April 1st, 2nd, or 4th. How much would the rate change if lunch/snacks were included? What are the general times for trains/getting back/etc? Thank you so much!

Hi Morgan,

Thank you for your interest in the day trip to Huangshan from Shanghai!

Here’s what we can offer for your trip:

April 1st, 2nd, or 4th all work well for us, so we can definitely arrange a tour on one of those dates.

If you’d like to include lunch/snacks, we can arrange a local meal at a restaurant near the Huangshan area. The cost will generally increase by about RMB 150-200 per person depending on the meal options, but I can confirm the exact price when I send over the full itinerary.

The high-speed train from Shanghai to Huangshan typically takes around 3.5-4 hours.

Morning departure: We recommend taking an early morning train from Shanghai to make the most of your day (around 7:00-8:00 AM).

Evening return: After your tour, you can take a late evening train back to Shanghai (around 7:00-8:00 PM), ensuring that you have enough time to visit the main attractions.

Once I have more details, I’ll follow up with a full itinerary and pricing, including the option for meals and specific train schedules.

Let me know if you have any additional preferences, and I’ll make sure to adjust accordingly!
