Huangshan Bus Transport
When traveling to Huangshan, it's essential to know two bus stations: one is the Huangshan City Bus Terminal located in Huangshan's city area, and the other is Tangkou Bus Station at the foot of the Huangshan Scenic Area.
Huangshan City Bus Terminal
The Huangshan City Bus Terminal, also known as Tunxi Bus Station, is located in Huangshan City and is very close to Huangshan Train Station. Buses from all over the country that go to Huangshan often stop here. There are frequent buses departing to the Huangshan Scenic Area. Additionally, there are shuttle buses to nearby attractions like Qiyun Mountain, Xidi, and Hongcun.
Tangkou Bus Station
Tangkou Bus Station is situated at the foot of Huangshan, specifically at the Tangkou Zhaixi Xinguo Transfer Center. After arriving at this station, visitors need to take a scenic area bus (Xinguo Line) or taxi from the main entrance to go up the mountain. The bus fare is 10 yuan and goes directly to the cable car entrance.
- Tips： Currently, cities like Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hefei, and Wuhan also have direct buses to the Huangshan Scenic Area. It's best to buy a ticket to the Huangshan Scenic Area (Tangkou).
