Elong Anyue Hotel (Huangshan Scenic Area South Gate Transfer Center)

Might be the best accoms for fellow travellers climbing Huangshan! The hotel provides free transport to and fro from the 南门换乘 which is essentially the place to buy tickets and go up the mountain or wherever your bus will drop you off if you’re coming from the train station, you just gotta give them a call and they’ll come pick you up in 5 mins. The best thing in my opinion is after a hard and tiring day of climbing and you take the bus back down, they literally can drop you off right opposite the hotel (the stop is called 汤口岭） and you literally waste no extra energy to get back to your accoms after the long day! Also the hotel has foot massage services (although I didn’t try it but it’s pretty affordable just about 10USD) and the convenience store at the lobby has about just everything you need to prep yourself for a day of climbing (eg food/drinks/raincoat/hiking sticks/local snacks) but just watch out for the auntie at the counter overselling you things that you might not actually need for your climb. Also a last thing to add is that I accidentally booked two different rooms for the two days I was staying there and the counter stuff were really nice in helping me upgrade one of the rooms so I could stay in the larger room for both days and didn’t have to shift my stuff. Really appreciate the friendly counter stuff who also helped to arrange for transportation to the train station when I ended the trip, this 拼车 method of transport is much cheaper than getting your own ride hailing online on the apps and it cost just about 5USD for a close to 1 hour ride to 黄山北站. Highly recommended for travellers to stay at this rlly nice hotel that’s inexpensive and has a great location!
