Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / November 2005

I am contemplating a week long photography stay up on Mount Huangshan.
Staying on the mountain would obviate the need to start my journey from the
bottom each day.  The three hotels I have found at the top of the mountain
are the Beihai, Shilin, and Xihai.  User reviews of these hotels are mostly
abysmal, even as the hotels seem to rate themselves as 4-Star hotels.  I
don't need a 4 or 5 star hotel, but I hope to find something that hasn't got
the paint falling off the walls, bathroom full of mold, dampness, and thin
walls.  Any recommendations for a clean inn with or without private bath?  I
have a fair amount of photographic equipment that I prefer not to trek up
and down the mountain daily.  Thanks in advance.
