I'm finalising everything for mine and the BFs forthcoming trip to China, leaving later next week. Had a lot of support on here for the early plans for which I've been very grateful! I just have a final few things to iron out...

1) I fly in on LH953 arriving into T3 at 0830, then depart on CA1847 at 1105 out of T3. Is it straight forward connecting within T3? I need to pick up luggage and re-check in, hopefully with no delays on arrival. I booked my internal flight through ctrip and have received an email confirmation but no ariline ref. to check my status online etc, is this normal?

2) I'm planning on getting a bus from Nanjing to Tangkou. I've not been able to find uptodate and reliable times online but plan on heading to Nanjing Central Gate Bus Station (Nanjing Zhongyangmen) to check times/book tickets. Is this the best plan or does anyone know how to check times online?

3) Any recommendations for seeing sunset/sunrise on Mt Huangshan? I'm staying at Beihai hotel if that helps.

4) How easy it to get from Tangkou to Hongcun?

5) The BF arrives into Beijing on LH953 T3 at 0830 and departs from T2 on CZ3282 at 1155. I think this is long enough for a transfer, but what is the quickest way to get through immigration and transfer to T2, etc. Any experiences would be useful.

6) We're going to spend a couple days in Yangshuo, any personal tips on what to see? I know the key sites but wondering if anyone knows anything off the beaten path at all.

Otherwise I'm quite confident things are in order as best they can be, so thanks all for the help!
