I keep reading how complicated could be to travel to Huangshan scenic area without a tour guide. And although I do agree that the trip does get limited since not many locals speak english, it doesnt mean u can't find your way and enjoy it.
If u are a backpacker that don't mind asking questions with limited language, then is not a big problem. People are friendly. Just learn the very basics of chinese or have a good translation app to support u and go for it.
I went there from Shanghai. So first easy tip: get the overnight train. I've got my ticket from the cTrip app (available in english and highly useful in China). The regular train will leave at night and u get there next morning around 7:00. Outside, pass the people selling u maps from Huangshan, you will see a sign saying Bus Station Transfer to Tankou that costs 20 rmb. They leave once the mini vans are full, so get the one with people already so u dont have to wait too much. They will not stop right in front of the Tankou bus station, so just need to walk a couple of minutes to the Bus Transfer area.
From here, you can pay 20 rmb for a bus that will take you to Honcun (or any other destination u want to go in Huangshan area) or u can pay 30 rmb for another mini van that will take u there. Your choice and both are fine.
I ended up taking the mini van and took 1 hour to arrive at Honcun (driver took a longer path, which wasn't a problem because it gave me several beautiful photo moments oportunities).
Be aware of your time as the last buses back to the city are at 4pm. And if u want to stay over, there are many guest houses for about 200rmb per night. I'm an artist that enjoys spending my time sketching every corner of the places, so coming to this place was awesome. Coming here again for sure.
Tip: after paying for the entrance ticket to the village, buy the bus ticket back to your prefered destination and decide what time u want to go back.
Tip 2: learn how to pronounce the city/places you want to go. Even if u dont speak perfect chinese, they can understand easy word association.

The Hong Village is beautifully located at the footsteps of HuangShan, with Ming-style houses and beautiful ponds and with the mountains at the back - very good with the pictures, that's if you can find a time without people around you - which is rarely!!
Love the windy lanes in-between the houses and ponds and the "Moon Pond" at the centre is great for pictures - and I can see why Director Ang Lee had chosen this spot for his film. However, because of the film, many local and foreign tourists landed there = things getting very commercialised = village is still pretty but has lost that authentic feel.
Still worth a visit before more damages are done to it.

Beautiful and well maintained traditional Chinese village about 45 minutes drive from Tunxi. A relaxing stroll around the lake, the alleys and old building to admire the nice scenery, history and life in the old days. Worth visiting.

This small village just very near the Yellow Mountain, I think a afternoon there is very interesting and rewarding. I visit a few of old houses and observe how the villagers there lead everyday life. Some people may mention the commercial atomosphere, but I don't find it too annoying. Especially enjoy a half-hour-long walk along the creek in the village.

With scenic ponds, traditional "Hui" style houses and beautiful mountains as backdrop, Hongcun is a dreamy Chinese old village. Walking along the small lanes and visiting historical sites is interesting too. The "Moon Pond' in the centre of the village is filming place of one of the famous film, making the village very popular these days. There are a lot of eateries, tea houses and inns. Once you get off the bus, many people will be touting around you.
The entrance fee is quite expensive (over 100RMB) and there are too many souvenir shops making the place quite commercial. The tout is quite annoying too. If you don't want to stay overnight, the last bus back to Tuanxi is at 4pm and it takes around 1:30 hr.

There are a lot of nice architectures and old buildings in the old village. It could be managed better to avoid the merchants ruining the nature of this ancient village. The moon lake was the place that Li An’s famous movie “crouching tiger, hidden dragon” took several famous shoots. Overall, it’s a nice walking tour and quite relaxed.

Went as part of rest point on trip to huangshan, nice simple and historical environment , quite good for photography but when slightly crowded can be uncomfortable to move or take a decent photo.

An old village made famous for its use in the film 'Crouching tiger, hidden dragon'. Pretty with interesting old houses and buildings open to the public, winding alleyways, and a place much used as a subject for art students. It is still actually inhabited but is a major tourist attraction to which the local population have responded by opening shops, selling street food and souvenirs. It can get very busy. There are of course other similar villages to visit - not sure whether their residents would respond with envy of relief that Honcun gets all the visitors.

This use to be a separate village from hong village but as hong village expanded it got swallowed up. It's a bit like the suburbs the roads are wider and their are more shops but in reality it's not really as nice.

We went there as part of a trip to Huangshan mountain. It is a very beautiful village, nice and clean. I wish we have had more time, I could have spend a full day there to watch the details and just walk around.
