For the 7-Day Greater Bay Discovery Tour: Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, check the stop's access and any booked extra if it is included on day 1; a late inbound service leaves time for dinner and rest only.
Hong Kong to Macau
Leave Hong Kong around 09:00 for licensed ferry or the confirmed cross-boundary road service; allow about 45–60 minutes for station or airport access before the main leg. The main leg takes travel time and border processing as confirmed, after which the arranged vehicle completes the transfer to the Macau hotel. Allow 90 minutes for Senado Square only if the arrival leaves enough daylight.
Hong Kong: Heritage districts and local markets
| Visit listed | Central Market and nearby heritage streets |
|---|---|

Macau to Guangzhou
Plan a hotel pickup around 09:00 for the confirmed train, flight or private road leg between Macau and Guangzhou; allow about 45–60 minutes for station or airport access before the main leg. After the scheduled main leg, use the arranged vehicle to reach the Guangzhou stay and check in. If arrival leaves at least 90 minutes of daylight, visit Chen Clan Ancestral Hall near the new base without a prepaid timed stop.
Guangzhou: Cantonese food culture and historic lanes
Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 to Changshou Lu, then walk; allow about 30–45 minutes. Be at Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street around 10:00, keeping about two hours for the visit without cutting into the next rail leg. The street needs no ticket; tasting stops are paid as agreed.
Shenzhen: Creative districts and bayfront spaces
Start with Shenzhen Bay Park around 09:00; set aside about 90 minutes before lunch or the next transfer. Take the metro or private car from the central hotel; allow about 30–45 minutes. The waterfront walk is open access; any paid activity will be finalized before travel; see booking notes in the China trip planning guide.
Depart Shenzhen
Allow at least 60 minutes after hotel checkout for luggage and the private transfer toward Shenzhen North Railway Station; pickup details will be set to match your departure. If the confirmed departure leaves a clear two-hour gap, take a short walk at Shenzhen Bay Park close to the overnight base. Any paid admission or timed activity is arranged only after the onward ticket is fixed; check entry arrangements in the China trip planning guide.
