Make this route your own

Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.

Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.

Choose your pace

Make room for local life

Choose which visits to shorten or replace. Check the experience’s address and conditions, and arrange meals, shows or workshops separately. The booking planner saves the listed attraction visits.

Central Hefei

The old city

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Start with selected Bao Park interiors
  2. Continue to the residence and a relaxed old-city walk
If the plan changes

Keep public lanes if a memorial interior closes, provided weather permits.

DAY2

Southwest and southern cultural cluster

Provincial collections

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Protect the morning for the correct Anhui Museum venue
  2. Choose one independently confirmed southern institution in the afternoon

Do not assume all three institutions share one reservation or one neighborhood.

Chaohu and its island

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Confirm the round-trip sailing before boarding
  2. Treat the forest park as a separate alternative, not a compulsory extra
If the plan changes

When boats stop, stay on the mainland and use a confirmed open route.

DAY5

West, northwest or urban creative districts

Choose one final cluster

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Choose the ruins plus a nearby garden only if travel fits
  2. Alternatively give the zoo a separate visit, or choose Hechai and dinner at Lei Street
If the plan changes

These are alternatives; avoid combining the zoo, distant ruins and creative district in one rushed loop.

Full guides for possible swaps

These are alternatives to consider, not extra stops to add to the same day. Check locations and transfer times before replacing an itinerary stop; a distant excursion may need a full day.
