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 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.

DAY1

Xiangzhou

Museum and a limited coastal walk

Planner route: Museum and a limited coastal walk.

Planner stops: Zhuhai Museum + Lovers' Road Coastal Walk.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Start with Zhuhai Museum after checking the current reservation or passport front-desk process.
  2. Afternoon: Choose one coastal section around Xianglu Bay and the Fisher Girl, or an opera-house exterior walk on Yeli Island; do not walk the entire corridor.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If the museum closes, keep the coast only in suitable weather; theater interiors and performances require separate access.

DAY2

Hengqin

One full Hengqin theme-park day

Planner route: One full Hengqin theme-park day.

Planner stops: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Travel to Ocean Kingdom with the correct dated park product and confirmed document process.
  2. Afternoon: Choose a limited set of halls and rides and use the current operating notice. Spaceship Park is a separate full-day alternative.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If storms stop outdoor activities, use included indoor exhibits when open; another park, theater or hotel package is not automatically interchangeable.

DAY3

Wanshan islands / Dong'ao

One island, with a confirmed return

Planner route: One island, with a confirmed return.

Planner stops: Dong'ao Island.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Travel only after confirming the correct terminal, passenger documents and outbound and return ferries.
  2. Afternoon: Walk a manageable island route; Wailingding or Guishan is an alternative island choice, not an additional same-day island hop.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If wind suspends ferries, stay on the mainland and move a museum or garden day forward. Do not plan Macau as a casual unverified replacement.

DAY4

Xiangzhou

Garden architecture and a slower city afternoon

Planner route: Garden architecture and a slower city afternoon.

Planner stops: New Yuanming Garden.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Visit the New Yuanming Garden's open landscape and selected building displays.
  2. Afternoon: Keep the afternoon near your base, or revisit a favorite coastal section in safe weather.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If performances close, retain the garden only with the correct access. Severe rain calls for an independently open indoor venue.

DAY5

Doumen

A chosen western district outing

Planner route: A chosen western district outing.

Planner stops: Imperial Hot Spring Resort.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Use a confirmed hot-spring day-use product or overnight package, allowing changing and rest time.
  2. Afternoon: A Doumen herb-garden or another western venue can replace this whole day according to interests; avoid an ambitious cross-district checklist.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If facilities are under maintenance or the product is unsuitable, choose a separately confirmed alternative; protect departure and any border-crossing time.

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.
