Greater Bay Area: 6-City Highlights Tour

A seamless, one-way journey through the Greater Bay Area covering Guangzhou, Shunde, Zhuhai, Macao, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen.

A classic route through the Greater Bay Area: start with the historic neighborhoods of Guangzhou and the culinary delights of Shunde, cross into Macao via Zhuhai's Gongbei Port for a two-night stay, take the golden shuttle bus (HZMBus) across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to Hong Kong, and finally take the high-speed rail to Shenzhen for departure. Relying entirely on public transit and high-speed rail, there is no need to rent a car. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors to experience Lingnan culture, East-meets-West heritage, and ultra-modern metropolises. Mainland residents will need valid travel permits and endorsements for Hong Kong and Macao. The pace is brisk, but allows for overnight stays in each destination.

July to September is hot and prone to typhoons, which may affect cross-border transport and flights.
