看园林去苏州，看故宫去北京，吃小吃去成都，看摩登去上海，看兵马俑西安，看清明上河园去开封

scorpio8

这样满的行程会非常赶吧。
桂林飞机降落都1点多了取行李打车去阳朔找船买票又得1-2个小时，路上再遇到点语言不通的计划外状况，真正能看风景的时间基本上就很有限了。澳门一天也有点紧的。
西安兵马俑那天建议先去看兵马俑，我记得从市区开过去也要点时间的，城楼晚上也可以看，夜景还蛮美的。让他们注意别被人骗了带去那个假的兵马俑。另外我记得好像是没有温泉的。

这个如此详细的旅行计划还需要你修订吗？ go for it and have fun!

xuxuelin

这种计划真是自说自话级别的。楼主去告诉那老外，除非跟团而且是纯玩无购物团才有可能玩得那么紧凑，就他一老外人生地不熟，没当地的导游................还是洗洗趁早睡吧

黑鸟

太紧凑，如果一个环节出问题，就影响了行程，建议他把行程放宽松一点，基本上没什么毛病，除了时间比较hurry外，出去玩没必要搞得像行军一样

黑鸟

  建议减少2-3个城市，如果他们是参加amazing race的话，就这么走

黑鸟

保留开始的北京和结束的香港澳门，中间建议选西安，可选上海杭州，或桂林阳朔，但不可以全选
