Yes for the structure shown, provided the arrival and departure times fit. We add time rather than compress the route when connections or seasonal conditions make the plan unrealistic.

No unless the final proposal explicitly says otherwise. The route is a private starting point and can be reshaped around your dates, group and preferred pace.
Are hotels and transport services already fixed?
No. We recommend stay areas and a transport strategy here, then confirm named hotels and specific services only in a dated proposal.
What happens if weather or access changes?
The guide protects the purpose of the day and adjusts timing, sequence or the activity. For Guangzhou · Shenzhen, safety and current access take priority over the draft order.
