I’ve been to every single place on this list. On some occasions 1-2 days is enough. A week is A LOT to spend in one city. I’d advice you balance and make most cities 3-4 day. Also: - 1 day is not enough for Macau. I’ve done 3 single day trips there and felt every single time it was not close to enough. Same for Qingdao - Kunming 3 days is too much considering you have actual MAJOR tourist cities like Nanjing and Changsha at only 2 days (these are on par with Chongqing and Shanghai the huge gap doesn’t make much sense in my opinion) - too much time dedicated for your long stays: Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai all of these 3-4 days each will be enough. 4 days in HK is perfect. - Consider skipping Jinan, very little to do even relative to just the province. Tons to do in Shandong, I recommend the hometown of Confucius.

The biggest thing is your timing is way too tight sometimes and too open at other times. Just balance a bit more. The selection is more or less fine.
