      I used to take a bus from Shenzhen through Dongguan, in 2007, to do product inspections in Dalian which is a suburb of Foshan and then take a bus back to Shenzhen. Adding Guangzhou to it would not be difficult. I never got to Huizhou though. I sometimes used to go to Zhuhai rather than going back to Shenzhen as I had an apartment in a village in Zhuhai.

    The infrastructure in the Pearl River Delta is awesome, and improving rapidly too.
    In the future you will be able to do a tour like this linking both sides of the PRD within 12 hours utilising the full PRD intercity railway network for more stops and taking the Shenzhen-Zhongshan bridge to get back to Shenzhen.

    Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Huizhou- Dongguan -Guangzhou -Foshan -Jiangmen -Zhongshan -Zhuhai -Macau -Hong Kong. Shenzhen-Dongguan-Guangzhou-Foshan is actually the world's biggest contiguous 'single' city (as in one can walk on a pavement surrounded by dense buildings from one end to another, without break), having overtaken Tokyo in 2015 according to the World Bank report. It now houses over 40 million people, and 50 million in it's metro count. The whole Bay area cities are 80 million

    The implication of this day trip is that the "Greater Bay Area" will have a high concentration of many university graduates and professionals in the high value technology industries of the future and in finance, distributed within easy commutes from each city centre. Meanwhile some of the low-end manufacturing industries that used to be in Dongguan and Guangzhou might be relocated elsewhere, including nearby countries within the RCEP trading bloc like Vietnam. As well, many of the Middle East OPEC trust funds will come to the GBA, to diversify their portfolio away from the US & Europe. The reason is obvious after the Ukraine war. These gulf countries need to minimize the risk of their oil funds being confiscated and robbed by the US & its allies, like what was done to the rich Russians. This GBA will be an important global focus for many decades.

    such a bummer you didn't get to experience the seamless transition from the intercity railway to a city subway. No hauling service needed to travel within these five cities, all of them are connected by subways and high speed rail. especially from Dongguan to Guangzhou, had you took the train, it would've taken you to Guangzhou East railway station in 35 minutes, right in the center of Tianhe District.
    Anyway, Thanks for showing us this amazing trip.
