At this rate, if we can't find someone to take us around Guandong then potentially we could skip it altogether and fly to HK instead (are flights expensive on routes between China and HKG booked 2-6 weeks out?)
China is about the same size as the lower 48 US states, and we've really only been talking about the eastern seaboard. Imagine doing DC, Boston, and Orlando in succession...not especially difficult.
Flights are quite cheap 2-6 weeks out, but it's convenient you added that qualifier because many people are perplexed by the fact that discounted inventory doesn't get released until then. If you want to get a ballpark idea on prices, search for flights 3 weeks from NOW.
