[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d do phu quoc island in Vietnam in between those city trips. It will be warm and beachy

5 nights in Hong Kong is fine as you’ll take the train to Shen zen and also do a trip to Macau.

Does Shen Zhen do visa on arrival for Americans though? I don’t need a visa for China but my kids will. [/quote]

Yes, visa on arrival. And personally I’d want some beach time in Vietnam between cities [/quote]

Where in Vietnam do you think it would be reliably good beach weather in late December?[/quote]

I said above - phu quoc island. In the south obviously. Sri Lanka is lovely beach weather too, but that takes you off course. But flights are cheap between countries.

I’d cut a day off of each of the cities and add a few days at the beach in Vietnam and just one/two days in Angkor wat. [/quote]

I have been to Phu Quoc and would absolutely not recommend it.  The island is a disaster of low quality tourism development gone wrong and the beaches have a lot of plastic trash washing up, so much so that our resort had a couple women out all day picking it up as it came in… and if you walked just past where they were working it was piled up on the beach.

The night market was great, Vietnamese food is wonderful, the people were friendly, but the island itself is absolutely not worth hitting if you have two weeks in Asia.
