SUGGESTION : You can skip OCT East Tea Stream Valley, that place sucks. May include other more interesting places such as Windows of the World, 欢乐世界, The Minks Russian battleship, Beaches etc. Remember download offline Baidu maps before you go, Android Google Maps have problem with its offline after upgraded to Version 7 onwards?

I would recommend Mafengwo http://www.mafengwo.cn/jd/10198/0-0-0-0-0-1.html for research, apart from the usual Wikitravel and Tripadvisor.
