From Hong Kong to Macau: Discover Hidden Gems

If, like me, you were captivated by the scenery in "The Splendid Wind and Sea" and now dream of exploring Macau, this guide is perfect for planning a crowd-free city walk in this exotic city. Here's a transportation guide from Hong Kong to Macau that you’ll want to keep handy!

Ferry: Affordable and Relaxing

Taking a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau is a great option. Start by taking the light rail or a taxi to the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, where ferries to Macau depart frequently. The ticket prices are budget-friendly, and the frequent schedules cater to most travel times. During the journey, you can enjoy the sea breeze and stunning ocean views, making for a leisurely and pleasant trip. Once you arrive at the Macau Ferry Terminal, you can take a bus or taxi to your desired destination. For instance, if you’re heading to Coloane, you can find the appropriate bus routes near the terminal to experience its beautiful coastline and forests.

Direct Bus: Convenient and Time-Saving

A direct bus from Hong Kong to Macau is another excellent choice, especially for those who want to save time and effort. Purchase tickets at designated bus stations in Hong Kong, and the bus will handle immigration procedures at the border before heading straight to Macau. Upon arrival, if you’re planning to explore the less crowded and scenic route of Lilau Square - Penha Hill - Rua da Barra, you can choose to continue your journey by bus or taxi based on the bus stop locations.

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Shuttle Bus: Enjoy the Bridge Views

Taking the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shuttle bus is also a viable option. Board the bus at the Hong Kong port and enjoy the magnificent views of the bridge along the way. Once you arrive at the Macau port, you can transfer to other transportation to reach your destination. If you’re heading to Hac Sa Beach for a relaxing day with your dog, check out the transportation options near the port to experience the low-hanging clouds and laid-back atmosphere there.
