From Hong Kong, discover the mint-green charm of Macau's Taipa Houses Museum

Want to experience the mint-green Taipa Houses Museum in Macau? Here are some cross-border transportation tips from Hong Kong to Macau!

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Shuttle Bus (Golden Bus)

- Price: HK$65/person during the day, HK$70/person at night (half price for children and seniors)
- Duration: Approximately 1.5 hours (including customs clearance and transfers)
- Features: Operates 24 hours a day with frequent departures. Daytime buses run every 5-15 minutes, while nighttime buses run every 15-30 minutes. The journey across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge takes 35 minutes. It's recommended to sit on the upper deck's right side for stunning panoramic views of the bridge. Upon arrival at the Macau Port, you can take free shuttle buses to hotels like The Venetian and Galaxy, with most last buses departing around 7:30 PM. Both Hong Kong and Macau ports support self-service customs clearance, which takes about 5 minutes with fingerprint scanning. From the Hong Kong port to the city center, you can take Bus B5 (fare HK$8, duration 40 minutes) or airport buses A21 and A11 (fare HK$34.6 - HK$41.9).

Ferry

- Price: Economy class HK$175 - HK$220, night fares start at HK$220
- Duration: Total time 1 hour (55 minutes sailing + travel time from the terminal to the city center)
- Features: Frequent departures, with ferries from Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal to Macau Outer Harbor Ferry Terminal running every 30 minutes during the day, and the last ferry departing at 11:00 PM. The terminals are conveniently located—Hong Kong's terminal is in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island, and Macau's terminal is in the Outer Harbor, both near metro stations, making it ideal for travelers in a hurry. Daytime ferries offer beautiful sea views, while nighttime ferries showcase dazzling city lights. However, those prone to seasickness should take caution. Additionally, ferries are available from the China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, with slightly higher fares (around HK$200). This terminal is more convenient for travelers staying in Kowloon. Tickets can be purchased in advance on the "TurboJET" or "Cotai Water Jet" official websites to avoid queuing at the terminal.
