🏨 Accommodation Tips
1⃣ Zhuhai: For Chimelong Ocean Kingdom and Spaceship Park, booking a package deal is the most cost-effective! We compared hotel + ticket prices, and the package was unbeatable. We stayed at Spaceship Hotel—super convenient with takeout options (though delivery isn’t to the room, pickup is easy).
2⃣ Macau: Stay near Senado Square in Macau Peninsula! Walkable to attractions. We visited the Ruins of St. Paul’s twice—once in the afternoon and again the next morning. Taipa is best after 4 PM for food, gondola rides, and dazzling night views. Free shuttle buses connect the Peninsula and Taipa—budget-friendly and hassle-free!
