a. fly to HK, ferry from HKIA skypier to Macau, and then ZH;
b. fly to Macau (Tiger air), and then ZH ? |
Have not tried ferry to ZH before but took ferry to shekou before... Tried going in from Macau to ZH before also.
Traveling via ferry is quite easy but as mentioned, only if u are on flights that are "approved". One way to go ard it is to not check in bag loh haha. I think that might solve the problem. Easy to check online for the schedule as well and pls be reminded that cut off for buying the tics is 1hr and the intervals are normally 1hr so u don't want to miss the 1hr booking timing by 5min and end up having to wait 2hrs in the airport.
Traveling via zhuhai is liken to traveling thru luohu immigration. The negative point is that sometimes the queue can be quite long and u might have to factor in enough time to clear the customs. Macau airport is quite small much like the old SZ airport and if u arrive too early, it's darn boring as well. If traveling via macau, just clear customs and take a cab to gong bei customs and u can cross over by foot to zhuhai. U can pay the taxi driver in hkd or rmb or if u have Macau dollar even better. Because I remembered I didn't want to change Macau dollar so I use hkd (both exchange rates are abt the same), the driver returned my change in Macau dollar which is actually hardly used by us.
This is just my personal experience and maybe it might differ for some of u buy just some input from my side.... Cheers out!
