# Day trips from Macau

> Macau sits at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta with three genuinely fast links: (1) Hong Kong — TurboJET/Cotai Water Jet ferry ~65-80 min, or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) 'Golden Bus', ~45-60 min and running 24 hours a day, both landing you close to central HK within ~1.5-2h door-to-door of AsiaWorld-Expo, Kai Tak Stadium or HKCEC; (2) Zhuhai — walk straight across the Gongbei/Portas do Cerco border gate in 10-30 min (longer at weekends/holidays), putting you right next to Zhuhai Railway Station and the Zhuhai International Circuit road network; (3) Shenzhen/Guangzhou — either the direct Macau-Shenzhen (Shekou or Fuyong) ferry (~60-70 min) or walk-across-then-high-speed-rail via Zhuhai Station (Zhuhai-Guangzhou South HSR, ~1-1.5h), giving a Guangzhou day trip of roughly 2-2.5h door-to-door. Note: as of 15 June 2026 Macau-side ferry services consolidated onto the Taipa Ferry Terminal (Outer Harbour largely wound down), so double-check which Macau terminal a route uses when booking. Mainland-China legs (Zhuhai/Shenzhen/Guangzhou) require normal mainland entry (Macau permanent residents get 90-day visa-free entry; other nationalities should check their own visa-free/visa-on-arrival status for Guangdong) — Hong Kong itself needs no separate visa for most passports beyond what's already needed to reach Macau.
