This is our first time visiting Macau via the longest sea crossing and fixed link on earth - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB 港珠澳大橋) and we had a disappointing experience 😫 Here is a summary of our 3 hours journey to Macau:
10:15 am - We took the Airport bus to HZMB - Hong Kong port. Not all airport buses stop at the HK port (Only Bus A18, A22, A21, A22, A29, A31, A33X and A36).
11:00 am - After you arrive at the HZMB - HK port, you will need to get the ticket for the HZM gold bus 金巴 to Macau. Just go to the self-service counter and pay by the octopus card (HKD$65). Staff are very helpful, so that is not exactly a “self-service” counter. If you pay by cash, you must need to visit the ticketing counter. We then go through the custom. It is right next to the ticketing counter. Very easy and smooth process (It took me less than 2 mins 😂!)
11:15 am - We then walked to the bus station to take the HZM bus. There was a long queue, but we just waited for 10 mins to get onto the bus. Some people keep jumping the queue, even after we told them not too ☹️ .
12:00 noon - Our bus journey was way too exciting - our bus driver was drowsy 💤
12:15 pm - After 45 mins of bus ride, we finally arrived at the HZMB - Macau Port. It took us 45 mins to get through the custom. You will need to walk up and down and up and down again in the Arrival Hall, which was quite tiring, especially for children and elderly.
1:00 pm - We then walked to the bus stop (around 3 mins), and took bus 101X to the Macau City centre (Avenue de Almeida Ribeiro 新馬路). Have HKD$6/MOP$6 ready! There are very limited seats on each bus (around 20) and the staff told us that the next bus will come in 20 minutes. (the next bus came right after our bus left 😂 - the buses actually came one after another). We stood on the bus for 20 mins with our back touching the back of each another. 😂 And Yeah! We finally arrived at the Macau city centre at 1:20 pm 🇲🇴
