Macau in one day!
Finally visited MACAU! One day seemed too short for a city too awesome!
And take note, MACAU doesn’t need a Visa so no hassle at all!
HOW TO GET TO MACAU:
By plane
By Ferry from Kowloon or Hongkong Island
Kowloon-China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. We were staying at BP International Hotel so we just walked to the terminal. You can actually choose from First ferry, Cotai Jet or TurboJet. Fares would range from 138-275 HK$. We took the First Ferry. When we got to a terminal, someone offered us 270 HK$ for a round trip ticket with First Ferry and the ticket allows night sailing too.
SAMPLE ITINERARY
–this is our itineray, there were slight changes though

HOW TO TOUR AROUND
Hop on free shuttle buses found outside the 2 ferry Terminals, Macau Ferry Terminal and Taipa Ferry Terminal.
Bus fare is MOP3.2 for all routes within the city and MOP4.2 to Taipa and Coloane Island. Prepare MOP coins if you’re planning to take the bus
PLACES TO GO
Shops at the Canal
Venetian Hotel Macau
How to get there: free shuttle service from Taipa or Macau Ferry Terminals and there are free shuttle services going to the Ferry Terminals too
Time to Spend: An hour for pictures and tour would be fine but if you want to try the Gondola, it takes a bit longer.

Gondola rides at 108 HK$ and their Gondoliers really sing like angels!
SHOPPING. If you have enough money, perfect!
They also have an awesome lobby!
They also have theatre shows, Zaia and Cirque de Soleil
—I added this place to my bucket list… even for a one night stay at this place! 2 hours we spent there was too short! This place was totally awesome, I haven’t been to venice but with their Gondola ride, I feel I’m halfway there!

Hello i have to say thanks so much this data brought to us was so important, i authentically enjoyed every piece of this information it has verily helped me.
Hi, i saw your comment on another website and I would like to ask if you were able to get SHENZHEN visa at Lo Wu border thanks,
we didn’t but I know there are agencies that would process a group visa for 100HKD i’ll try to look for their email address.
Your blog is really very helpful. We’ll be going to Hk & Macau this July. And that really helps a lot as we’re going there on our own. Thank you for posting especially about the 100 Hkd free at Venetian. 😉
