Im planning to go to hongkong then trip to Macao and Shenzhen. Do i need a visa going to Shenzhen?
Nov. 5,2009 01:28 Ms.Jaymay replied:
Yes, you have to apply for a China visa in advance. On the other hand, you could apply for a 5-day's onsite visa to Shenzhen at one the customs ports between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. In the 5 days, you could visit the Special Economic Zone of Shenzhen.
You do not need a visa if you solely going to Macau and Hongkong unless you will go to mainland China like Guangzhou and neighboring provinces of Macau! Better ask your travel agency. ^_^

Hi, i will be going to hongkong and then macau with my friends for a 3 day vacation. what's the fastest way to get to macau from hongkong (we will be staying at mongkok area in hongkong)..i heard from another person that it takes 10 hours..i dont think we can go there if it will take that long coz we only have 3 days to get around hongkong and macau. our plan is first day in disneyland, ,second day in macau and third day around hongkong. thanks!
Nov. 7,2009 01:43 Mr.Sam replied:
It seems that you have gotten the uncorrect info. Hong Kong to Macau, you could take a ferry at the HK China Ferry Terminal (at Tsim Sha Tsui) or at the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal (at Sheung Wan). The journey is just about one hour.
Go to Hongkong side and take the Ferry ride to Macau. It departs every 15 mins and costs around 980 pesos per person per way. If you travel light (few things to bring), take the bus that goes to Star Ferry. Or better MRT (train).

I arrive from HK and need to go to Zhuhei - do I go only through the Barrier Gate? I have a Chinese Visa but carry US passport. Also, when I return to HK, I have to catch the 7:30 am ferry - are the border crossing start hours still 7 am?
Nov. 7,2009 01:39 Mr.Sam replied:
Yes, when you enter into Zhuhai from Macau, you have to pass through the Gongbei Port,where you will accept the check of China customs. Yes, the Gongbei Port is opend from 07:00 everyday. So, if you will take the 07:30 ferry, you have to return to Macau one day in advance.
