Guangzhou - Macau Train

Up to now, there is no direct Guangzhou to Macau train or vice versa, no matter high speed or non-bullet train. But the high speed rail line from Guangzhou South Railway Station has been extended to Zhuhai Railway Station, which is just next to Macau across Gongbei Port. After passing the port, there are buses taking you to many destinations in Macau.
 There are about 100 pairs of high speed trains a day running between Guangzhou South Railway Station and Zhuhai Railway Station. The duration is about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours only, and the ticket price is CNY90 per person for first class seat and CNY70 per person for second class seat.

Zhuhai Railway Station is in walking distance to the Gongbei Port, or called Barrier Gate, Border Gate and Portas do Centro in Macau. The opening time of the port is from 06:00 to 01:00 next day. Please kindly notice that for passengers who travel to Zhuhai, it is important to get off at Zhuhai Railway Station instead of Zhuhai North Railway Station. The North station is far from the port.

Thank you for your inquiry.

For this trip, Guangzhou South Station and Zhuhai Station offer e ticket service now. Passengers can show passport at checkin gate for checkin directly. However, for first time travelers, passengers still need to hold passport to verify their travel document first and then the passport can be used for checkin. Hope this information can help you a little.

The ticket must be collected from a railway station, so you cannot do it in Macau. You would need to collect in Zhuhai instead. Or may you choose their delivery option to have paper tickets send to you.

There is shuttle bus directly from the port to the Gongbei bus station nearby. You can then walk to the railway station. You can find taxi easily as well.
