How to Travel between Guangzhou and Macau

Or passengers can take Guangzhou - Zhuhai Gongei Port direct buses and then get to Macau by bus or by taxi, which takes about 2.5-4h.

I prefer train, which is more punctual and reliable. You can go from Macau to Gongbei port, cross the broder and then walk to the Zhuhai Railway Station, where there are many trains to Guangzhou.

From Macau to Pazhou, it is advised to take bus no. 25B, 30, 51A, MT4 to Sun Yat Sen Park, and walk westward to Gongbei Port, Macau. Go through the customs and then walk westward to Zhuhai Railway Station and take a high speed train to Guangzhou South Railway Station.

At Guangzhou South Railway Station, take metro line 2 to Changgang station, then transfer to line 8 to Pazhou metro station.

144h TWOV Visa Exit via Zhuhai Gongbei Port
Is it possible to exit China via Zhuhai Gongbei Port to Macau under the 144h TWOV visa regulation? The port is listed, but I think I cannot provide a departure ticket when entering because the train will only be from Guangzhou to Zhuhai Gongbei. I will enter China from Germany with a direct flight to Guangzhou.

I'm afraid you will be rejected because you cannot provide a leaving ticket.

Thank you so much, that's very helpful information. In this case, going from Shenzhen by ferry to Macau and providing a ticket should be no problem, right?

No, if you want to enter China again, you should obtain a visa of double entries.
