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?
