Want to visit Hong Kong for a day while in Macau for a couple of days and don’t feel like taking the ferry because your seasickness and your scared of getting drown because you don’t know how to swim? Worry no more!!! you can now take the HZMB bus! Also known as Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge buses. It provides an alternative option to ferry services which were previously the most popular means to travel between Macao-Hong Kong vice versa.
at Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade Park, overlooking Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.
Here’s how we manage to navigate ourselves.
- You can take either 101X Bus or 102X Bus, depending on the location of your hotel.
- We took the 101X Bus as it is closed to, we were staying at (HOU KONG HOTEL MACAU)
- 2 minutes from our Hotel there is a bus stop right in front of Sofitel Macau
- Fare is MOP6.
*Make sure to give exact amount as the driver won’t give you changed for your bills.
*Last stop of these buses is the HZMB Macao Port itself, so no need to worry.
Once you arrived at the HZMB Macao Port, head straight to the ticketing booth, Fare is MOP65. Clear immigration and board your bus.

The buses operate 24 hrs a day and depart between every 5 minutes in peak season and every 30 minutes in off-season. 45 minutes later, you will be arrived at HZMB Hong Kong Port. Head straight to clear immigration and voila you’re in Hong Kong soil!!!

Since we only had a few hours in Hong Kong, we made sure to visit spots and tourist attractions that are close to each other.
First Stop: Exploring Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon (the shopping mecca of HK) we had a relaxing afternoon at Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade Park, overlooking the beautiful panoramic view of Victoria Harbour.

Third Stop:
- The Peak Observatory Deck - If your running out of time and wanted to see Hong Kong in one frame, make sure to head to the Sky Terrace 428 located at The Peak Tower, the highest outdoor viewing platform and one of the best place to see the spectacular panoramic view of Hong Kong. Admission fee for Adult HK$ 52 for Child (aged 3-11) and Senior (aged 65 or above concession) HK$26. Unfortunately, we decided to skip Sky Terrace 428 and just spent a few minutes at the Peak Observatory Deck as it is FREE and you get to see the same view.

- The Peak Tram ride experience. - This iconic mode of transportation has been going since 1888, that carries both tourists and residents of Hong Kong, it also provides the most direct route from Garden Road Admiralty to Victoria Peak via the Mid-Levels, and offers good views over the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island.

Fourth Stop: Quarry Bay Monster Building (famous on social media for photo-op)
Last Stop: Hong Kong Disneyland. Too bad we weren't able to ride any rides because it was very later for us, when we get there. They were closing at 8pm and we arrived there around 6:30 pm. So instead of wasting our money for a few hours rides, we decided to just take a snap at the arch and call it a day.
