Hi was wondering how do i get from hong kong to macau.
the cheapest way? by land if there is, will it be cheaper?
and i'll be staying at Li's hostel, at nathan road, they charged 70 usd for 2 nights, is the price okay?

ok walk to the star ferry building and take one of the ferries across the water to reach macau. it takes about an hour, and is by far the easiest way to get there. hit the dog track if you can it is alot of fun, but then all of macau is fun. you will have a great time.

as for the mansions on nathan road. 70 for two nights could be good depending on the quality of the room. for the mansions though this is a fairly premium price. my usual stay costs usd25. my last room in hong kong cost me usd10 but it was a closet with a shared bathroom.

forgot to mention 70 usd for 2 person. so it's average price right? roughly how much will it cost to get over to macau?

This is one site that'll give you an indication and plenty more info under Macau Ferry on

Cheapest at about US$18 to go on a week day.

can't seem to enter that website.
but okay. guess i have to keep aside 20usd.
i'll also be heading down to shenzhen and guangzhou.
are these places safe? i heard people would grab you in LoWu commercial shopping centre?

The site is www.turbojet.com.au and what sort of people are supposed to grab you in the shopping centres, kidnappers, cannibals, or just touts wanting you to buy something!

Ferry from HK to Macau is HK$141 each way (about US$18.20). It's fast. Once in Macau, grab a bus route map from the Tourist Information Centre in the ferry terminal. Macau is small and easy to get around. I'll be in Macau May 20-24, and will make a day trip to HK one of those days! Can't wait!

The most expensive way (HKD1800)
