Zhuhai
The mainland city on the other side of the Macau crossing. Macau and mainland China have separate immigration controls, so you clear Macau exit, then mainland entry. From Zhuhai you can carry on to Guangzhou by train.

Why Zhuhai
Before you go.
The essentials for a first visit, from our Zhuhai guides.
Getting there
From Macau, most visitors use the Border Gate (Portas do Cerco) walking crossing into Gongbei, Hengqin Port or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Border Gate is the central walking crossing, near Zhuhai Station. Hengqin Port is open 24 hours.
From Hong Kong, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shuttle connects Hong Kong Port with Zhuhai Port by road. You need immigration clearance at the ports you use.
Check which port the shuttle uses. Your hotel transfer starts from that port.
Good to know
Entry: check your permissions separately. Permission to enter Macau does not give permission to enter mainland China.
Heading into mainland China under the 240-hour visa-free transit rule? Cross at Hengqin Port or the bridge port, not Gongbei.
Crossing hours can change on holidays and at peak times. Check with Macau's Public Security Police or the port operator on the day.
Qingmao Port is not an ordinary option for foreign visitors: access is limited to eligible residents of the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau.
Pairs well with
Macau. Across the border. Most foreign visitors walk through Border Gate, use Hengqin Port or take a bridge route.
Guangzhou. By train after mainland entry: search Zhuhai to Guangzhou South on 12306, China's rail booking site. Confirm the station, identity requirements and availability for your travel date.
Hong Kong. Linked to Zhuhai by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shuttle.
