Okay, these places are certainly making my wanderlust levels skyrocket! Here’s a pro-tip on how you can visit all FOUR places at ONE go:
Malaysia to Macao:
- Take a flight (the whole flight takes around 3 hours 45 minutes)
- Fly with AirAsia for the best deal in town!
Macao to Hong Kong:
- Travel through the Hong Kong Macao Zhuhai Bridge from Macao to Hong Kong for just MOP65 (about RM35)!
- Not just an architectural wonder, the newly opened bridge also allows straight passage from Macao to Hong Kong!
Crossing the Hong Kong borders to Shenzhen:
