Traveling by plane is another option where you get to Macau from Guangzhou in an easy way. There are several airlines that serve flights from Guangzhou to Macau including ECA Air, Philippine Airlines, and Scoot.

Because this domestic flight is not always available at all times, it would be preferable for you to book and make sure of the date available ahead of time. Most of the time there would be some airlines available but the service would commonly include one transit which would take around half a day or a whole day. But it would be a perfect chance for those of you who would like to visit another city or country before arriving in Guangzhou.

Some of the transit might direct you into a vibrant city like Singapore or Manila, and so during your transit, you might get a glimpse of the nation beforehand, or even do various activities and enjoy numerous attractions during your transit period.

By Train

Considered to be the fastest and most convenient way to travel between Guangzhou to Macau, taking the high-speed train from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Zhuhai North Railway Station for only around 1 hour.

After you arrive at Zhuhai North Station, you can either take a taxi or rideshare service to the Gongbei Port for around 15 minutes which is especially recommended for those of you who brought quite a luggage.

The other option that you can take after your arrival at Zhuhai North Station is to take the Zhuhai Tram Line 1 from Zhuhai North Station to Gongbei Port for around 40 minutes. This option is for those of you who are budget-conscious with a much less expensive way to get around.

By Bus

Another budget-friendly option is by taking the bus from Guangzhou Provincial Bus Station to Zhuhai Gongbei Bus Station which runs throughout the day for every 30 minutes to 1 hour. The Travel time would take around 2.5 hours to 4 hours depending on the traffic conditions.
