Hello @aky.mtl! Here are some tips for your Hong Kong and Macau trip that go beyond the basics and add a local flavor! :blush:

Logistics:

  • Visa Needs: Indian passport holders can stay visa-free in Hong Kong for 14 days and in Macau for 30 days. It’s always good to double-check any recent changes on the respective immigration sites.

  • Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge: Buses run frequently, but ferry options are limited now. Combined transit tickets are a smooth way to travel if you’re doing both cities.

  • Octopus Card :credit_card:: Super useful in Hong Kong for transport, small purchases, and even discounts. Grab it at the airport for convenience.

  • MTR App: Download for easy public transit routes and real-time updates!
