You can certainly go to Hong Kong without worrying about any more Covid related restrictions. In fact, it may soon be possible (if not already) to get on a coach to cross the bridge as soon as you arrive without even clearing immigration when you arrive at Hong Kong.
Wow!! I love that bridge and can't wait until July 1st to travel it, this video is a keeper the same as the night video of crossing this beautiful bridge. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks. I decided it is finally time to share the footage of the entire bus ride, having made that guide on how to take the bus. I must also take the time to get on a double decker bus and record the footage from the upper deck as well. Just to give you a head's up, the next video I upload will show quite a lot of attractions around Macau, so please be sure to check back.
@@millvee1005 Most definitely. The climate of Macau is basically the same as Hong Kong, where temperatures are around 30C or 86F in the summer. Better get a lot of short sleeve shirts and a bottle of sunscreen ready!
i am so impress with this long bridge that shortened the travel time fr.hk to macao. i experienced in yr 2000 going to macao fr.hk by boat.it took 2hrs plus that boat ride suck.i almost vomit because of the way the jet moved.this is a very will thought mega project.what part of hk this bridge start.is it in tsingyi island or lantao.because ived seen some parts of the construction close to tsing yi.
Sorry to hear that. Yes, the ferry is quite fast but can bob up and down quite a bit when the sea is rough. Another good thing about the bridge is that the shuttle buses operate 24 hours.
@@kylohk I was on the buses on a return journey to Macau on 6th of March (last week). Scenic route. Same bus service as shown in your video. Went through the immigration checkpoints at each end.
@@angelswings7024 That's good to hear. It is always good to step away from all that artificial glamour of the casinos and experience the local culture.
The Hong Kong checkpoint is entirely step free and all departure facilities are located on the same level so you do not have to take a lift to go up and down. There is a space of at least one wheelchair in the double decker buses, to my understanding. Meanwhile, you need to take several lifts up and down to clear immigration at the Macau checkpoint.
@@kylohk do u think HK or MO will ever half to switch to right-hand traffic? I'd assume it's too expensive so it will likely stay as is. Macau is a lot smaller tho, so switching for them could be a loteasier than Hong Kong.
That may actually be a good idea. I had to hold the action camera in my right hand throughout the entire ride and take a lot of effort to keep it as steady as possible despite the rocking motion of the bus. You could not imagine how stiff my arm was by the time I have finished! But then again, I remembered someone may have been sitting to my right, so I would not want to get into trouble, that's for sure!
The speed of this coach is limited to a maximum of 80 km/h during the entire journey and in the mainland section only (the speed limit is 70 km/h in the Hong Kong section). So you can effectively cross the bridge at a maximum speed of 160 km/h when you double the playback speed!
At a bare minimum, you will need 2 licenses plates on your car, a Hong Kong one and a Mainland China one. On the Hong Kong side, you will need a permit to drive into the restricted area where the vehicle checkpoint is located. You will obviously need to have bought car insurance valid in both Hong Kong and the Mainland. It gets even more complicated if you would like to drive to Macau. If you are happy with parking your car at the Park and Ride facility at the Macau border checkpoint, you only need to buy car insurance valid in Macau and book the required time slot(s) at the car park. However, if you would like to drive around Macau, you will need a Macau license plate which is very hard to get.
I have made a video of my and my relatives crossing the bridge by car: th-cam.com/video/LB2mwmSDl6/w-d-xo.html It took us nearly 29 minutes to go from the Hong Kong border checkpoint to the toll plaza past the Zhuhai end of the bridge. The total length of the route is around 55km.
I miss going to macau riding bus via this longest bridge new friend
Same here. I also miss going back to Hong Kong!
This very good journey from Macau to hongkong nice bus thank you for great sharing
I hope now can normal like before go to hongkong

@@kylohk Many thanks again I will certainly be tuning in.
@@millvee1005 Things are really looking up in Macau. All casinos will reopen by this Thursday for instance.
@@kylohk Does it get hot there in July?
@@millvee1005 Most definitely. The climate of Macau is basically the same as Hong Kong, where temperatures are around 30C or 86F in the summer. Better get a lot of short sleeve shirts and a bottle of sunscreen ready!

One of the best rides in my recent memory
I see. When did you take this bus?
@@kylohk I was on the buses on a return journey to Macau on 6th of March (last week). Scenic route. Same bus service as shown in your video. Went through the immigration checkpoints at each end.
@@angelswings7024 That's great. Hope you had a good day in Macau. What is Macau like now? Are there any new attractions that I am not aware of?
@@kylohk I heard about the Macau Tower Zipline ride, but my uncle and I didn't go there. We just toured the local streets of Taipa.
@@angelswings7024 That's good to hear. It is always good to step away from all that artificial glamour of the casinos and experience the local culture.
well done. congratulations
I had to hold the action camera in my hand the whole way, so the effort better be worth it!
The road looks pretty ''BUSY"!
That's China for you! Building a RHT road when 2/3 connections are LHT!
But then again, the section under Mainland jurisdiction is the longest, hence every other sections will have to be RHT to accommodate that.
Wow incredible...
you are the man
I was been there to ride the bus Hong Kong to Macau from 2019.
Is this bridge tunnel on driving games?
thanks
great video
Hi a quick question is there save to travel with elderly and with they're wheelchair and thanks for u answer ?

I'm wondering if in Hong Kong they are still driving for the left side.
Yes, same for Macau even after being handed over back to China.
@@kylohk do u think HK or MO will ever half to switch to right-hand traffic? I'd assume it's too expensive so it will likely stay as is. Macau is a lot smaller tho, so switching for them could be a loteasier than Hong Kong.
@@thegreypenguin5097 Hong Kong will never switch, it'll cost millions just to change the infrastructure and that too for such a trivial thing.
Remember you guys may travel in China by car. The traffic laws rule that swtiching tracks in the tunnel is not permitted.
It feels even higher since the camera is standing pov and from bus 😅
The thing with these coaches is that the passengers are always seated at a slightly raised position compared to in a car.
Not bad, but you could have turned the camera sideways at times; the view of the bay and its surroundings must be amazing.
That may actually be a good idea. I had to hold the action camera in my right hand throughout the entire ride and take a lot of effort to keep it as steady as possible despite the rocking motion of the bus.

There should be a bridge like this in Europe
there's the disappearing road of Denmark. Also underwater.
@@user-kx6fw8ub9g Disappearing road? What's that?
@@kylohk I think they mean it goes from a bridge down into a tunnel under water, maybe?
I work very hard on this project ladys but iT is finish
very nice
2x playback speed for more experience

You are going to Hong Kong from Macau
Nope, the other way round.
I wish to drive bus on this road 😊
I remember certain car hire companies allow you to hire cars that can be driven into Macau or even the mainland via this bridge.
How they build undersea tunnel? Any construction video available
It is a tube box made of steel before it is sank into the water.
search for the documentary in building this bridge.
My fellow Filipinos are talking in the background haha.
What kind of permits are needed to use the bridge regularly?
At a bare minimum, you will need 2 licenses plates on your car, a Hong Kong one and a Mainland China one. On the Hong Kong side, you will need a permit to drive into the restricted area where the vehicle checkpoint is located. You will obviously need to have bought car insurance valid in both Hong Kong and the Mainland. It gets even more complicated if you would like to drive to Macau.

However, if you would like to drive around Macau, you will need a Macau license plate which is very hard to get.
@@kylohk Basically it’s useless for most personal vehicles lol
@@ericleeSupSayK Tell me about it! Being able to drive your own car to and from Hong Kong to the mainland is still a luxury these days.
How long is the drive over water? Distance and minutes?

A full journey video will be appreciated leh!!
Similar to this one:

Is this the usual amount of traffic?
Yes, that is more or less the usual amount.
How come there's no one else on the road?
It is very difficult for the average driver to use the bridge, given the license plates, insurance and permits required to use it.
@Dean Steenkamp Yeah like barely anyone uses it

Are Borders Control between those 2 Countries?
There are border controls between Hong Kong, Macau, which are special administrative regions of China, and the Mainland.
It just like amsr 😂
