Macau-loving New Territories residents have gotten a super belated, but super welcome Christmas gift this month, as the Tuen Mun – Macau ferry route is scheduled to resume on Jan. 28.
News of the route, which was suspended in July 2012, has already excited hundreds of Hongkongers, with netizens commenting excitedly on photos of the ferries over the weekend.
Apple Daily reports that the route will take 40 minutes, with cheapest weekday fares at HKD164, and public holidays/evenings costing between HKD177 to HKD200.
Eight trips to Macau are scheduled per day, with the first ferry departing from Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal at 3.10pm on Jan. 28, and the first return ferry departing from Macau at 4.10pm on the same day.
Hongkongers eager for a taste of those famous Portuguese egg tarts can buy ferry tickets online, at booking offices, or travel agencies.
