PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

Day 3 of our trip, We decided to take a ferry to Zhuhai, China from Hong Kong. We made our way to Sheung Wan MTR Station which is connected to Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal. Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal provide ferry services mainly to Macau and also to other cities in Southern China.
We bought our ferry tickets from Chu Kong Passenger Transport Company in the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal. Our ticket for one way costs HK$190 each.
We need to check in at least 15 minutes before the departure time at the East Bridge but we went in much earlier cause was the first time we travelled to Zhuhai via the ferry.
Saw lots of turbojet that goes mainly to Macau. They looked huge and comfortable.
Also spotted a helicopter on the heliport on the top of the ferry terminal. The helicopter shuttles passengers from the terminal to Macau but I guess must be expensive.
Taking ferry to Macau is a breeze cause there were so many ferries going there in short intervals while ferry to Zhuhai is a two hour interval.
Dont seems to be full load for our ferry to Zhuhai.
The blue and white ferry to Zhuhai, did not get a full picture of the ferry.
The ferry is also very huge and could easily takes in more than 200 passengers but the ferry I was on was about less than a 100 passengers.  It was a comfortable ride and the sea calm and took us about 70 minutes to reach Zhuhai, China.
