Day 2

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom

A full day on Hengqin Island at the marine park that opened in March 2014 — its whale-shark tank carried Guinness aquarium records at the debut; coasters early, parade last.

Day 3

Bridge, museum & Beishan

Morning at Haitian Park for the 55-kilometre Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, opened in October 2018 and closed to pedestrians; then the waterfront museum and Beishan's ancestral halls turned cafe lanes.

Qi'ao Island

Across the bridge to Qi'ao — boardwalks through the mangrove reserve in the morning, then the village's White Stone Street, tied locally to an 1833 episode of village resistance.

Island morning, bay cruise & Yuanming

An early beach walk and the morning ferry back; late afternoon, the Wanzi cruise traces the Macau skyline and the bridge from the water, and the 1997 New Yuanming Palace keeps its gates open into the evening.

Day 9

Macau — an honest cross-border day

A cross-border day, labelled as such — exit-and-entry formalities at the Gongbei or Hengqin ports (Hengqin runs around the clock); carry your documents and check current permit and visa rules before going.
