❓ Frequently Asked Questions

The official currency is the Macanese Pataca (MOP). However, Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) are widely accepted at a 1:1 ratio (though change will often be given in MOP). It's best to have some smaller denominations of HKD or MOP for buses and small purchases.
This depends on your nationality. Many nationalities (including those eligible for visa-free entry to Hong Kong) can enter Macau visa-free for periods ranging from 14 to 90 days. Always check the latest visa requirements for your specific nationality with the Consulate General of China or the Macau Public Security Police Force before your trip.
Macau Peninsula's Historic Centre is best explored on foot. For longer distances, public buses are efficient and inexpensive (MOP 6 per ride, no change given, so prepare exact fare or use a Macau Pass/HK Octopus if applicable). Many casinos also offer free shuttle buses to/from the ferry/port terminals and between their properties.
The name 'Mavau' is not a commonly recognized tourist destination for a day trip from Hong Kong, especially not by bus in a way that allows for a detailed, realistic itinerary and budget based on established tourist information. This plan assumes 'Mavau' was a misspelling or phonetic approximation of 'Macau', which is a popular and well-documented day trip destination from Hong Kong by bus (via HKZMB).
