Zone Two: Inner Harbor At the west of the peninsula, the Inner Harbor is Macau’s historic port. It has taken on a distinctive rectilinear form as a consequence of incremental land reclamations. Abutting the harbor is the Macau-Zhuhai Cross-Border Industrial Zone. The border crossing here consists of six gates dedicated to industrial traffic serving manufacturers on both sides of Canal dos Patos.

Zone Three: Chinatown Piers This straight portion of coast just south of the Inner Harbor consists of a series of fishing piers numbered 1 to 34. The border is defined by the Wanzaizhen River, consistent in width for much of its length. Macau’s Inner Harbor Ferry Terminal, located at Pier 14, processes 1.4 million passengers annually through its border checkpoint. Ferries depart every half hour between 8:15 am and 4:30 pm.
