Hong Kong to Macau in 1 Minute - Turbojet Ride Time Lapse

TurboJET is the brand name for the operations of the Hong Kong-headquartered Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management Limited, which was established from the joint venture between Shun Tak Holdings Limited and China Travel International Investment Hong Kong Limited in July 1999. It operates hydrofoil ferry services in southern China.

It acquired First Ferry (Macau) from New World First Ferry in August 2011.

Shun Tak and China Travel had their own separate ferry business brands before merging as TurboJET, on 1 July 1999. They were Far East Jetfoil by Shun Tak, and Turbo Cat by CTS Parkview Company Ltd.





Hong Kong (香港; Fragrant Harbour), officially known as Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is a city[9] located on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea.[10] Hong Kong is well known for its expansive skyline, deep natural harbour and extreme population density (some seven million inhabitants over a land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi)).[11] The current population of Hong Kong comprises 93.6% ethnic Chinese.[5] A major part of Hong Kong's Cantonese-speaking majority originated from the neighbouring Guangdong province,[12] from where many fled during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Civil War, and the communist rule in China.[13][14][15][16] It was also named the freest market economy by the Heritage Foundation Index of Economic Freedom.[17]



Macau (/məˈkaʊ/; traditional Chinese: 澳門; simplified Chinese: 澳门; Jyutping: ou3mun4*2; pinyin: Àomén), also spelled Macao, is one of the two Special Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China, the other being Hong Kong. Macau lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta across from Hong Kong, which is about 64 kilometers to the east, and it is also bordered by Guangdong Province to the north and the South China Sea to the east and south.[8] With an estimated population of around 636,200 living in an area of 30.3 km2 (11.6 sq mi), it is the most densely populated region in the world.[9]
A former Portuguese colony, Macau was administered by Portugal from the mid-16th century until late 1999, when it was the last remaining European colony in Asia.[10][11] Portuguese traders first settled in Macau in the 1550s. In 1557, Macau was rented to Portugal by the Ming Dynasty as a trading port. The Portuguese administered the city under Chinese authority and sovereignty until 1887, when Macau became a colony of the Portuguese Empire. Sovereignty over Macau was transferred back to China on 20 December 1999. The Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Macau stipulate that Macau operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2049, fifty years after the transfer.[12]

Under the policy of one country, two systems, the PRC's Central People's Government is responsible for the territory's defense and foreign affairs, while Macau maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, and immigration policy. Macau participates in many international organizations and events that do not require members to possess national sovereignty.[12][13]

Macau is one of the world's richest cities, and as of 2013 its GDP per capita by purchasing power parity is higher than that of any country in the world, according to the World Bank.[14][15] It became the world's largest gambling centre in 2006,[16] with the economy heavily dependent on gambling and tourism, as well as manufacturing. Cantonese people from Hong Kong and Guangdong, in addition to the recent mainland tourism from Mandarin-speaking regions, have boosted the economy of Macau significantly. According to The World Factbook, Macau has the second highest life expectancy in the world.[17] Moreover, it is one of only a few regions in Asia with a very high Human Development Index, ranking 25th as of 2011.[18]

Ferry crossing Helsinki to Tallinn: Linda Line high-speed ferry trip review

IMPORTANT: Linda Line filed for bankruptcy in May 2018.

This travel review is dedicated to Linda Lines Express' ferry service. I had the opportunity to try this service as part of a trip to Helsinki (Finland) and Tallinn (Estonia) in July/August 2017.

For those of you following this channel regularly, you might be surprised to see a report dedicated to a ferry service. This is not a departure from my flight reviews: I do like to combine modes of transport as part of a trip (on this occasion flight LHR HEL, then ferry to Tallinn, then flight TLL-HEL followed by HEL to LHR).

Ferry service to Tallinn was operated by Karolin, a high-speed catamaran. For my needs, Linda Line delivered as expected. It was on time, easy boarding, timely crossing, although basic the interior of the ship was functional and comfortable enough for a short crossing (just 100 minutes).

Be aware: This service can be affected by adverse weather conditions (with delays or cancellations) so if you are on a tight schedule, alternative ferry services could be a better alternative. (or check how your travel insurance may cover any additional expenses).

Good experience overall and resolutely value for money
