I'm flying into Hong Kong late on a Wednesday night and departing Monday morning. That gives me 5 nights, 4 days. I am thinking of 1-2 nights in Macau and at least one full day (because I think I need that to follow some architectural walking tours).

I'm puzzling over whether it is best to do that in the beginning, middle or end of the trip. Factors would be transportation ease (i.e. would it be easier dealing with immigration and transportation if I were going right from the airport to Macau or vice versa, as opposed to going in the middle) and whether anything might be crazier over the weekend (which would drive Macau at the start of the leg.)

Anybody have any insight?
