Most countries' travellers can enter without a visa, with specific requirements depending on passport nationality. It is recommended to check the destination's official immigration/entry website before departure to confirm the latest regulations and ensure the passport has sufficient validity.

The destination typically has a well-developed public transport network, including underground (tube/metro), buses, and taxi services. Purchasing stored-value transport cards (such as the Macau Bus Card, Hong Kong Octopus Card, or Taiwan EasyCard) can make travelling on public transport convenient.

Each region uses its local legal tender. Macau uses the Macau Pataca (MOP), Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Taiwan uses the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), and Japan uses the Japanese Yen (JPY). Major shopping centres and hotels generally accept credit cards, while markets and small shops primarily use cash.

Each region has a rich food culture. Macau has Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns, and Macanese cuisine; Hong Kong has dim sum, roast meats, and cart noodles; Taiwan has bubble tea, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), and night market delicacies; Japan has sushi, ramen, and tempura.

Respecting local cultural customs is a basic requirement for civilised tourism. Dress conservatively at religious sites, seek permission before taking photographs, and avoid speaking loudly. In Japan, specific etiquette must be observed at restaurants and public places, such as bowing when entering temples and removing shoes when entering indoor spaces.
