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 for the latest regulations, and ensure the passport has sufficient validity.

Destinations typically have well-developed public transport networks, including underground/metro, buses and taxi services. Purchasing stored-value transport cards (such as Macau Bus Card, Hong Kong Octopus, Taiwan EasyCard) can make travelling on public transport convenient.

Each place uses the 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 street markets and small shops primarily deal in cash.

Each place has a rich food culture. Macau has Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns and Macanese cuisine; Hong Kong has dim sum, siu mei and dai pai dong noodles; Taiwan has bubble tea, xiaolongbao and night market delicacies; Japan has sushi, ramen and tempura.

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