FAQ

Do I need a visa to travel to Macau/Hong Kong/Taiwan/Japan?

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

What are the local transport and mobility options?

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) makes using public transport convenient.

Each destination 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 prefer cash.

Each destination has a rich culinary culture. Macau has Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns and Macanese cuisine; Hong Kong has dim sum, roasted meats and cart noodles; Taiwan has bubble tea, xiao longbao and night market delights; Japan has sushi, ramen and tempura.

What cultural etiquette should I be aware of when travelling?

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