FAQ

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

Most countries allow visa-free entry for travellers, 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.

What are the local transportation and mobility options?

Destinations usually have well-developed public transport networks, including subway, bus and taxi services. Purchasing stored-value transport cards (such as Macau Bus Card, Hong Kong Octopus, Taiwan EasyCard) can make using public transport more convenient.

What currency is used locally?

Each location 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 malls and hotels generally accept credit cards, while local markets and small shops primarily use cash.

What are the must-try local specialties?

Each region has a rich food culture. Macau has Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns and Macanese cuisine; Hong Kong has dim sum, roast meat and cart noodles; Taiwan has bubble milk tea, xiaolongbao and night market delicacies; Japan has sushi, ramen and tempura.

What cultural etiquette should I observe when travelling?

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