Most countries' travellers can enter visa-free, 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 usually have well-developed public transport networks, including underground, 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 its local legal tender. Macau uses the Pataca (MOP), Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Taiwan uses the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), Japan uses the Yen (JPY). Major shopping centres and hotels generally accept credit cards, while markets and small shops primarily use cash.

Each region has a rich culinary culture. Macau has Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns and Macanese cuisine; Hong Kong has dim sum, char siu and cart noodles; Taiwan has bubble tea, xiao long bao 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 photographing, 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 indoors.
