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

The destination usually has a well-developed public transport network, including underground, bus 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 markets and small shops primarily use cash.

Each place has a rich food 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, xiaolongbao 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, ask for permission before taking photographs, and do not speak loudly. In Japan, specific etiquette at restaurants and public places must be observed, such as bowing at temples and removing shoes before entering indoor spaces.
