FAQ

Do I need a visa to 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/entrance website before travelling to confirm the latest regulations and ensure the passport has sufficient validity.

What are the local transport and travel options?

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

Each place 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 primarily use cash.

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

What cultural etiquette should I observe when travelling?

Respecting local cultural customs is a fundamental 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.
