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 website before travelling to confirm the latest regulations, and ensure the passport validity is sufficient.

Destinations typically have well-developed public transport networks, including underground/metro, bus and taxi services. Purchasing stored-value transport cards (e.g., Macau Bus Card, Hong Kong Octopus, Taiwan EasyCard) makes using 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 food culture. Macau has Portuguese 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 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 avoid speaking loudly. In Japan, specific etiquette must be followed in restaurants and public places, such as bowing when entering temples and removing shoes when going indoors.
