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/border control website before departure for the latest regulations and ensure the passport has sufficient validity.

What are the local transport and mobility options?

Destinations typically have well-developed public transport networks, including underground/metro, buses, and taxi services. Purchasing stored-value transport cards (such as Macau Bus Card, Hong Kong Octopus, Taiwan EasyCard) can make using public transport convenient.

What currency is used locally?

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.

What are the must-try local specialities?

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

What cultural etiquette should I be aware of when travelling?

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 observed in restaurants and public places, such as bowing when entering temples and removing shoes indoors.
