East Asia is generally considered safe for travellers, with low crime rates in many areas. We always recommend taking precaution no matter where you are travelling, be aware of your surroundings and do your research. We also believe it is very important to remain respectful to locals and their cultures at all times to have the most fun on your trip. The best way to travel in complete safety is to join a group tour – that way you’ll never be alone, and will have an epic and experienced guide leading the way.
The best time to visit East Asia depends on the specific country and region you plan to explore. Generally, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer mild weather and vibrant scenery. This makes them popular seasons for travel. However, each country experiences different climatic patterns, so it’s essential to research the specific destinations you plan to visit.
East Asia is home to numerous iconic landmarks and attractions. Think the Great Wall of China, the temples of Kyoto, and the skyscrapers of Seoul. Other must-see destinations may include the cherry blossoms of Japan in spring and the natural wonders of Jeju Island in South Korea.
English proficiency levels vary across East Asia, with major cities typically having more English speakers than rural areas. We recommend learning a few basic phrases in the local language, such as greetings and essential directions. This will enhance your travel experience and help you communicate with locals.
Each country in East Asia has its own set of cultural customs and etiquette norms. For example, it’s customary to bow as a sign of respect in Japan and South Korea. In China, exchanging business cards with two hands is considered polite. Familiarising yourself with these customs before your trip can help you navigate social interactions with ease.
