I lived a couple of years in South Korea, and have now lived in China for 2 years, and have visited lots of other Asian countries. Korea is VERY different from China, India is very very different from both, and lets not even talk about Turkmenistan, Indonesia or Bhutan.
I think the Tour de Korea might let you know something about touring in Korea, and some of that might even apply to Japan, but dont expect that to be of much help in China.
