The president said on Twitter the tour was designed to address "essential issues for our country, fundamentally related to the electric power sector."
Cuba, already under US sanctions for more than six decades, has energy sector-related agreements with the four host countries which Diaz-Canel said had extended "official invitations" for his visit.
Cuba gets oil from Algeria and Russia as well as Venezuela, its main supplier, while several of the island nation's power plants rely on Soviet or Russian technology.
China is Cuba's second-largest trading partner after Venezuela, and a key communist ally.
A Turkish company, meanwhile, is leasing Cuba seven floating electricity generators, the latest of which arrived at the port of Havana on Tuesday.
Diaz-Canel will be accompanied by his foreign, finance and trade ministers for the visit ending on November 27.
"We will be working hard to strengthen economic and political ties that allow us to continue promoting the development of #Cuba," said the president.
