  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Taiwan?

    Navigating Taiwan's roads can be challenging, especially in larger cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung. Traffic can be heavy, and driving etiquette differs from some Western countries. Public transportation, including the extensive high-speed rail network and MRT systems in major cities, is generally efficient and reliable, making it a preferable option for many visitors.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Taiwan?

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Taiwan?

    Respectful behaviour in Taiwan includes being mindful of noise levels, especially in temples and residential areas. Queuing is generally observed. Removing shoes before entering homes and some temples is customary. Using chopsticks correctly is appreciated, and it's polite to leave a small amount of food on your plate to indicate you're full. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases is also a thoughtful gesture.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Taiwan?

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Taiwan?

    The Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, is a spectacular event with vibrant lantern displays across the country. The Double Ten Day (National Day) on 10 October celebrates the founding of the Republic of China. Lunar New Year itself is a major celebration, with family gatherings and traditional customs. Many local temples also host smaller, more localised festivals throughout the year.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Taiwan?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Taiwan?

    For medical emergencies, dial 119. For police emergencies, dial 110. These numbers are readily available and widely known.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Taiwan?

    A week allows for a good exploration. A possible itinerary could include Taipei (exploring its temples, museums and night markets), a high-speed rail trip to Taichung (visiting Sun Moon Lake and exploring the city), and then heading east to Taroko Gorge National Park for its stunning natural scenery. This offers a mix of city and nature.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Taiwan?

    For a weekend, focus on a specific area. Taipei offers a packed itinerary with its numerous attractions. Alternatively, a trip to Jiufen and Shifen (known for its old streets and sky lanterns) provides a charming and less hectic experience, easily accessible from Taipei.
  • Are there specific regions in Taiwan known for great weather?

    Southern Taiwan generally enjoys warmer, sunnier weather year-round compared to the north. However, Taiwan's weather can be unpredictable, with typhoons occasionally affecting the island, particularly during the summer and autumn months. Checking weather forecasts before travelling is always recommended.
