Frequently asked questions about hostels in Taiwan
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Taiwan?
For budget-conscious travellers, exploring Taiwan's natural beauty is a fantastic option. Hiking trails like those in Taroko Gorge National Park offer stunning scenery without hefty entrance fees. Many night markets, such as Shilin Night Market in Taipei or Fengjia Night Market in Taichung, provide cheap and delicious eats and vibrant cultural experiences. Temples, like Longshan Temple in Taipei, are usually free to enter and offer a glimpse into Taiwanese culture and history. Finally, cycling along the many scenic routes, particularly around Sun Moon Lake, is a cost-effective way to see the island.
Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Taiwan?
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) near Taipei and Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) in southern Taiwan handle the majority of international flights. TPE is significantly larger and serves as the main gateway for most international travellers.
Driving in Taiwan can be challenging for visitors due to narrow roads, dense traffic, especially in cities like Taipei, and a prevalence of scooters. Public transportation, including an extensive high-speed rail network and a comprehensive bus system, is generally efficient and reliable, making it a much easier and often quicker way to get around.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Taiwan?
How can travellers best respect local customs while in Taiwan?
Showing respect for elders is crucial; offering your seat on public transport is a common courtesy. Queuing is generally observed, though it can be less formal in some situations. Using chopsticks correctly is appreciated, and being mindful of noise levels, particularly in temples and quieter areas, is important. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases is also a thoughtful gesture.
Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Taiwan?
Lunar New Year is the most significant, with vibrant celebrations and family gatherings. The Double Ten Day (National Day) on 10 October commemorates the Xinhai Revolution. Other important festivals include the Lantern Festival, marking the end of Lunar New Year, and the Ghost Festival, a time for honouring ancestors.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Taiwan?
A week allows for a good exploration. One itinerary could combine Taipei city, with its historical sites and modern attractions, followed by a trip to the scenic Taroko Gorge National Park and perhaps a relaxing few days around Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Taiwan?
For a weekend, focusing on a specific region is best. Taipei offers a packed itinerary of temples, museums, and night markets. Alternatively, a weekend trip to Jiufen and Shifen offers a charming old town experience and the chance to release sky lanterns.
Are there specific regions in Taiwan known for great weather?
Southern Taiwan generally enjoys warmer temperatures year-round, making it a good choice for sun-seekers. However, Taiwan's weather can be unpredictable, so checking forecasts before travelling is always advisable. Central Taiwan around Sun Moon Lake can offer pleasant temperatures, especially during spring and autumn.
