What are the top sights to visit in Taiwan?

Taiwan offers a fantastic range of sights! For natural beauty, you've got Taroko Gorge, with its marble cliffs and hiking trails, and Sun Moon Lake, a stunning lake surrounded by mountains. In terms of city exploration, Taipei 101, once the world's tallest building, is a must-see, along with the National Palace Museum, housing an incredible collection of Chinese art and artefacts. Don't forget the vibrant night markets, like Shilin Night Market, for a taste of local life.

Are there any major international airports in Taiwan?

Yes, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is the main international airport, serving most international flights. There's also smaller airports, but TPE is the major hub for international travellers.

What currency is used in Taiwan, and are ATMs easily accessible?

The New Taiwan dollar (TWD) is the currency. ATMs are incredibly common and readily available throughout the country, even in smaller towns and villages. Most accept international cards.

Is it practical to drive in Taiwan?

Driving in Taiwan can be challenging for visitors, due to the mountainous terrain and sometimes congested city streets. Public transport, including the high-speed rail and extensive bus networks, is generally efficient and a more convenient option for tourists.

Are there any local etiquette rules to follow in Taiwan?

Taiwanese culture values politeness and respect. Using both hands when giving or receiving something is a sign of respect. Queuing is generally observed, and it's considered polite to remove your shoes when entering someone's home or some temples. Being mindful of noise levels in public spaces is also appreciated.

Which cultural festivals are must-sees in Taiwan?

The Lantern Festival, usually held in February or March, is a spectacular event with dazzling lantern displays. The Double Ten Day (National Day) on 10 October features parades and celebrations. Many local temples also hold vibrant festivals throughout the year, often with unique traditions and processions.

What are the best areas to spend a week in Taiwan?

A week allows for a good mix of city and nature. You could spend a few days exploring Taipei, then head south to Sun Moon Lake and perhaps Taroko Gorge for some stunning scenery. Allowing time for travel between locations is key.

Where are the best spots to enjoy a weekend in Taiwan?

For a weekend, focusing on one area is best. Taipei offers plenty to see and do, with its museums, night markets, and temples. Alternatively, a weekend trip to Jiufen, a charming mountain town with tea houses and stunning coastal views, is a popular choice.

What are the critical emergency numbers for medical help or security alerts in Taiwan?

For medical emergencies, dial 119. For police or security concerns, dial 110.
