Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in Taiwan
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?
For budget travelers, exploring Taiwan's night markets is a must. Shilin Night Market in Taipei and Fengjia Night Market in Taichung offer a huge variety of cheap and delicious street food. Hiking in Yangmingshan National Park near Taipei is free and offers stunning volcanic landscapes. Many temples, like Longshan Temple in Taipei, are free to enter and offer a glimpse into Taiwanese culture. Finally, cycling along the Sun Moon Lake area's scenic paths is a relatively inexpensive way to see beautiful scenery.
Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Taiwan?
Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) near Taipei handles the vast majority of international flights. Songshan Airport (TSA), also in Taipei, primarily serves domestic flights and some regional international destinations.
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 system and MRT (metro) networks in major cities, is generally efficient and reliable, offering a much easier way to get around.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Taiwan?
How can travelers best respect local customs while in Taiwan?
Respect for elders is paramount in Taiwanese culture. Queuing politely is expected. Removing your shoes before entering homes and some temples is customary. Being mindful of noise levels, especially in residential areas, is appreciated. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases is always a thoughtful gesture.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Taiwan?
A week allows for a good mix of city and nature. Spend a few days exploring Taipei, including its museums, temples, and night markets. Then, head south to Sun Moon Lake for stunning scenery and hiking, followed by a visit to the ancient city of Tainan for its historical sites and delicious food.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Taiwan?
For a short trip, focus on one area. Taipei offers a packed itinerary with its vibrant city life, numerous attractions, and convenient public transportation. Alternatively, a weekend getaway to Taroko Gorge National Park provides breathtaking natural beauty with opportunities for hiking and scenic views.
Are there specific regions in Taiwan known for great weather?
Southern Taiwan generally enjoys warmer temperatures year-round, although it can be humid. Central and northern Taiwan experience distinct seasons, with pleasant weather in spring and autumn. The best time to visit depends on your preferences, but spring and autumn generally offer the most comfortable temperatures across the island.
