A few hotels, mostly hostels. The hostels are super nice, most of the ones outside of Taipei might only have one or two (or zero) other people in the room. Usually Taiwanese people. So they're very nice for getting a good, very comfy sleep, with speedy wifi ofc, but not great for meeting other foreign solo traveler types.
I was about to ask this too. Thanks for the reply. I marked a lot of these places down to hopefully visit someday. Can I ask how is getting around out there with out a car? Is public transportation good? is Taiwan in general expensive?
Taiwan is super cheap to travel through. Night markets and street food are generally ridiculously delicious and safe. Car ownership is low in Taiwan, most people get by through the metro and the high speed rail which runs down the entire country. Taxis are super easy to hail if you want it, especially in the cities. They're everywhere and only a few bucks.
I'd recommend getting a local SIM there since internet is crazy cheap and fast, rather than roaming.
Meter.
And personally I’ve never run into anyone trying to trick me or use a fake meter. The societal living standard is pretty high and scams are generally low. It’s kind of like Singapore in that way.
If you look into traveling in Taiwan there’s a pretty standard tourist trail - My route was Taipei, Hualien/Taroko Gorge, Chishang, Kenting, Xiaoliuqiu Island, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, and back to Taipei. Lots of day trip options from Taipei as well
Beautiful photos! I'm going to Taiwan this summer for 10 days (July, I know it will be hot and humid) and I'm completely overwhelmed by how much there is to do and see. Impossible choices!!
