Taiwan, Couple travel
Very worth going! This is the most respectful country I have ever been to. We did a whole round to the island in roughly two weeks but would recommend even more time to do so. Each area has its own cultural influences. Hiking is a must. Also checkout islands if you have the opportunity. On a side note I am celiac, it wasn't easy but I was able to purchase gluten-free soja sauce and talk my way through the local markets and restaurants. Speaking Chinese will help a lot.

I’d like to preface that I’m a fluent Chinese speaker and I was born and raised in Hong Kong which is very close to Taiwan so we have similar cultures and a lot of mutual influence, so I could be biased. That being said, I think Taiwan should definitely be your next country to visit. To start with safety, I’d say it’s one of the safest countries in the world. I didn’t encounter any harassment or spot any suspicious guy. I heard from many female travellers also share the same enjoyable experience. I guess it has to do with Taiwan being the first Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage and...

Taipei was so much fun, I was very young when I went there however the night markets were so much fun and food was so delicious. I travelled with family so we all stuck together, some things were a bit sketchy but as long as you stick to the brightly lit areas you’re fine.

I travelled to Taiwan, Taipeh with my friends and had the best time ever! The food was the best I had in a long time and for the price it was too good to be true. I felt so safe in Taipeh and never had any issues with feeling uncomfortable. But also around Taipeh I was so impressed by the nature. I highly recommend going there!!

Toured around taiwan, not just taipei. I felt super safe even when strolling around at night! Taiwan is pretty convenient to get around too. The people are nice and the food is pretty nice and inexpensive.

The city is really quiet and nice and people are so sweet. I’m staying during three months. I’m studying at the Chinese university and it’s really nice and people are really welcoming. I really recommend this destination.

You can wandering around the city fearless and people are kind here, we are heart warming and love to helping others. Public transportation is convenient here. If something bad happens you can reach out to the police easily.

Taiwan is one of the safest and friendliest countries in the world. You can walk around at night without worrying too much, and people are always kind and willing to help if you ever get lost or need directions!

I spent 4 days solo travelling in Taipei and felt very safe walking around alone. Public transport is very easy to navigate and the people here are friendly and helpful. I was looking to buy tea (a specific brand for a friend) they suggested some stores where I could go and even showed me different teas to even try. Totally loved the experience here and I would definitely return to explore more.

Many shops stay open until midnight, so the streets are still well-lit and you can find people if you need help. People are hospitality and willing to assist, even if you don’t speak the same language. Basically, you don’t have to worry much about personal safety or belongings. ✨
