How safe is Taiwan?

No need to worry about rob and attack on the road, but people here are strangely hospitable sometimes and doing strange move in public. The biggest threat here is war threaten from China. Sexual concept still in the step of stereotypes which makes girls like me feel angry and upset, but here's merely physically insult for sure.

Except for a few very small areas in the city, this is one of the safest places I've been to in the world. Walking around after dark, I feel much safer than in any North American city, whether I'm in the street or in public transport.

Lost wallet will come back to you. People more likely to talk to you to help you rather than to bother you. Very little homeless, you would only spot some in cities, but they are busy focusing on their lives rather than going out of their way to speak to a foreigner. Oh and amazing food

I used to go out wondering in the street after midnight alone, and nothing bad ever happened to me. I am not worried about being robbed at all, can leave my stuff on the table at the restaurant or McDonald's if I want to go to the toilet.

Taichung is generally very safe. walking around alone at night is safe. sometimes I see other people still exercising even at 10pm. but avoid parks in the evening as sometimes creeps can frequent parks.

Very safe for a woman alone. Even at night. People hardly speak English but are very tourist friendly. I was not scared at all regarding safety (public transport, street, at night, …). I travelled the whole country and it is safe everywhere

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!!
