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.

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.

People are very friendly here, they are willing to help travelers. Taiwan is incredibly safe; you can often see people leaving their phones or wallets on tables to reserve seats in cafes without worrying about them being stolen. There is no need to worry about being mugged or pickpocketed. The density of surveillance cameras and the high level of social trust make it a very secure place. Even as a solo traveler, I feel completely at ease walking around at any time of the day or night.

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.
