Safety at night:Safe
Miaoli can be generally considered a secure and friendly place for solo female travelers. Safety measures such as staying aware of your surroundings, not carrying expensive items in public view, and not walking through narrow alleys or secluded areas at night, should be followed. Emergency numbers and police are available if needed. However, cultural practices should be observed, such to avoid offending the locals. Public transportation runs late into the night which adds a level of safety for return journeys after dusk, but still use your discretion as a solo traveler.
