Taiwan
I felt really safe in Taipei, the weather was nice, and the food was delicious. I stayed at WoW Hostel in Ximending, it was cheap and the beds were good, with curtains and a lockers. It was sometimes a bit noisy but it is normal is this neither, I didn't mind. Staff was friendly too. Taipei is really great for museums and culture ! I loved it
Posted: December 13, 2024Experienced: October, 2024I recommend staying in Taipei for a couple days! My biggest recommendation is tot ur Taiwanese breakfast! Fan Tuan is a breakfast food in Taiwan and it’s basically a rice ball with stuff in it. It’s super cheap at around 40 twd :)
Posted: October 2, 2024It is safe and lively, it has well organized and highly developed public transportations and infrastructure. People are friendly, so many fun activities can do. Food are tasty, weather is nice during the spring.
Posted: April 23, 2024Experienced: March, 2024I was in Taipei for 3 days. The weather was a bit gloomy during Chinese New Year. We move around with MRT, bus and local train. The service is top notch. On time, cheap and clean. Food is average for me. It's People are polite and helpful if you try to communicate effectively. Taipei is the most safest city especially for solo female traveller. You can walk the street without so much worries. Accept the scooters. They are a bit reckless. I went with a group but will do it solo next time.
Posted: March 31, 2024Experienced: January, 2024Very safe city, clean, easy to get around, people are very friendly. Amazing food (nightmarkets!), Elephant mountain for great views of Taipei 101, Yangmingshan sunset and night views. Beitou hot springs, Tamsui, and daytrip to Jiufen and Pingxi are worthwhile

Taipei is quite a safe city for travelers. Pickpocket is rare. Even when you are walking alone at midnight, you don't have to worry about to be robbered. People only need to beware of traffic situation when crossing the streets, cause vehicles pass fast.
Posted: February 2, 2025It's one of the safest cities in the world, I didn't experience catcalling more than 2-3 times in 5 months. Overall, it's really safe for women. Men are more respectful than many other places. However if you're alone or going to a club etc. you should always remember the rules to protect yourself.

Hi folks, I’m from Taiwan. I know, a bit far and tiny, but we are strong people and live within beautiful mountains and surrounded by amazing heart-warming human beings. I tend to discover the unknown areas. Talk with locals, spend some time together. I like wasting time in exploring. I’m obsessed with beautiful stories.

If you are ever in Leipzig I would also love to show you the city. In the past I have lived and traveled through South America and right now am planning a trip to Taiwan and Japan. In Leipzig I study architecture. I love art and going to museums but am also quite addicted to physical activity and spending time outside. I boulder and play soccer and love to go on long hikes. I look forward to meeting you :)
