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!!

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 generally very safe and it’s not a problem to walk around most neighborhoods at night at all. However, places like bars and clubs can be a bit messy and there have been cases of people getting roofied. I guess in general I’d recommend people to relax and enjoy Taipei however you like. Crime rates are relatively low as well. But still people, especially and unfortunately women, need to be wary when they’re in a place involving alcohol.

Taipei's super safe!! I've walked around until dawn a few times alone in the streets, felt completely fine. Men here aren't too threatening, some are a bit annoying but I've normally never worried they would physically attack me. Of course take note of the area you're in, but Da'an (Da'An Forest Park is super nice) and Xinyi are pretty safe.

Hello Nice to meet you. My name is Rongrong.(容容) I am a rather introverted traveler, but I strive to learn and engage in diverse interactions. I am from Taiwan, and I currently working holiday in CANADA. I stayed in Japan for two and a half years and did various jobs, such as being a waiter, working on a ranch, various farms, and doing work-exchange stays. When I travel, I usually do things I enjoy—sometimes just taking a walk, having a cup of coffee, or visiting an art museum. Last year, I started traveling with Workaway, and this year, I began trying Couchsurfing for a different experience.

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.
