Taipei and New Taipei City are both very safe for women! 🩷🫶🏻 (and for men) I’ve been living here my whole life and I could walk alone at 3am in the morning, knowing I’m gonna be safe without looking back. The streetlights are always on maybe this is one of the reason why I feel safe. Even though city people are busy and hustling people are kind if you have any questions.

Very safe city, a lot of safe and easy to use public transportation. I often go out at night from 9 to midnight by myself and although the path I use has no people in it at the time, I feel safe. No city or area exempt of sexual predators or others, always be careful and aware of your surroundings despite being at a safe area.

Super safe in Taiwan. If you lost your belongings, you can probably find it in police offices. People use their MacBook to save a seat in Starbucks, it will not be stolen. People are friendly, seldom criminals happen.

You can walk on the streets in midnight. There are a lots convenient stores opening 24/7. It's easy to find something to eat and people. It's also open to dress with any styles. Although people might stare but that's it.
