In this blog, we will share insider tips for planning a great vacation here. <br>Taiwan is the most friendly country in the world for foreigners and one of the best tourist destinations in the world. Many have called it the best-kept secret in Asia. Taiwan is not usually known as a travel destination, mainly because of PRC China which tries to downplay its existence and the fact that the Taiwan Tourism Bureau does not do a very good job. We will try to make up for that with this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Travel Tips Block -->\n<div style=\"\n    border: 2px solid #4CAF50; \/* Colored frame *\/\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    padding: 15px 20px;\n    margin: 20px 0;\n    background-color: #f9f9f9;\n    font-family: 'Lato', Arial, sans-serif;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n\">\n    <p style=\"\n        margin-top: 0;\n        font-size: 20px;\n        color: #333333;\n        font-weight: 700;\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n    \">\n        \ud83c\udfef Planning your trip to Taiwan? \ud83c\udf0a\n    <\/p>\n    <p style=\"\n        margin: 0 0 10px;\n        font-size: 16px;\n        color: #555555;\n    \">\n        Here are some top travel tips for you:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul style=\"\n        padding-left: 20px;\n        margin: 0;\n        font-size: 17px;\n        color: #444444;\n    \">\n        <li>Best time to visit: <strong>Spring and Autumn<\/strong> when it is not too hot or cold and less rainy<\/li>\n        <li>How to get there: Plane tickets via \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tp.st\/9nxbNBxC\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Trip.com\n<\/a> \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Best places to stay can be found on\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/835TOKSz\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Agoda\n<\/a> \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Book tours and activities in Taiwan on \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/cTOGuXYV\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Klook\n<\/a> \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Stay connected with \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/IF5DuEip\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                a local SIM\n            <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n<li>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/XTaSHrqA\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Rent a car\n            <\/a> \n            to explore distant sights\n        <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id4942_6fc7fe-b2 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id4942_6fc7fe-b2 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id4942_6fc7fe-b2 .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id4942_6fc7fe-b2 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to go:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to go they say is anytime!<br>There is always a part of Taiwan that is great to visit at any given time of year.<br>However, most areas are most comfortable around May when it is not too hot and there are no northeasterly winds or typhoons.<br>\u200bThe typhoon season lasts from around June to October. The tourist busy season is during summer break from June to August, during which time it can be hard to book a hostel or airplane ticket. Winter is the less crowded season, but the water will be colder, there will be constant wind (which could cancel transportation), and it will rain more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to get there:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Plane:<\/strong><br>You can book cheap flights to Taiwan on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/click?shmarker=417346&amp;promo_id=3758&amp;source_type=link&amp;type=click&amp;campaign_id=121&amp;trs=215740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trip.com<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tp.media\/r?marker=417346&amp;trs=215740&amp;p=4426&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fcheapoair.com&amp;campaign_id=146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CheapO Air<\/a>.&nbsp;You can also search for cheap flights in Taiwan&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwi.com\/en\/search\/results\/los-angeles-international-los-angeles-california-united-states\/taipei-taiwan\/anytime\/anytime\/?lang=en&amp;currency=eur&amp;user_id=dd2e4631-6fed-46f6-a50c-3b8ccc08e025&amp;affilid=trentjacksonforeigners&amp;returnFromDifferentAirport=false&amp;returnToDifferentAirport=false&amp;session_token=X%2Bgiw2RU%2Fhin7Q%2FmuoZUSyouS6qT%2FN529eYk6f8YpEUEAYSt3WFNXjPCf9LzMiARSpgDEst2Cculpbsr7g7cbmLe7wKWRNN1Do8m8x2SMKlWaRb92b8VHtYW1GG7FGGXkUaqZU8seOT4oiylLoNkHw%3D%3D&amp;session_identifier=YbBk9Zoa8kzQyPJPaEDvG9ds5%2Bazz9t8vsNCU5jE5sg%3D&amp;deeplinkId=28697941233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwi.com\/en\/search\/results\/los-angeles-international-los-angeles-california-united-states\/taipei-taiwan\/anytime\/anytime\/?lang=en&amp;currency=eur&amp;user_id=dd2e4631-6fed-46f6-a50c-3b8ccc08e025&amp;affilid=trentjacksonforeigners&amp;returnFromDifferentAirport=false&amp;returnToDifferentAirport=false&amp;session_token=X%2Bgiw2RU%2Fhin7Q%2FmuoZUSyouS6qT%2FN529eYk6f8YpEUEAYSt3WFNXjPCf9LzMiARSpgDEst2Cculpbsr7g7cbmLe7wKWRNN1Do8m8x2SMKlWaRb92b8VHtYW1GG7FGGXkUaqZU8seOT4oiylLoNkHw%3D%3D&amp;session_identifier=YbBk9Zoa8kzQyPJPaEDvG9ds5%2Bazz9t8vsNCU5jE5sg%3D&amp;deeplinkId=28697941233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<br>You can also book discount tickets for domestic flights within Taiwan on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kkday.com\/en\/product\/12195?cid=9223\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KKday here<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><strong>By Boat:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>There is a ferry boat between Kinmen and Xiamen, China.
