Advantages: Accessible and everything cheap
Disadvantages: More of CD class

After having a day-long tour around Taiwan, we had fun shopping at night time. We went to Huashi Night Market, just near the Longshan Templen MRT station. Gratifying our urge for the midnight snack, we indulged ourselves in roasted cobs with teryaki sauce ... Read review

Advantages: Taipei lifestyle with a more provincial feel
Disadvantages: Hot, muggy, polluted, just like any other city

I've spent a lot of time in Kaohsiung. My grandparents on my mother's side are resident there, as are my Aunt, Uncle, and two little cousins. There's something of a language barrier, but I think we understand each other. At least well enough for them to k ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and beautiful
Disadvantages: Starting to become westernised

Penghu Islands was my first experience of what you would call tropical lifestyle and I loved it! Penghu Islands is relatively untouched by the western world. It does have a McDonalds though, which was handy for me because, to be honest, I'm not really ... Read review

Advantages: Big city
Disadvantages: Big City

Kaohsiung is a great bustling city. Humid as all places in Taiwan. It's a good place to get a bus or train, or plane to somewhere else. Night markets to fill your evenings, and shopping malls for the day (if that rocks your boat?) There are also so ... Read review

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: distance, language

I was afraid of my stay for one-day stopover without prebooking any hotel in Taiwan to Hanoi. I had been arrived early in the morning at 7.30 a.m. and the flight to Hanoi was departing the next day at 7 a.m. The airport, which should close at night, is 50 ... Read review

excellent review. Taiwan's got a lot of good places and great history that could be explored if you could travel around a bit rather than stay in Taipei. by vids

Advantages: Great chinese food
Disadvantages: humid weather

It's a lovely place. Although Taipei is the 8th most expensive living place in the world, but the costs of traffic and food are much cheaper than London, except those five star restaurants and famous western brand clothes in department stores. Lots of 24 ... Read review

Advantages: fun and cheap
Disadvantages: hot and sticky

You'll never feel bored in Taipei as there're so much going on. OK, the weather could be sticky and hot but you could always find a cafe or tea room with air-conditioning. Or just dive in a big department in Chun-Shou East Road and enjoy your shopping. Fo ... Read review
