General Information
Not somewhere you would think about visiting on your next trip but there is no reason Taiwan shouldn’t be the destination for your next adventure. With a modern vibrant capital city which contrasts the rural authentic outskirts, visiting Taiwan will give you a varied experience. Visit the sun moon lake and take in the tranquillity whilst walking around this scenic lake.
After this, head to Tainan which is the oldest city in Taiwan. Here you will find Anping Fort which was built in 1624 by the Dutch. Drive to Kenting which is home to some of the most stunning tropical beaches in Taiwan. Refuel yourself and soak up the vitamin D before heading to Taitung which is considered to be Taiwan’s last unspoilt area.
Due to its coastal location, the weather has formed several interesting landforms. Head to Taroko next which is home to the Taroko National Park. The dramatic landscape is stunning as you see the deep ravine which has been carved by the river. This is a popular walking and hiking spot due to the varied landscape and multiple trail options.
Taiwan LGBTQ+ Rights
Taiwan is a standout destination in Asia for LGBTQ+ rights, being the first country in the region to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019. This groundbreaking move marked a significant step forward in LGBTQ+ equality, solidifying Taiwan’s position as one of the most progressive countries in Asia when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights. The legalization of same-sex marriage grants same-sex couples the same legal rights as heterosexual couples, including the right to adopt children.
Taiwan’s legal framework also includes strong protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. These protections extend to areas like employment, housing, and public services, ensuring that LGBTQ+ individuals can live and work without fear of prejudice. In addition to legal advancements, Taiwan is home to a vibrant LGBTQ+ community, particularly in cities like Taipei, which hosts one of the largest Pride parades in Asia each year.
Taiwan’s social climate is generally accepting, especially in urban areas where LGBTQ+ rights are celebrated through cultural events, inclusive nightlife, and public awareness campaigns. While conservative views may still persist in rural areas, Taiwan remains one of the safest and most welcoming destinations for LGBTQ+ travelers in the region. Whether exploring Taipei’s vibrant gay scene or enjoying the country’s rich cultural heritage, Taiwan offers an inclusive and progressive environment for LGBTQ+ visitors.
What Everyone Does In Taiwan
If you want the best skyline views of Taipei, the capital city, then you must head to Taipei 101 which used to hold the world record for the world’s tallest building. It towers at 508m and has a viewing platform at the top which you can purchase tickets for.
What Some People Do In Taiwan
Wulai can be found up in the mountains about 25km south of Taipei. It is known for being a bit of an urban jungle, but the authentic messiness gives you a taste of true Taiwan. Here you will find spectacular waterfalls, beautiful rivers and it’s also great for birdwatching.
What No One Else Does In Taiwan
In the Nantun District visit the rainbow village. Yes you read that correctly and yes it’s exactly as it sounds. The entire village has been painted different colours, the ground, the buildings, everything!
Getting to Taiwan
Taipei is the main city in Taiwan and where the bulk of international flights head to. In the North of the island there are also other minor domestic airports that can be reached from other Asian cities.
