Taiwan, a small island nation in East Asia, is renowned for its stunning hot springs resorts, dramatic mountainous landscapes, and vibrant cities.
The island is also home to the scenic Sun Moon Lake, where the eastern side resembles a sun and the western side resembles a moon, creating a truly unique natural wonder.
More about Taiwan
Taipei, the capital located in the north, is famous for its bustling night markets, delicious street food, and as the host of Asia’s largest gay pride event, Taipei Pride.
Taiwan is not only known for its cultural and natural beauty but also for its luxurious offerings, perfect for travelers seeking an exclusive and indulgent experience. The island boasts a range of high-end hotels, from five-star resorts in Taipei to private villas nestled in the mountains or by the coast.
Many of these properties feature hot spring baths, allowing visitors to unwind in the same thermal waters that have made Taiwan famous. Luxury spas and wellness centers are also abundant, offering rejuvenating treatments inspired by local traditions. Whether you’re relaxing at a lavish resort or dining in top-tier restaurants, Taiwan ensures that every aspect of your stay is nothing short of extraordinary.
Beyond the bustling cityscape of Taipei, Taiwan offers luxury travelers unique experiences, such as private tours of the picturesque Taroko Gorge, wine-tasting excursions in the central mountain region, or exclusive cruises around the stunning Sun Moon Lake. For those looking for a more personalized experience, there are bespoke cultural tours that explore Taiwan’s rich history, including visits to ancient temples, local artisans, and exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences. With a blend of natural wonders, cultural exploration, and high-end amenities, Taiwan is an ideal destination for those seeking both adventure and relaxation in an elegant setting.

Is Taiwan LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Taiwan, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is legal and workplace protections cover sexual orientation and gender identity. Equaldex gives Taiwan an Equality Index of 60 out of 100.

Taiwan is one of the most welcoming destinations in Asia for LGBTQ+ travelers. In 2019 it became the first place in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, same-sex couples can now adopt jointly, and Taipei is one of the region’s most relaxed, confident cities.
Taipei’s scene centers on the Red House in Ximending, an open-air cluster of bars around a historic market building, and Taiwan Pride each October is the biggest in East Asia.
Outside the capital, attitudes are more traditional in rural areas, but travelers rarely notice. The hotels we book in Taipei, at Sun Moon Lake and around Taroko Gorge welcome same-sex couples as standard.

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.
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.
