Quick question for the Taiwan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
