Quick question for the Taiwan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
