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 prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $81/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.
