Major city · Taiwan
Bali District
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Bali District for a waterfront walk, bike ride and quick museum/temple visits; one day is enough.
Bali District, the newest tourist spot in New Taipei, offers a compact waterfront park, a free archaeology museum, and several temples within walking or cycling distance. With easy bus links from Guandu MRT and cheap bike rentals, a single day covers the main sights; longer stays only make sense if you stay nearby in Taipei or New Taipei.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
