  • Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the arrival-card rule on the official sites before you fly.
  • Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, trains in the north 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.
  • Northern Taiwan ↗The north coast and Jiufen are wet for much of the year; carry a compact umbrella and do not plan a sunset view around clear skies.
  • Taipei ↗Older streets have covered arcades with parked scooters and stalls: large suitcases go from the car or MRT exit to the door, not along the arcade.
  • Taipei ↗The MRT stops around midnight; after that use taxis and the Uber app. Check the last train before dinner.
