Taiwan is an island nation in East Asia that is lesser explored by tourists – and that’s changing rapidly! It is one of the safest and most friendly countries in Asia for travelers, making it perfect for solo female travellers. It is known to be a crossroads of natural beauty, culture and modern technology, and has experiences in store for all different types of women travellers. Here are four reasons why Taiwan should be your next destination.

1. Natural Beauty

Taiwan is a paradise for nature lovers with lush rainforests, scenic mountains and stunning coastlines. Catch the best sunrise views at Alishan National Forest, and head to Yehliu Geopark for unique rock formations and the coolest birds. And when in Taiwan, you can’t forget the hot springs! Head to Beitou Hot Spring Museum for the best experience.

2. Local Cuisine

Known for its street food culture, Taiwan’s night markets will give you endless culinary options to choose from. Traditional noodles to stinky tofu and Taiwanese omelets, you will be spoilt for choice. Do try the local pineapple cake, and maybe even take a cooking class for it! And of course, the best bubble tea – did you know it originated in Taiwan?

3. The Best Shopping

Taipei is known for its malls and bustling night markets that will tick off everything on your girls trip shopping list. Ximending Square is a go-to for both fashion and entertainment, and don’t miss out on Fengchia Night Market – the largest night market in Taiwan! Even the iconic Taipei 101 has great options for shopping, dining and panoramic views of the city.

4. Instagrammable Experiences

Calling all Insta enthusiasts – in Taiwan, there’s no filter needed! Whether it’s the Dutch-like flower gardens at Zhongshe or the Taipei 101 tower (tallest building before Burj Khalifa!), Taiwan has all the aesthetics you need. You can even fulfill your Disney ‘Tangled’ dreams and release lanterns at Shifen Old Street!
