Quick question for the Taiwan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

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