Been thinking about visiting Taiwan and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $136/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

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