What is travel policy for COVID-19 in Taiwan now? Still need to have 7 days self isolation?

Anyone arriving in Taiwan is required to self-monitor for 7 days, without quarantine. A COVID test is not required when arriving in Taiwan, however arrivals from China will be required to be tested upon arrival. Face masks are still compulsory on public transport and in crowded settings.

Are there any tours in May? What is the weather in March?

Our tour operates in March and October. If you would prefer to travel in May, we could certainly look to create a private departure for you? The weather in March is quite mild and there is the opportunity to see the cherry blossoms in flower at this time of year.

excellent, highly recommendable, versatile, not the general kind of tourism one receives mostly everywhere with large groups of boring people. This was not everything spoon fed but for the person who has an interest in a country and doesn't mind the unusual, the different, the out -of-the way experience. We would like to see more but due to the Earth quake we were unable to travel the East Coast of Taiwan but will keep it in mind. Good food, inexpensive, great markets (not just night markets but the artistic markets), good hotels, good driver and tour guide, in short summary, highly recommendable for the person who wants to have an experience outside the famous box. There are plenty of those tours for the boxed-in travelers elsewhere.Show more
