Taiwan has reopened its borders to foreign travellers!
As Taiwan welcomed visitors back early this month (October 2022), following the relaxing of some of the COVID-19 border limitations that had been among the strictest in the world, businesses—particularly those in the tourism industry—are already noticing an increase in sales.
Shortly after midnight, travellers began streaming into Taoyuan International Airport after the region revoked its quarantine and isolation regulations. Visitors must still put on their masks, present proof of vaccination, submit to rapid COVID-19 testing, and undergo a seven-day health observation period.
Follow the most recent guidelines below to make the most of your fantastic vacation to Taiwan:
With the help of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau of Malaysia, we recently took a flight to Taiwan. So now, based on our own experiences, we’ll reveal THE TOP 5 ATTRACTIONS YOU MUST VISIT to actually have the greatest and fullest Taiwan experience while you’re there! #TimeForTaiwan
1. 鹿港老街 Lukang Old Street
In the town of Lukang, there are three streets: Putou, Yaolin, and Dayou.
In the past, the business centres of Yaolin Street and Putou Street were located in Lukang; today, they are protected as historic monuments. The tourists take their time strolling on the red bricks, immersing themselves in the literary and historical studios, and looking for childhood memories in the old stores because there is no loud traffic to disturb them. The antique structures, the old artefacts that ward off evil spirits, and the scrolls by the side all provide evidence of the pace and manner of life then. Recent years have seen a boom in the tourism business, and some home owners have started selling folk art that reflects the new look of the historic neighbourhoods. There are more locations to visit, while the visitors reminisce about the old times.

4. 新屋綠色走廊 Xinwu green corridor
In the seaside recreational area near to Yong’an Fishing Harbor in the Xinwu District, there is a well-known green bicycle path known as the “Xinwu Green Tunnel.” Few experiences can match riding over this picturesque road while being accompanied by the lovely green of the trees and the cold blue of the shore. One will undoubtedly feel rejuvenated when riding on this distinctive beachfront green corridor in Taoyuan City, with the lovely Xinwu shoreline, the blue sky, and the green shade. A location like this is perfect for group riding to take in the marvels of nature.
The three north, middle, and south parts of the 4km long Green Tunnel are separated by a dense green shadow that runs down the seaside road. Currently, the finished amenities include the parking lot at the entrance, the trail system, the plank platform, the resting pavilion, the overlook platform, benches, interpretive signs, and the bikeway.

5. 野柳地質公園 Yehliu Geopark
Yehliu is a cape formed by Datun Mountain reaching into the sea that is roughly 1,700 metres long. The area is like a big turtle submerging into the water when viewed from above. It also goes by the name “Yehliu Turtle.” Due to sea erosion, weathering, and earth movements, the rock layer along the shoreline, which is composed of sandstone with a limestone texture, has a unique landscape made up of sea trenches and holes, candle-shaped rocks, and pot-shaped rocks.
The entire area is made up of three sections. Queen’s Head, Fairy’s Shoe, and Candle rocks may be found in the first section. Rocks in the second section include Bean Curd and Dragon Head. The third section includes seal-shaped rock, sea-eroded caverns, etc. The area is good for field research and geological studies. A monument of Lin Tien Jane is also there to honour the bravery of the person who sacrificed their own life to save others. The moving narrative is detailed in the memorial.
