Taiwan Winter Travel: My 'Oh Crap!' Moments & How to Dodge Them

[Stacey Kulas]

Are there any tourist traps in Kenting?

[Marcos Goodwin]

Kenting is generally fine, but I'd suggest not going recently. The wind is too strong, making it inconvenient for cycling around the island.

[Dana Sanford]

Is the deck at Sun Moon Lake very slippery, with low railings and large gaps? I'll report this to the public works department.

[Orville Conroy]

I think so, a bit. The day I was there, I actually saw someone slip and hit their head while disembarking. It's very dangerous. It would be great if they could find a way to improve it.

[Jeremiah Stamm-Carroll]

Looking back now, I realize I fell into so many traps! I could cry.

[Lorraine Rau]

Sigh... there are probably even more that weren't recorded.

[Justin Zieme]

For someone (lit. 'sisters,' a friendly term) traveling from Hong Kong, are there any specific things to be aware of?

[Danielle Purdy-Weimann]

Just make sure you have your entry permit ready! Keep it safe, as you'll need it in many places in Taiwan, like for hotels and shopping.

[Felix Glover]

Actually, no. What's currently on display is Huang Gongwang's 'Nine Pearl Peaks in Verdure'.

[Mrs. Beverly Glover-Crist]

Ah, then it's probably been rotated out again.

[Christina Altenwerth]

It's not just winter; it rains in Taipei for about half the year.

[Kristi Doyle]

Oh! So that's how it is.
