Taiwan Late April: Still Safe to Visit With the Current... Uh... *Situation*?
-
There are earthquakes. Don't come.
-
What Taiwanese people dread most are the traffic jams during long holidays. Everywhere you go to eat, drink, and have fun is packed with people.
-
Could I ask what the weather and temperature are usually like around the end of April, based on previous years? Wondering if I should pack long pants and short sleeves, shorts and short sleeves, or long pants and long sleeves.
-
I'm arriving in Taiwan on the 1st, and it's totally safe! Currently in Taichung.
-
Looking forward to your update.
-
No one can tell you when an earthquake will happen.
-
I'm not really worried about earthquakes, to be honest.
-
People here are super chill. I was hiking on an Alishan trail when an earthquake alert suddenly went off. Everyone just carried on walking, haha. I asked them, and they said if the shaking isn't strong, they usually just stay put. They only run out if it's really noticeable.
-
So, have earthquakes been really frequent lately?
-
Oh, definitely don't go! That way, it'll be less crowded when I visit.
-
I'm going the day after tomorrow, hahaha! A bit worried myself, tbh.
-
Feels like it shouldn't be a huge issue, right? Awaiting your update.
-
It's super safe, you're very welcome! Just try to avoid the rain, as it's been raining quite a bit lately.
-
Earthquakes have been a bit more frequent lately, so please stay safe.

Okay, thanks.
