If you’ve ever taken a trip to Taiwan in the summer, it is no secret that the temperatures can be brutal. The humid sub-tropical climate can be unbearable, and if you are there for a good time, some days may feel like a struggle as you balance fitting in a busy itinerary and keeping your sanity through the intense heat. If you haven’t had this experience, just know that as much as I love Taipei, the summer months can be hell.
The great thing about Taiwan is that the trains can typically get you pretty close to most tourist destinations, but sometimes there will be a bit of a walk through the sea of summer humidity to get there. On those days when you can’t take the climate anymore, try these alternatives.
