Yes, Taiwan is safe for tourists and people from abroad. Despite concern about pickpocketing in crowded areas, the crime rate in Taiwan is relatively much lower than in other Asian countries.

As Taiwan is a non-English speaking country, communication can be hard if you do not know the local tongue. Luckily, technology has come a long way, and translation apps like Google Translate can be a great help to talk to the local Taiwanese people.

Here are a few things you should never do in the company of other people while in Taiwan. You must never show the bottom of your feet to anyone, as it is a symbol of disrespect. Always give things with both hands and never with only one to show respect. Eye contact is important to show the other person you like and respect them.

It is always recommended to pre-book everything so that you do not need to carry around large amounts of cash. Make sure you only bring cash for day to day expenses like for food and souvenirs. About NTD 200 should be enough for a day, except if you plan on eating at fancy restaurants and going shopping for many items!
