  Rechargeable cards for MRT, buses, local trains, YouBike and convenience stores. Taipei MRT rides are discounted with the card, and MRT-bus transfers within an hour are cheaper.

  Clean, reliable and cheap metro systems; Taoyuan Airport MRT links the airport to Taipei Main Station.

  Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR)

  Taipei to Kaohsiung in about 95 to 105 minutes. Book in the T Express app; foreign tourists can get discounted passes. Taiwan Railway (TRA) covers the east coast.

  YouBike

  Public bike share in Taipei and other cities, paid with EasyCard or iPASS (register in the YouBike app). Very cheap for short trips.

  Metered yellow taxis are plentiful; the 55688 (Taiwan Taxi) app books licensed cabs. Use reputable companies at night.

• Приложение для вызова такси

  Uber

  Works in major cities, but drivers must hold commercial licences, so prices are close to normal taxis.

Деньги и наличные

Валюта: TWD · New Taiwan dollar

Credit cards are accepted in hotels, department stores, chains and many restaurants in cities, but night markets, small eateries and street stalls are mostly cash. An EasyCard or iPASS pays for transit, convenience stores and many shops. Withdraw cash at bank or convenience store ATMs; carry NT$100 notes and coins for markets.

Tipping is not expected in Taiwan. Restaurants in hotels and some upscale places add a 10% service charge, and that covers it. Taxi drivers do not expect tips.

Схемы обмана и что с ними делать

• Phone and online impersonation scams

  Где: Phone calls, messaging apps, social media

  Как это работает: Callers pose as police, banks or officials and ask you to transfer money or share details. Taiwan treats fraud as a major crime problem.

  Как избежать: Never transfer money on request; hang up and call the police anti-fraud line 165.

• ATM and card skimming

  Где: Standalone ATMs

  Как это работает: Skimmers and hidden cameras capture card details and PINs.

  Как избежать: Use ATMs inside banks or convenience stores, cover your PIN and watch statements.

• Pickpocketing at night markets

  Где: Crowded night markets, festivals, sky lantern spots

  Как это работает: Petty theft in packed crowds, though it is less common than in many countries.

  Как избежать: Keep phones and wallets zipped and in front.

• Fake online accommodation and ticket listings

  Где: Social media, unofficial resale sites (varies)

  Как это работает: Listings for rooms, concert or train tickets take payment and never deliver.

  Как избежать: Book through official sites or established platforms; buy THSR tickets only in the official app or stations.

• Taxi detours

  Где: Airports and tourist areas (varies)

  Как это работает: Occasional long routes or claims the meter is broken.

  Как избежать: Use the official airport taxi queue or a booked app ride, insist on the meter and get a receipt.

Безопасность

• Taiwan has very low violent crime; petty theft still happens in crowds.
• Traffic is the biggest risk: scooters weave through traffic and vehicles may not stop at crossings. Look both ways even on green.
• Drug laws are very strict, including cannabis and CBD; penalties can be severe.
• Typhoons (May to November) and earthquakes occur; follow Central Weather Administration alerts.
• Use reputable taxi companies at night, especially if travelling alone.
• Some MRT platforms have monitored safe waiting zones for late-night travel.

Насколько распространён английский

Signs on the MRT, HSR and in tourist areas are bilingual. Spoken English is more common in Taipei and among young people than in the south and rural areas. Taxi drivers often speak little English; show the address in Chinese.
