When to Travel

If you really want to take advantage of Taiwan’s beauty and lush gifts, you should wait for the monsoons to go away first before you set foot in the country. October to March is when winter monsoons arrive and from May to September, you get the summer monsoons. So that leaves you April and perhaps the middles of September. It would also help if you keep yourself posted on the weather especially during the time you would really want to visit Taiwan.
