Located between state capital Taipei and Keelung, in the town of Wanli, is Yehliu Geopark where tourists can enjoy the scenic beauty of the naturally formed rocks, stretching approximately 1,700 meters into the ocean.

A trip to Yehliu Geopark is incomplete without visiting the Yehliu Ocean World, where tourists can get a glimpse of its exotic marine life.

Popular night markets to visit include Shilin Night Market, the largest night market in Taipei and Keelung Miaokou Night Market, for clothes, jewellery, household items, toys and interesting gadgets, all at pocket-friendly prices.

No street shopping is complete without street food such as stinky tofu, oyster omelette, pearl milk tea, fried prawns and spicy meat and desserts such as flavoured shaved ice and fresh fruits.

HALAL FOOD

Taiwan has two certification boards; the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association (THID) and the Chinese Muslim Association. There are two kinds of certification, “Halal restaurants” for those owned by Muslims, and “Muslim-friendly restaurants” for halal outlets owned by non-Muslims. Since both these certificates confirm the halal status of the restaurant, Muslim tourists looking for a restaurant to dine at could now look for the logos displayed at these outlets before dining. The halal logos displayed at the restaurants and the helpful information found online regarding these outlets make it easier to plan a trip to the island nation.

 

E-VISA

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Taiwan has expanded its e-visa programme and included nationals from six Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

The six GCC countries include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from the Middle East.
