1.When can I visit Taitung?

The pandemic is still quite severe in Taiwan. There are COVID-19 cases throughout the entire country. During this time, the public has been asked to avoid unnecessary travel and gatherings. To ensure the safety of travelers and locals alike, the Taitung County Government has asked everyone to postpone or cancel their travel plans. Under Taiwan’s level 3 epidemic alert, most of Taitung’s tourist attractions are temporarily closed. Events for tourists are also postponed. Flights, ferries to the outlying islands, and other forms of public transportation are only offering limited service.

As for when you will be able to visit Taitung, we believe that Taiwan first must go down to epidemic alert level 1. There should be no risk of community transmission. Travel can start again when government restrictions on gatherings, businesses and public transportation are lifted. For more details, please continue to check our website for the latest information.
