Taiwan pairs dense, walkable cities like Taipei with easy day trips into mountains, hot springs, and night-market food culture. Most visitors from visa-exempt countries can enter for tourism or short business stays without a visa stamp, though a free online arrival card is still required. Efficient transit, English-friendly signage in major hubs, and a wide range of stays make it a straightforward first stop in East Asia.
