This is a list of resources covering useful information not mentioned in the playbook. Some are for travelling, while others are for deepening your understanding of Taiwan. The list is updated occasionally, so feel free to check back at any time.

We have no affiliation with any of the sites listed here, and nothing on this page is sponsored. These are simply resources we have found useful. Some of these sites carry their own advertising or affiliate links; that is their arrangement, not ours.

Planning and Getting Around

• Taiwanderers: Trip-planning guides from two frequent visitors
• Rough Guides: Taiwan: The established publisher’s overview
• Taiwan Travel Blog (Foreigners in Taiwan): Comprehensive coverage of the whole island
• Nick Kembel: Taiwan Street Food Bucket List (archived): 101 dishes, explained one by one. The author has since rebranded the site and cut the post to 30 dishes, so this is the February 2026 Internet Archive capture of the fuller original

Understanding Taiwan

• Taiwan.md: Open-source knowledge base on Taiwan
• Ku’s Dream（酷的夢）: Taiwan seen through a French resident’s camera
