More about Taiwan costs
Travelling to Taiwan is fairly affordable, with dormitory rooms charging within 300.00 TWD (9.42 USD) to 400.00 TWD (12.56 USD). High end hotels are way too overpriced. It's more practical to reserve a room in a B&B, which charge about 2,000.00 TWD (62.81 USD) to 4,000.00 TWD (125.62 USD) per night. Back-alley noodle establishments serve satisfying bowls for about 35.00 TWD (1.10 USD) to 70.00 TWD (2.20 USD). A midrange restaurant meal will cost an average of 300.00 TWD (9.42 USD). More expensive restaurants will charge a minimum of 1,000.00 TWD (31.40 USD).
Visitors hoping for an authentic taste of fine Chinese will have to budget about 500.00 TWD (15.70 USD) to 1,200.00 TWD (37.68 USD). Westerners who need a little taste of their home will spend about 130.00 TWD (4.08 USD) minimum to about 500.00 TWD (15.70 USD) maximum. Getting around via taxi is no challenge in Taiwan. Make sure drivers start the meter as they may charge you 30 percent more than the basic rate. The thirty percent only applies at night. For a faster journey in the city, take Taipei's MRT. Single trip tickets are within the range of 20.00 TWD (0.63 USD) to 65.00 TWD (2.04 USD) but most are just about 40.00 TWD (1.26 USD).
