Muslim-Friendly Vibes
Taiwan’s all about giving Muslim travelers the VIP treatment, actively hooking them up with facilities and services tailored to their needs.
“We’re not just all about Chinese tourists; we’re also gearing up for our Muslim pals,” said Chou during the opening of the Taiwan Tourism Service Office.
They’ve gone all out to make Muslim travelers feel right at home, with stuff like prayer spaces or musallas at tourist spots, 400 halal-certified restaurants, and public transport that’s Muslim-friendly. They’ve even got you covered at Taiwan’s international airports, Taipei Main Station, Kaohsiung Station, Hualien Station, Taichung Taiwan High-Speed Rail Station, and 13 National Scenic Areas and National Highway Service Areas.

They’ve said traveling around Taiwan is as easy as pie. From easy peasy administrative stuff to budget-friendly costs during your holiday, Taiwan’s got you covered.
