Things To Do
in Beibu

Golden light on fishing boats and nets; excellent for capturing local livelihoods and reflections on calm water.

Dramatic basalt cliffs and natural arches along the coast provide sweeping landscapes, especially late afternoon with low sun.

Tiered paddies that reflect the sky after rain — great for wide-angle shots and seasonal color.

Narrow streets, tiled roofs and temple lanterns offer colorful close-ups and cultural portrait opportunities, particularly during festivals.

Whole fish grilled over charcoal, seasoned simply with salt, pepper and local citrus; best at harbor-side stalls and family seafood restaurants.

Must-Try!

A classic Taiwanese street dish made with fresh oysters, egg, starch batter and savory-sweet sauce; commonly found at night markets.

A communal pot of local shellfish, fish, vegetables and tofu — ideal for sharing at small coastal restaurants.

Comfort food staple of minced-braised pork over rice; available at local diners and breakfast shops.

Early-morning market by the harbor where fishermen sell the day's catch; a great spot for sashimi, steamed clams and to observe local seafood trade.

Evening market with grills, fried snacks, bubble tea and small stalls selling oyster omelettes, skewers and desserts — the best place to sample street food variety.

Dress modestly when entering temples; avoid loud behavior and follow any photography rules posted on-site.

Remove shoes when entering homes and some small guesthouses; hosts will often indicate this or provide slippers.

Taiwanese are generally polite and orderly; wait your turn in lines and greet with a simple '你好' (ni hao).

Taiwan has strict recycling and trash sorting rules; follow local bins and avoid littering.

Tipping is not customary in Taiwan and service charges are rare in small towns; exceptional service can be rewarded but is not expected. For guides or private drivers, a small tip is appreciated but not required.

Cash (New Taiwan Dollar, TWD) is widely used, especially in markets and rural shops. Credit and debit cards are accepted at larger restaurants and hotels; contactless options and mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are increasingly common. Carry a stored-value transit card (EasyCard) for buses and local transport where available.

Mild temperatures and blooming vegetation make coastal walks pleasant; occasional rain showers increase, so pack a light rain jacket. Spring festivals and temple events may be active.

Hot, humid and sunny with peak beach and snorkeling season; watch for afternoon thunderstorms and the typhoon season (July–September) which can disrupt travel. Hydration and sun protection are essential.

Often the most comfortable season with cooler breezes, clearer skies and lower rainfall — excellent for hiking and photography. Seafood markets are active with seasonal catches.

Mild but cooler weather with brisk coastal winds; fewer tourists and lower prices, but some outdoor services may operate on limited schedules. Rain and occasional cold fronts can make mornings chilly.
