If this is your first time traveling with children, Taiwan is one of the best destinations in the world! Taiwan is not only an exceptionally safe country but also offers a wealth of travel experiences that are perfect for families: stunning scenery, various hands-on activities, interesting cultural experiences, diverse food options, modern and convenient infrastructure, and warm, welcoming people.

However, we understand that parents may have concerns about what to prepare in advance or managing luggage while traveling with children. To help, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions our tour consultants have received over the years.

1. I am traveling with a baby and need to breastfeed. Is Taiwan a suitable destination?

Yes, Taiwan is very suitable for traveling with a baby. Many tourist centers and attractions have breastfeeding rooms for mothers. If needed, we can also provide a portable cooler (typically used for camping) to keep the breast milk.

2. I will need hot water to prepare milk for my child during the trip. Is this possible?

Certainly. Hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores in Taiwan can provide hot water. (The density of convenience stores in Taiwan is quite impressive!) Bringing a large thermos is also a good idea to have hot water ready for when your child gets hungry unexpectedly.

3. My child is allergic to gluten or nuts. How can I arrange food for them?

In Taiwan, rice dishes are a very common choice. If your child has any food allergies, please inform us in advance, and we will take special care to accommodate them. We’ll notify the hotels to prepare suitable breakfasts and recommend restaurants that meet your dietary requirements.

4. My child is a picky eater and is not used to Chinese food. What should I do?

Taiwan’s food culture is very diverse, with many Western restaurants available alongside Chinese cuisine. If the adults want to enjoy local delicacies, we can also prepare familiar foods for your child, such as sandwiches or pasta. Additionally, we encourage children to try simpler Chinese dishes like fried rice, dumplings, or beef noodles.

5. Do I need to bring a lot of diapers? Are diapers easy to buy in Taiwan?

You only need to bring enough diapers for the flight and the first couple of days. Diapers can easily be purchased at supermarkets or pharmacies in Taiwan. If your itinerary includes less accessible areas like Alishan, it is advisable to buy enough diapers in the city beforehand.
