The climate in Taiwan is relatively similar to that of northern Vietnam. The cities in the central and southern regions, as well as the high mountainous areas, usually have better weather than Taipei.

The weather in Taipei is quite unpredictable, with sudden rain and sunshine. You should visit during the summer and autumn. From July to August is the rainy season, and travelers should avoid traveling during this time.

Especially, if you are captivated by the romantic beauty of the red maple trees, you should visit Taiwan in the autumn. Winter in the high mountainous areas has low temperatures, and there may even be snowfall. If you want to see snow and experience new things, this time is very suitable for you to travel here.
