[Travel Taiwan] Accommodation Overview

When I'm traveling,  even though I want to explore different options, I usually stay at a hostel or cheap hotel because it's the easiest way to go. I finally made a change when I stayed overnight at a jimjilbang in Korea and it was such a fun experience! The jimjilbang culture is definitely something unique and it let me understood Korean culture so much more. Taiwan offers some unique accommodation options too. There is a wide variety of choices, from luxurious hotels, to affordable hostels, to cheap or even free alternatives. Some are found only in Taiwan, and some can save you big bucks if you want to scrimp on accommodation costs. I hope this post will inspire you to take new routes when you come to Taiwan!
