Best Time to Travel to Taipei

June through August is typically when Taipei tends to welcome the most tourists. This is largely due to the Computex technology show, which traditionally takes place at the beginning of this season. Around the Chinese New Year, in January or February, the city is overrun by more travellers than any other time, and room rates tend to be highest.

September through November is considered a shoulder season in Taipei. Historically, this is when fewer tourists flock to local attractions. This time of year is known locally as "Ghost Month," when parades, dragon dancers, and a variety of traditional customs and rituals take place. Another shoulder season takes place from January through May, as cherry trees begin to flourish and temperatures mostly stay between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Off Season:

December is the time of year when the fewest tourists visit Taipei, serving as the calm before the storm that is the Chinese New Year. This is also the time of year when you can expect to encounter the most typhoons, which sometimes deters travellers. Room rates are generally at their lowest during this month, and cheap flights to Taipei are also more common. If you don't mind a little rain, this can be an outstanding time to tour the trails of Yangmingshan National Park.
