I first went there<\/a> was because my girlfriend had visited a few years earlier, and couldn\u2019t stop raving about the place. Now I understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWonderful food, buzzing cities, pristine beaches and natural parks, and some of the friendliest people I\u2019ve ever met made visiting Taiwan a highly rewarding experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Readers of this site are likely to love it for another reason, too: it\u2019s a geek\u2019s paradise. I replaced my lost earphones and bought a new laptop while I was there, and enjoyed some of the best internet speeds I\u2019ve found while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That wasn\u2019t limited to the Wi-Fi, either. Mobile data was also fast, with coverage almost anywhere you’re likely to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even better, taking advantage of those speeds and coverage during your time in Taiwan isn’t difficult. It’s easy to buy a local SIM card at the airport or in towns and cities, and it’s even easier (and cheaper) if you use a travel eSIM instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However you choose to do it, here\u2019s what you need to know about staying connected in Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
