Summary: The pros of living in Taiwan include its vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and friendly people. Taiwan is also known for its excellent healthcare system and low cost of living.

Additionally, the country is prone to earthquakes and typhoons, which can be a source of stress for some people.
What are the pros and cons of living in Taiwan?
Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Taiwan responded:
"Expats and digital nomads in Taiwan often appreciate the low cost of living, the friendly locals, and the delicious food. They also enjoy the vibrant nightlife, the easy access to public transportation, and the abundance of cultural attractions. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier and the lack of English-speaking locals to be a challenge. Additionally, the humid climate and the occasional typhoons can be a deterrent for some," explained one expat in Taiwan.
"Kaohsiung is an easy city to live in and I love that you can go to the beach or mountains in the same day," said one expat in Kaohsiung.
