Don’t expect to pay more than NT$2,010 (£50) per night for a king-size room in a boutique hotel – and you
can get a decent double for NT$1,200 (£35) outside Taipei.
While you could happily feast on street food for just a few dollars, restaurants are great value too – as long as
you don’t want linen tablecloths or silver service. In a modest family-run restaurant you’ll pay around
NT$140 (£3.50) for a bowl of beef noodle soup, and NT$50 (£1.25) for a bottle of Taiwan Beer.
