Is it safe to travel to Taiwan in regards to China?
Here in Taiwan, people continue their business as usual, and nobody talks about the manoeuvring of China. Despite a lot of western media interest of recent times, the status quo between Taiwan and China remains in place, and nothing has changed here in regards to attitudes or concerns.
Is it safe to ride in Taiwan after the April 2024 earthquake?
The simple answer is yes. Most areas of Taiwan were operating normally the day after the 'quake, and the majority of the best cycling routes are now totally safe for riding.
The only areas that received significant damage were the Suhua coastal road (between Yilan and Hualien) and Taroko Gorge. The coastal road is now open, and the road through Taroko Gorge is currently open (with time windows for entry and exit) which is the most important thing, although the hiking trails and tourist sites within it are still closed.
In Taiwan earthquakes are not uncommon, and happen regularly. It's worth pointing out that 99.9% of them don't cause any noticeable damage or cause any injuries.
