North of Taipei A Halal Taiwanese Adventure to Beitou and Shilin Districts 108

Malaysians who are looking to have a quick getaway to a four-season country may consider visiting Taiwan, which is less than five hours away by direct flight. The country has culture, nature, good food and the people are nice! The public transportation system is excellent too, which makes it easy for independent travellers to discover Taiwan on their own. Muslim independent travellers from Malaysia have steadily been making their way to Taiwan, especially its capital Taipei in recent years. A big push factor for this is due to the availability of Halal meals and musolla (designated Muslim praying area) throughout in the country. Taipei City Government have been working closely and diligently with Chinese Muslim Association (CMA), the governing body for Halal / Muslimfriendly certification in getting many hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions certified. Currently in Taipei alone there are 43 hotels, 33 restaurants and 10 attractions certified to date and the list is growing. In 2020, three tourist attractions and 11 accommodations such as Yangmingshan National Park, Bopiliao Historic District, and Caesar Hotel Taipei have been Muslim-friendly certified under the guidance of Taipei City Government’s Department of Information and Tourism. This year, the department continues to guide more tourist attractions and accommodations so that Muslims can enjoy and stay in Taipei with peace of mind.
