Pick Taiwan 🇹🇼 if you're going in…
April
Skip typhoon season (Aug–Sep) for the east coast — Taroko Gorge closes after heavy rain. EasyCard works on every train, bus and 7-Eleven nationwide.
Pick Vietnam 🇻🇳 if you're going in…
February, June, July, August, September
Don't try the whole country in monsoon swing months (Sep–Oct) — coastal weather is unreliable.
