TAIWAN may not be the first destination that comes to mind for Muslim travellers, but this island in East Asia is gradually emerging as a must-visit destination for those seeking a rich cultural experience with Muslim-friendly accommodations.
A recent six-day trip, spanning Sept 6 – 11, in which theSun participated, showcased just how welcoming Taiwan can be to Muslim travellers, with a focus on Taipei and Miaoli. From halal-certified meals to inclusive activities and scenic wonders, the trip offers a beautiful fusion of Taiwan’s culture, landscapes and Muslim-friendly services.
Warm welcome to Taiwan
The journey began with a flight aboard Starlux Airlines from Malaysia. Not only was the in-flight service top-notch, but the airline ensured that Muslim travellers had access to halal-certified meals, offering peace of mind during the five-hour journey to Taiwan.
The first night’s accommodation was at the Fuji Grand Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel located in the Xizhi District of New Taipei City. Arriving just past midnight, the group was welcomed into an opulent setting, ensuring a restful night before embarking on the cultural adventure awaiting them.
