- Duncan Forgan
September to November is Taiwan’s autumn and the best time to visit, with the island’s many flowers coming into full bloom. At this time there are cooler temperatures than in summer and much less rain, especially in October and November. Average lows are between 18ºC and 27ºC (64-80ºF) and average highs are between 27ºC and 30ºC (80-85ºF), with rainfall a mere 20 mm per month. The dry weather makes it a perfect time to hike or cycle though the island’s many mountains and along its coastline.
December-March
From December to March, visitors to the Maolin National Scenic Area can see migrating purple Euploea butterflies. Millions them make a stop-off here in the south of Taiwan, and thousands of tourists from across the world are drawn in by their beauty.
