7 Common Scams in Taiwan All Tourists Should Know Before It’s Too Late

Most Singaporeans love to visit Taiwan. There are beautiful scenery, fantastic shopping places and most importantly great food to have.

It is also a tourist friendly place, and most of them can speak both English and Chinese, the language that many of us are used to.

Taiwan is generally a safe place with pretty low crime rate. Nonetheless, when we are in a foreign land, it is always good to be aware of your surroundings and also to know the pitfalls of travelling in that particular country.

Here are the seven common scams in Taiwan that you must really know and avoid to prevent yourself from getting conned, because “being safe” doesn’t mean you won’t be tricked into a scam!

Fresh fruits stall in popular tourist areas
Taiwan is a fruit paradise. When you visit Taiwan, you cannot resist all the fresh fruits that you will see out in the streets. There will always be fruit stalls selling freshly cut fruits, especially mangoes, at popular tourist areas.


Be careful when you buy from these stalls as they will charge you exorbitant prices for a few pieces of fruits. Some can even come up to more than 1,000NT! In addition, you cannot reject the fruits after they have cut it up for you, and you will have to pay them the price that was charged.

The best place to buy fruits is the market where you can get whole fruits at a reasonable price.

Remember, never ever ask to check if the fruits are fresh. Ask = cut fruits = you’ll have to buy = crazy price.

Freshly squeezed fruit juice
This is similar to fresh fruits as the vendors in popular tourist areas will demand high prices for a cup of juice. It was reported last year that a few Chinese tourists were charged 250NT each for fresh watermelon juice in an eatery in Shi Lin Night Market!

That’s almost SGD$11 for a cup of juice!


Xi Men Ding’s hard selling gang
Xi Men Ding is a popular shopping area where almost every tourist will visit due to its big surroundings and low prices. However, beware of the hard selling gang that operates there.

Their target is you–the tourist.

They will hire students to sell all kind of products on the broad walkway of Xi Men Ting. The females will target single or a group of male tourists and entice them into buying by flirting with them.

This usually causes the male tourists to be too embarrassed to reject the advances and pay for the products.

The male salesperson tries a different tactic. They will act like you are the “best-est” friend they have in the universe and try to make you buy the products as a friend. Just be aware of your surroundings and try to avoid these people.


After all, let’s face it: we have these groups of people in Singapore, too. The only difference is that in Singapore, we dare to show them the hand, but not in Taiwan.

Fake gemstones/watches/branded items
For those of you who prefer to travel with a tour group, be very careful when your tour guide brings you to a gemstone shop, a high-end watch shop or any other branded shops. The goods there might not be as real as you think they are, and the tour guide has brought you there because he would receive a commission whenever he brings in a group of unsuspecting tourists.

Tea Leaves
Taiwan is famous for their tea leaves too. There is one type of tea called 高山茶 which is extremely popular with tourists due to its renowned name and the fragrance of the tea leaves.

Be careful to buy only the real ones in established shops for there are quite a number of unscrupulous sellers who will mix cheap tea leaves from China with the premium 高山茶 and pass it off as the high-grade tea.

They will usually sell these packages of tea at a super high price to smoke you about their authenticity.

And remember there’s still some 高山茶 in the package? You won’t even know you’ve bought a package with 10% 高山茶 and 90% mere Lipton tea leaves.

False charity sales
Be careful of local people coming up to you asking you to buy a pen out of love for the poor and needy. These people are lying and they are just cheating you out of your money by invoking your kindness and compassion towards the poor and needy.

Most of them will pretend to represent certain charities organisations, and sell you “cheap” pens for 200NT.

Taxi meters
Similar to Bangkok, some of these taxi drivers will not turn on their meters. When you reach your destination, they will charge you at any price that they deem fit. Always check that the meter is on when you board a cab, especially when you are touring outside of Taipei.

Another way to travel will be to book a cab for the whole day, especially when you have four people travelling in Taiwan together.

Just so you know, there’s Uber in Taiwan but it’s not yet being recognized by the authorities – you can still use them, through you’ll notice that they won’t reveal the full plate number to you in the app.

At least, so far that’s the way it is. Whether the authorities would completely ban Uber or allow it to run in the future is anyone’s guess.

Jesus Christ was a fisherman, before becoming fishermen. Going by his example, fish is no question for human consumption. But you eat Norwegian Farm raised salmon at your own risk.

One man even called these characteristics as being "more driven" and import a million of their mainland cousins into a small country and strain the infrastructure to its limits-the 'elites" enjoy the cheap labour while the hoi polloi have to live side by side with these monsters in stuffy HDB's and squeeze into public transport and public hospitals with them.
What distinguish the red dot apart from these Chinese was the integrity and honesty cultivated through the one century of colonial rule and its education system -so at least the Chinese you can trust are the English educated ones from malaya and singapore.
Now we are no different from the taiwanese and PRC's and have lost the only advantage we have over them( emphasis on quality/integrity/reliability over mass produced low quality)

Jesus was a Jewish slave turned crook and religious conman had been executed by Roman but the crook's loyal victims false-claimed resurrection in defiance of execution. All of the church mongers tales are lies and craps. Jesus directly work for the devil, task is to induce stupidity via greed & selfishness of foolish inferior and (supposed to be eliminated) fucked up man, to have them turned into massive pest to ruin whole universe and carrying out total extinction suicide & genocide.

I am surprised that the lobsters aren't sold. Most chinks I know crave seafood of any kind. Have you seen how they wallop all the prawns and crayfish at the buffet table?

yes sir , i had seen them wallop everything
once the signal to start the buffet was given
they all rushed towards the tables
and grapped everything and anything
happened during all rc ,cc events when free buffet lunch/dinner were provided.

網友的中國客戶在台北夜市買了這幾串燒烤,結帳時被價錢下了一跳。(網友提供)
原po表示,當時他沒細看標價就夾了,心想一串不過才1、20元吧?但結帳時竟然要收240元!他補充說明,本來香菇和肉看起來還滿大塊,怎知烤完後居然縮水變小。他擔心中國客戶覺得買貴會不高興,趕緊補了句:「這有點貴啊…」,雖然客戶客氣地說:「這不算貴,不貴不貴。」但他仍不禁懷疑在台北的夜市炭烤,這樣賣240元到底合不合理?

此文一出立刻引起網友好奇發問「哪間夜市啊」?原po回應:「不知道算不算夜市,但人很多就是了…台北市酒店附近的地方買的。」天價炭烤也讓許多人怒回:「我絕對轉頭就走」、「有點扯!看過最貴的這樣了不起160元」,還有網友不忘搭配時事:「帶他去吃墾丁930元的滷味。」也有認真系網友分析:「我來幫你算,香菇一朵25X3、豆干一片15X3、黑輪一片20X2、牛肉串一塊肉算你20X4,剛好240,謝謝光臨喔」,讓原po苦笑回應:「你是老闆嗎?」

網友在PTT發文表示,到了傳說中的「某師傅滷味」假裝日本人來買滷味,全程用日語問答,看看傳言是否是真的,點了「青椒一個(牛番茄大小)、豬耳朵一小條(粗細約小拇指大小)、一個豬腱(乒乓球大小)、一個芋簽(鹽酥雞賣的那種細的長方形)」,最後結帳時竟要價205元。

讓網友激動質問,「請問是有灑金箔嗎?還是墾丁是在第三次元世界?還是南部經濟要起飛啦~」

▲墾丁觀光人潮持續下滑,今年恐難突破500萬大關。(資料圖/記者郭孟聰攝 , 2017.07.26)
墾丁觀光潮回不去了?向來是國人旅遊熱門景點的墾丁,近幾年頻被爆出坑殺觀光客,住宿貴、消費高,甚至傳出一盤滷味要價920元,整體環境品質大幅下降。據統計,截至今年11月為止,至墾丁觀光的遊客僅有約400萬人,預估今年恐無法突破500萬人次。

過去以自然景致、陽光、大海及沙灘聞名的墾丁,不論是夏季或冬季總吸引眾多遊客前往遊玩。但隨著外國觀光客暴增、各項大型活動增多,加上不少業者為大賺觀光財不斷開發,製造汙染破壞當地生態,不少商品及攤販價格更是貴得嚇人,種種因素導致觀光品質逐年下滑,令遊客卻步。

之前有網友更將日本沖繩與墾丁拿來互相比較,逐項列出兩者間的優劣,最後發現,在沖繩的花費與前往墾丁旅行差不多,這也讓許多民眾寧可花錢出國玩也不願到墾丁旅遊,更笑稱「有錢人才去墾丁。」

近日,墾丁國家公園公布今年各月份遊客人次統計表,從數據中明顯可見,墾丁各遊憩區每月遊客人數,截至11月為止,加總起來大約為409萬左右,與去年資料相比,除9至11月這三個月遊客人數稍有成長,其他月份旅遊人數全數下降,其中又以2月份下降最多,將近33萬人次。而去年全年旅遊人次共約583萬,若本月遊客人次低於80萬,全年旅遊人次將暴減百萬。

面對墾丁觀光慘況該如何是好?據《自由時報》報導,由於小琉球觀光人潮近來蓬勃發展,觀光局要求轄管小琉球的鵬管處,委請專業顧問公司規畫恆春半島觀光發展,被外界視為政府出手救墾丁觀光的指標。

Taiwanese are Chinese but pretends to be white! Ruthlessness and evil knows no bounds or boundaries however! Scams; tainted foodstuffs; fake meat products, falsification of expiry dates is not the exclusive province of China or Chinese. The Nigerians came into fame long before the Chinese.
