Due to government regulations aimed at reducing waste, starting from January 1, 2025, hotels in Taiwan will restrict the use of disposable toiletries (such as shower cap, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream, etc.). Guests are encouraged to bring their own items. Visitors from mainland China remain barred from entering for tourism; exemptions are in effect for those entering for business, education, and family purposes.
