Visiting Taiwan as a solo traveler with obesity
Hi Reddit,
I will be traveling Asia for about 2 months starting in March. I will be visiting Taiwan as my fourth stop from around mid April. My planned itinerary is as follows. I can still add or subtract days or stops as I please, since I haven’t booked beyond Taipei yet.
Taipei: 13-17 April Sun Moon Lake: 17-19 April Alishan: 19-21 April Kaohsiung: 21-24 April (I will also go to Tainan to look at some things during my stay in Kaohsiung)
I am having some concerns about my travels in Taiwan however. I am very obese. This does luckily not affect my ability to walk and stuff like that, but I shouldn’t overdo it and strenuous hiked and stuff ste a no go. Besides that, I obviously take more space when in public spaces (I always book a double seat on airplanes for example). This is why I want to ask Reddit whether visiting Alishan in particular would still be enjoyable enough for me, obviously I cannot really do the super strenuous hikes for example.
I had wanted to go to Hualien as well but I felt that it would be less worth it for me considering my limitations and since I cannot rent a car/cannot drive even on the parts that are opened after the earthquake. This does make me feel like I’m gonna miss out on some things in Taiwan as I’ll not touch the east coast at all.
Are there any other things I should be concerned about traveling to Taiwan as someone with obesity?
