Paper umbrellas and lanterns are such affordable gifts that travellers often buy them in large quantities before they leave Taiwan. It may not seem like much, but these items actually make great gifts due to their exquisite beauty and the fact that most are hand-painted and crafted. Lanterns of all shapes, sizes and colours can be packed flat and stowed away in luggage for safe keeping.
The Meinong district of Kaohsiung is a great place to buy umbrellas and Lukang Township in Changhua County is the best for paper lanterns

Pottery is considered a great gift from those visiting Taiwan, and why wouldn’t it be? These delicate handicrafts are often beautifully decorated, making for very interesting ornaments. In fact, there are lots of pottery museums and workshops in Taiwan, mostly in the outskirts of the big cities and in the countryside.
You can buy earthen pottery or simple, plain-coloured ceramic pieces that have been hand-painted by artisans virtually anywhere in Taiwan. If you want a great ceramic tea pot, you should head towards the Yingge district of Taipei.

The Shao Xing and Gao Liang wines are some of the best spirits that can be bought in Taiwan. Travellers from far and wide take a break from shopping in the big cities in order to visit Nantou County. The Shao Xing and Gao Liang wines from here are much-loved thanks to abundance of an important ingredient in the spirits – fresh, clear spring water.
The wines are packed in exquisite bottles and packaging and would make great gifts. Some say that the wines are best used in cooking and will bring out the flavours of your meal.

Visit a night market in Taiwan and one of the first few stalls you stumble into may will probably be selling Taiwanese sausages. These are not like the ones you’d find between hot dog buns. On the contrary, Taiwanese sausages are made from fatty pork and lard, and are usually sweet, spicy and savoury. You can find them sold in sticks, but if you want to bring some home, you can purchase frozen packs of sausages from a supermarket.

The tea drinking culture in Taiwan is very popular, so the choice of tea-oriented souvenirs and gifts available is very broad. If you fancy the various types of teas in Taiwan, including its famous Oolong Tea, you can buy pre-packaged tea bags or packs in order to brew them at home. Each type of Taiwanese tea is unique and boasts its own unique flavours and characteristics. Some are bitter while others are mildly intoxicating.
Tea can be bought from most tea merchants and stores in Taiwan, but one of the best (and perhaps priciest) is the Oolong tea from Alishan, which is light-bodied yet memorable.

A lot of travellers love the exquisite
cheongsam
or
qipao
in Taiwan. If you are one of them, you may want to purchase several pairs for yourself before going home. Some are strictly traditional looking, while others are more contemporary in design. Whatever styles they come in, you’ll be happy to learn that most are made by skilled tailors, committed to mixing traditional beauty with quality.

cloth bags are also great buys for ladies who want to collect the most fashionable bags for their wardrobe. They can be bought in Tainan and in other major cities.

With numerous shopping malls, commercial outlets and night markets in Taiwan, you will quickly find yourself spoiled for choice. At the night markets, food and trinkets are the hottest buys. If you are not able to bring fresh fruits back home, you may opt to buy candied fruits – these last for a longer time and will make good gifts.
If you want to bring home something more exquisite, you can select a few pieces of jade for yourself. Crystals are also a fine choice, and crystal bracelets or earrings make good gifts for loved ones back home. Pottery and ceramic also make great decoration pieces and the hand-painted pieces are a delight to behold.

Visit a night market in Taiwan and one of the first few stalls you stumble into may will probably be selling Taiwanese sausages. These are not like the ones you’d find between hot dog buns. On the contrary, Taiwanese sausages are made from fatty pork and lard, and are usually sweet, spicy and savoury. You can find them sold in sticks, but if you want to bring some home, you can purchase frozen packs of sausages from a supermarket.

The tea drinking culture in Taiwan is very popular, so the choice of tea-oriented souvenirs and gifts available is very broad. If you fancy the various types of teas in Taiwan, including its famous Oolong Tea, you can buy pre-packaged tea bags or packs in order to brew them at home. Each type of Taiwanese tea is unique and boasts its own unique flavours and characteristics. Some are bitter while others are mildly intoxicating.
Tea can be bought from most tea merchants and stores in Taiwan, but one of the best (and perhaps priciest) is the Oolong tea from Alishan, which is light-bodied yet memorable.
