Weather: The rainy season begins with continuous drizzles towards the end of the month, but it is rather warm in April. Average low and high temperatures are 19 °C (66 °F) and 23 °C (74 °F).
Clothing: A long-sleeve shirt or even a T-shirt is enough for the day time, but at early morning or evening you will need a cardigan or sweater.
If you travel to mountainous areas, you will need a coat. Bring an umbrella and mosquito repellant, because after the rain there are many mosquitoes.
Things to do: Cherry blossoms on Yangmingshan Hill are very beautiful in April, drawing the local people to climb the hill to enjoy the view.

Hi, I''m planning for a trip to Taiwan (Most prob Taichung area) for my wedding photo shoot. Tentatively setting dates btw 27 Apr 2013 - 01 May 2013. Is it a good time to go for a shoot? Is that the beginning of the rainy season? Or Perhaps other months will be recommendable? e.g. March / June , etc.
Hi Jesmess,
Thanks for your questions.
April to May is a good time to visit Taiwan. Generally speaking, only summer times in June, July and August is not good for Taiwan, when is rainy times and typhoons.
Hi, I''m planning to visit Taiwan on 3rd April to 9 April. How is the shopping like during that period of time? Is majority still selling cold season clothing?
Hi Taylor,
Most of Taiwan has beautiful warm climate all year round and winter coat is not that necessary, long-sleeve shirts are fine.
So the cold season clothing may be not possbile on sale in Taiwan. Know more about Taiwan shopping here: http://www.chinahighlights.com/taiwan/shopping.htm
