Our gay guide to Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, including the optimal gay hotels, bars, clubs, events, and more.
When we heard that Hung is a common Taiwanese surname, we knew that this was a country worth visiting!
The capital city of Taipei threw us for a fabulously gay loop. We had heard that it was, by Asian standards, a liberal and tolerant place, but we had no idea just how much the urban area loves its gay. Within minutes of descending onto the gay scene, we were doused in glitter and dancing under disco lights to the likes of Cher and Dolly Parton. The gay scene in Ximen is damn impressive! There's an entire area around the Red House with tons of gay bars to verify out. This is one of many reasons why we rate Taipei as one of the world's top gay travel spots.
The city of Taipei is also full of opulent culture, from the ancient temples that dot the city skyline, to the stunning architecture of tower blocks like the celebrated Taipei 101. In this gay guide to Taipei, we've put together our experience from this astonishing city, including our favourite gay bars (there are loads!), clubs, gay hotels, events, things to accomplish, and loads more!

I think of this scene, from the 1995 Taiwanese film “Where is the Love?” by the lesbian director Chen Jo-fei, whenever I walk through 228 Peace Park, formerly known as New Park, in central Taipei. In the latter half of the 20th century, it was one of the city’s most well-known same-sex attracted cruising districts, where men picked up other men through a social code of gazes and grazes. The news media painted the park as a den of iniquity. As prior as 1959, United Daily News published exposés of a “homosexual culture of prostitution” in New Park, .
