Taiwan Vegan Travel Guide Maps, Updates, Feedback

March 2020 Update

As tourist numbers plummet amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I am sorting and updating my blogs and websites. 

I have done a complete update on the Taiwan Vegan Travel Guide, and introduced a new Vegan Travel Guides website for it and my Japan Vegan Travel Guide

While the maps are below and this stage will stay open, it will no longer be updated. You are welcome to click on the maps below, but most people load them from directly within the book. But to check whether or not your guidebook is up-to-date, please visit this page on Vegan Travel Guide to Taiwan Updates

November, 2018: Zhen De Coffee is no longer all vegan.
Unfortunately Zhen De Coffee is now serving dairy milk in its drinks, and it may serve non-vegan food in the future. I expect that all vegan items will be well-labelled (in English) but I have removed it from my guidebook. Please be careful if you do go there, from an old guide.

The international food available from Yummy Vegan Home greatly improves the Northern Taipei outing, which covers Japanese, Spanish and Chinese history.  However this outing works best on a fine Wednesday or Friday (museums are closed on Mondays, Yummy Vegan Home on Tuesdays, Yummy Vegan House on Thursdays, and Tamsui is unbearably crowded during weekends) so please plan the rest of your trip around this outing.

 Maps

Maps are made using Google Maps Engine. Map images in the book provide a good overview, and it's always possible to follow directions to the nearest station, show a passerby the Chinese address (listed for every location) and ask them to point you in the right direction. Chances are they'll be happy to help, and practise their English. But if you'd like an interactive map there are three options.

As of 2018 I am gradually removing most Google Maps screenshots (except for situations in which a detailed, close-up map is useful) because most people read the book on a tablet or smartphone, and I now have links which open directions (in Google Maps) from the user's current location.

Feedback

Amazon Reviews

Even if you haven't yet been to Taiwan, I would greatly appreciate a few words to let new readers know a little about the book from the perspective of an independent reader. I'm not sending out complementary books for "independent" reviews because they're not independent. I hope vegan travellers will share their honest opinions - good or bad - about this book with other travellers, and of course I will take them seriously in deciding whether or how to update this book or publish more.
Please write reviews at amazon.com or your country's equivalent site. 

Update Information

I do my best to keep this book updated, but if you find that information in the guide is out-of-date then the fastest and easiest way to let me know is through the "Update this attraction/restaurant" links in the book. if you would like to suggest new recommendations, or have other suggestions or feedback please email me at vegtravelguides@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

General Survey

I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone who has found this page and read to this point to help me get to know more about my audience.
