The food in Taiwan is delicious and inexpensive, so you might find yourself eating out at restaurants at least once. Try out the delightful must-eat\u00a0street food\u00a0in one of Taiwan&#8217;s\u00a0night markets, which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/travel\/article\/10-things-taiwan\/index.html#:~:text=some%2070%25%20o\">70% of\u00a0tourists\u00a0visit<\/a>! Before you pay your restaurant bill, it is best to know whether or not a tip is already in the price.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do You Tip At Restaurants In Taiwan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No, you don&#8217;t need to tip\u00a0waiters\u00a0or\u00a0waitresses\u00a0at restaurants in Taiwan.

Do you need to tip your bartender?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do You Tip At Bars, Lounges, or Nightclubs In Taiwan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is not necessary to tip bartenders in Taiwan at a bar, lounge, or nightclub since a\u00a0service fee\u00a0is already in the price of every drink. Tipping bartenders isn&#8217;t part of the local culture, so you don&#8217;t need to do it! If you want to tip to show your\u00a0gratitude\u00a0for\u00a0good service,\u00a0you can leave a\u00a0small tip, but it will be unexpected.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hotels_in_Taiwan\"><\/span><strong>Hotels in Taiwan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are staying in Taiwan, there are many hotels to choose from for every budget.

Tipping is not part of the local culture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/tipping-tour-guides-sri-lanka\/\">Tour guides<\/a> receive a salary based on the expectation of no tips. So while a few tipping websites might say that you should tip your tour guide, that&#8217;s not true. You don&#8217;t need to tip, period.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are tour guides who will be looking for tips from Western\u00a0tourists. If that&#8217;s the case, your tour guide is trying to fool you into paying more than what is customary in Taiwan. You don&#8217;t have to be one of the people who fall for this. Do as the\u00a0locals\u00a0do, and don&#8217;t tip your tour guide. Use the money saved on a\u00a0gratuity\u00a0at one of the\u00a0night markets\u00a0in\u00a0Taipei City\u00a0, or buy some\u00a0small gifts\u00a0for your family.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taxis_in_Taiwan\"><\/span><strong>Taxis\u00a0in Taiwan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Taxis\u00a0are a relatively inexpensive way to get around in Taiwan.
