I think Taiwan has some awesome climates with wonderfully lush subtropical vegetation most places people live... it's hot and humid in summer but most places I imagine have A/C which is helpful. At least that is how it was when I was in Hong Kong which I imagine isn't all that different from cities in Taiwan.
Kaohsiung is the best climate in Taiwan IMO.
Not trying to be a dick here but is there some kind of (false) advertising campaign on Taiwan's tourism that I'm not aware of?
Taiwan's climate is similar to Hong Kong's climate, which is ****. Period. Yes it doesn't rain that much in Kaohsiung but it's almost always extremely hot and the pollution is horrifying.
Awesome climates exist in Spain and Australia, not here.

Horrifying?
There are at least 577 more polluted cities in the world than Hong Kong according to the World Health Organization.
I was talking about Kaohsiung, not Hong Kong, a city in Taiwan, not in China.
And the fact that there are a bunch of worse places does not mean that China isn't a polluted ****hole.
China is fairly average among developing countries when it comes to pollution and you were saying that Kaohsiung was similar to Hong Kong.
Many cities in places like Italy have worse pollution than Hong Kong. You havent provided evidence that Kaohsiung has worse air quality than Hong Kong either.

That means that developing countries are generally polluted ****holes, if anything.
And I said Taiwan's climate is like Hong Kong's, overall, not specifically Kaohsiung's.

That says more about Italy than Hong Kong.
Finally, I never claimed that Kaohsiung has worse air quality than Hong Kong.

It's not from an advertising campaign. I just love warm and hot climates. I have been to Hong Kong before in summer no less and went walking through the parks there. I did get a bit dehydrated but that was my own fault because I didn't bring enough water with me. I imagine Taiwan to be similar.
As for the rain, who cares. I live in Vancouver afterall which is a very rainy city.

Well if you like the heat then you'd probably enjoy it, I don't.
I think Taipei is just as rainy as Vancouver, if not more, which is really annoying.
