Anti-Extradition Law Protests in Hong Kong Intensify as China Restricts Independent Travel from 47 Cities to Taiwan

By / Scenic Spots Home News Report

Around 100,000 mainland Chinese tourists visit Taiwan independently each month, with an estimated loss of NT$20 billion in tourism revenue from August to December. The Taiwan hotel industry has also been affected, along with taxi drivers and tour bus operators in popular tourist areas such as Jiufen, Jinguashi, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake.

In addition, following the announcement restricting independent travel from mainland China to Taiwan, some have offered alternative interpretations. For instance, some believe that Taiwan has become one of the few places in the world without mainland Chinese tourists, which might actually attract more global visitors. Hong Kong celebrity Denise Ho, for example, thinks now is the best time to visit Taiwan for tourism and highly recommends Taiwanese braised pork rice.

Regarding the ongoing anti-extradition movement, activists have called for a general strike on August 5. Travelers planning to visit Hong Kong in the near future should stay updated on the local situation.
