Due to high accommodation costs and similar items sold at night markets, domestic travel in Taiwan has long been criticized by locals, leading many to prefer traveling abroad. A recent traveler to Okinawa in Japan was surprised to find Taiwanese tourists everywhere, speaking Chinese with a Taiwanese accent almost everywhere he went, leading him to believe there were more Taiwanese tourists in Okinawa than in Kenting. Netizens offered explanations such as 'people with no money choose to travel abroad,' 'Okinawa flights are currently cheap,' and 'Kenting hotels are expensive,' contributing to the increasing trend of Taiwanese traveling to Okinawa.
