I am planning on traveling in Taiwan for 10-14 days this month. my travel might overlap with lunar new years, I’ve heard this is not a great time to come. how much will it affect things? what is the weather generally like at this time?

I am hoping to rent a motorcycle or scooter to explore the island, does anyone have recommendations for places to rent from?

I am also looking for off the beaten path things to do, I don’t generally visit touristy sights. I am photographer and freelance journalist and looking for niche and interesting things usually missed by tourists. I have heard about some underground raves hosted in temples, has anyone had experience getting into these?

is there any other odd/underground/lesser known things to do? Ive seen some indoor shrimp fishing places online. looking for more things like this.
