In a word, UnionPay cards are very useful for traveling in Taiwan Province Province. Moreover, different banks will have discounts when swiping cards overseas. For example, when I went in May, I swiped the UnionPay card of CCB and bought a watch in building 10 1. Soon after I came back, I received a sum of money. When I asked CCB, I said that there was a 5% refund activity for overseas credit cards, which was equivalent to another 9.5% discount.
