Magong easily, for being subtropical and having the driest summers of the bunch. Surprised at how decent it is. Flip the precipitation pattern and it's near ideal  |

I guess Taichung. Those wet Alishan summers are ridiculous but the temps are definitely the best in that climate. Keelung must have major mold and mildew problems.  You forgot Yushan though! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu_Shan#Climate |

Until you see 'em ( the climate boxes ) all lined up, you don't realize how good the climate of Taiwan actually is !
Classic Asian monsoons, cooler dry seasons that still get a bit of rain which likely keeps the island on the green side year round.
central highland with heavy snows for the polar foamers.....
I wanna tick all the boxes, alas can only vote for one....Kaohsiung City

Alishan for being the only place with decent temperatures, despite the shit sunshine and rain.
Weird how no one lives in the highlands, the only region suitable for human inhabitation. Guess Taiwanese people are just too sensitive to cold weather.
Also funny how everyone makes fun of the British Isles for being rainy and dull, even though Taiwan and several equatorial locations are rainier and get less sunshine.

All of these climates are shitty but Magong seems to be the least unpleasant.
Keelung has an unusual precipitation pattern. It's almost Mediterranean lol.

You can't really have large populations in highlands without flat areas with good soil... Voted Taichung due to the lack of winter chilliness and the slightly less oppressive rainy season compared to Kaohsiung. |

At high latitudes, the sun angle is lower and it gets dark easily. A tropical cloudy day isn't as dark as a temperate/subpolar cloudy day. Even sunny days in tropical areas are much brighter. |

I vote for Taichung because Magong is deathly humid, and Taichung is the most balanced of the remaining contenders.

Magong, least rainfall, thanks to a double rainshadow, from both the mountains of the Main Island as well as the island that it's on

Sunny days in tropical areas are brighter, but in my experience, cloudy days in tropical areas are also darker than in temperate regions. That’s because the clouds in tropical regions are usually much taller, just compare the cumulonimbus (cloud type from tropical regions) with the nimbostratus (cloud type from temperate regions), the cumulonimbus extends further higher into the sky. Tropical clouds are also darker in my experience. |

Magong
Altogether the most temperate, without a washed-out wet season. Probably quite comfortable.

In Darjeeling, India, the average UV index during the wet season is 15 despite the cloudiness and rain. |
