Commute from Taipei to Luodong?

I recently got a teaching job offer in Luodong and I’m trying to figure out what daily life would realistically look like. One option I’m considering is commuting from Taipei, but I’m not sure how feasible that is long-term in terms of time, cost, and general quality of life. If anyone has experience with that commute please let me know!

I also wanted to ask more generally about living in Luodong as a foreigner. I’ve seen a lot about Taipei, but less about smaller cities like Luodong. I don’t want to come in with the wrong expectations, so I’m curious what’s the social scene like? Is it easy (or difficult) to meet people and build a community there?

I’m totally open to adapting and experiencing a quieter place, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit concerned about feeling isolated, especially compared to a bigger city like Taipei. I’d love to hear honest perspectives, both positives and challenges.

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
