Taiwanese naturists defying social and legal norms
while nurturing body positivity
From Planet Nude
Strictly speaking, public nudity is against the law in Taiwan. But one
group holds monthly events where they can bare all without outside
interference.
In the mountains of Miaoli county, about an hour-and-a-half drive from
Taipei, a group of friends have rented out all eight bedrooms and the
lobby of a bed and breakfast. It's a fairly remote area of Taiwan,
surrounded by forest and 40km (25 miles) from Miaoli's central railway
station.
It's where the group can embrace nature without any
interference from the outside world, and here, that's important; because
here, everyone is naked.
Strictly speaking, public nudity is
against the law in Taiwan, as it is, for the most part, in the rest of
Asia. And while Taiwan is known to be among Asia's most progressive
places -it voted in the island's first female president in 2016 and
legalized same-sex marriage in 2019'-there are no private nude resorts or
nude beaches, although there are some hot springs where nudity is
allowed.
Naturism -as the practice is known'-is more common in
Europe, where Freikörperkultur ("free body culture") has been an
accepted and celebrated part of German society since the late 19th
century.
In Britain and in other parts of the world, the term
naturist is usually preferred over nudist because the former also
encompasses a love of nature.
According to the International
Naturist Federation, headquartered in Austria and the largest such
organisation in the world, naturism "isn't sexual" and is rather "a way
of life in harmony with nature characterised by the practice of communal
nudity with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for
others and for the environment".
In Taiwan, naturists call
themselves tiāntǐ in Mandarin, meaning "celestial bodies", and organise
activities using their Line social-media app group "Return to Nature",
which currently counts 260 members.
The subculture was introduced
to the island in the mid-to-late 2000s and flourished as social media
allowed people to network online. To continue reading, click
