Even during mid dec, Taiwan weather also very mild.. ~ 18C to 25C.. Only Jan & Feb, occasionally temp can drop to below 10C but that also rare..Most of the time ~ 10C- 16C in Jan & Feb.

The best time- Nov-Dec or Mar-early may. for mild weather of 18C-14C..

Bring along some USD. But changing in town might be challenging as I don't see currency exchanger much.

i just got back yesterday, Bank of Taiwan in Teipei city does currency exchange with NO commission. Sgd, RM NOT accepted. preferred Usd, Aud. Hkd & others.

Tauyan arrival hall on renovation now, only 2 currenct exchange counters available. for better rates you may go to departure hall instead, many counters there.

Advisable to go with USD/AUD notes in your wallet.
