Summary

Public nudity is against the law in Taiwan, but a group of naturists holds monthly events in remote areas where they can embrace nature without interference, organizing activities through social media. The naturists, ranging from 30s to 70s, attend these gatherings to promote body positivity and celebrate communal nudity, following rules to ensure a respectful and safe environment for all attendees.
