Oh wow that's amazing.. I am planing a university exchange there but I am divided about which city should I pick to stay.. I was convinced about the capital but in the video it really looks like Kaohsiung is also really great... Can you give me a suggestion :)
Taiwan, as you said "a hidden gem" I had 28 days holiday over Christmas and new year in 2015/2016 in Taiwan, started in Taipei, train down to Kaohsiung, train up to Hualien, then on up to Keellung and back to Taipei, it was the nicest and most friendly place I have ever been to, the people are so helpful, and very friendly every where I went, your are made to feel welcome everywhere, in my mid 70s I have been to a few countries in my life, but Taiwan is the top of my list, I wished I had stayed for 3 months, an absolutely Wonderfull place with fantastic happy memories, travelled from the UK by myself but had a Wonderfull tour guide for the month, I thank you for posting this video it has a lot of information and its very accurate,
I lived in Taiwan very briefly and often dream of moving back. Your series makes me so happy! Thank you for taking the time and so much care to let others know about this wonderful, under-appreciated country.
Dave Ulrich why do you want to move back to Taiwan? I spoke to quiet a few Taiwanese in America and they hate Taiwan they never want to live there again.
Jeff Kuroda what a terrible lie My Canadian friends visited Taiwan and they even wanna immigrant there lol Your passport probably too weak that you need visa to enter the country
I'm glad to share You that I'm living here for more than a year n no doubt it's a one of best country in the world. The people, law n order, medical facilities, transportation, culture and tradition everything are much better than anywhere. I loved it...🇹🇼🇮🇳
Taiwan, my second home 😍😍😍, living here in almost 4years, I hope I stay here for a very long time. I love you Taiwan. Love from -Philippine foreign worker
That's so nice! We loved making all these videos in Taiwan. We visited the Philippines after visiting Taiwan! If you haven't seen those videos I think you'd enjoy them too :)
@@EileenAldis Hi, a perfect time to visit my second home is January to March, that is WINTER, I recommend you Taichung, QingJing Farm, Flower farm and Snow Mountain in NANTOU COUNTY.
@@Drinskie1990 Thanks for the tips and suggestions! I appreciate it :) We loved visiting the Philippines but of course there's so much to see. I guess we'll just have to go back... ;-)
I love their art zone on weekend. There are concerts, performances, exhibitions, art booths, small shops and cafe. Taipei is very modern in many ways but they still have a lot of old shops. It's not just chain.
Been here recently and wish that we could have stayed looooonger by watching this video! Taiwan is such an awesome place. Everyone is so accommodating and they really respect their rules and of course, their people. Safe and fun country with milk tea everywhere! :)
Thanks for tips for travel to Taiwan. I'm most impressed with the high speed trains. Imagine asking people to speak quietly to not disturb others. How civilized. Taiwan here I come!!
Yes! Come! The Taiwanese culture has been greatly influenced by Japanese culture, so lovely habits like lining up, not disturbing others and helping someone if they look lost are standard here.
Thank you! That's lovely to hear :) We loved visiting Taiwan and making our series there. Would love to come back as there's so much more to explore (and eat!)...
Thank you! We've recently made a brand new Taiwan series. Have you seen it? Here's the latest video where we're featured on Taiwan TV! bit.ly/taiwansongshan :)
Omg as a Taiwanese native I have to say your videos make me wanna have a domestic trip! Thank your for highlighting these tips and convenience that we take them for granted in Taiwan, which are helpful for the tourists!
As a Taiwanese expat living in the US I truly truly enjoy your videos about Taiwan/Taipei. So fun and local~ made me want to follow your tips and recommendations too!
I came to live in mainland China before going on holiday to Taiwan. Mainland what NOTHING like i expected it to be, Taiwan has way more of what I was expecting... does that make sense? Haha 😂
lchen not only about the words we use, but also the culture. for example, no religion and religious activity shall exist in mainland china due to the policies.
Thanks for making this video about Taiwan. Many travellers overlook this island of a hidden gem in Asia. The video shows great examples of what this island has to offer.
I am a Taiwanese and I LOVE your introduction video to Taiwan! You describe all the details that I don't even notice when I was in Taiwan. Hope more people watch this video and visit Taiwan 😊😊
Just a tip if it hasn't been covered, don't buy MRT tickets individually. Buy an Easy Card and load some money on it (I do it in 1000TWD increments). Then you don't have to get a ticket every time, and you can also use the card in various places like Family Mart, 7-11, etc as well as on the bus system and to rent U-Bikes to enjoy a ride around Taipei.
These travel tips are great and right on point. I wish I could say that the weather you experienced was atypical, but it's really not - the summer is seriously hot all the time and always way above 30 degrees (I don't know where they get that number from sometimes, it seems like they often forecast 30 degrees but then the actual max temp is higher every time. BUT... some people love it. My mum was one of those, and says she'd never visit in the winter - go figure!
Eileen Aldis yes I have one and that is don’t forget to buy a bottle of Apple Sidra when you feel the weather is very hot and it will make you feel much more cool.👍👍👍😄
welcome~ welcome everyone all over the world to visit taiwan .it's not just foods in taiwan, if u like hiking. definitely taiwan. there are 268 mountains which altitude over 3000 meters.
The efforts you put into this video are incredible ! You should have a million subscribers by now haha ❤️ thank you for the information you gave about Taiwan, I’m going there in a few months ! :)
Hey Olivia! Thank you so much! A million would be nice ;) That's exciting you're heading to Taiwan soon. We actually made a whole series there if you wanna see more videos before your trip: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist. Have a wonderful time! :)
Extra advice : - Buy a Easycard at a MRT station so you don't have to buy MRT tokens every time and you can use it in convenience store and to take the train for exemple. Topup at MRT stations and convenience stores - If you don't go to Taipei Main Station from the airport, you can take a bus, it is cheaper and well documented on Google Maps. - At the airport, ask at the information desk to have a iTaiwan account created. It gives you a free Wifi access in MRT, public monuments and many places in Taiwan.
The public transport is good as well, we used the trains, metro and buses a lot and don’t even speak the language!!! Works well with Google maps suggestions.
thanks for your positive feedback and thrilling experience of my country. I'm glad you both had a nice time. You're always welcomed to visit my nation and we look upon for your next arrival. Safe trips for your next destinations!
What a beautiful and thoughtful series of videos you created on Taiwan. Thank you for taking us along! Will look forward to your next travel destination. Would love to see you visit Antarctica.
That means a lot to hear - thank you very much! Both Marc and I would love to visit Antarctica and we actually talked about it in this video: bit.ly/2JAKyVT. It's the only continent we haven't been to and it's on our wish list!
Greetings to you in London! I love that city. Hope the video reminds you of home and brings nice memories :) We made a whole series about Taiwan if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist
Tip: When using the MRT trains, just buy an Easycard from the booth in every subway station. it's sooo much easier! don't bother messing around with tokens and tickets. You will however still need to buy a ticket when using the high speed rail (HSR)
- When you're at the airport, exchange your money there for NTD. They actually have some of the fairer exchange rates. - Get a SIM card while at the airport. It's much easier than getting a SIM card at a cell phone store (the process involves a lot of paperwork) - Use Google Maps to get around. They include the train and bus schedules which helps a ton. - Get that EasyCard and load it up at one of the machines. You can then not only use it to get on the MRT (and local trains!), you can pay for your purchases at 7/11 and Family Mart (no more coins for you!) - Taiwan food shops seem to shutdown between breakfast and lunch, so don't sleep in. - While the temp is better late/early in the year, bring some rain gear (or buy some from a scooter shop). I mainly go to Taiwan to ride around the country on a scooter (7+ day trips around the island), so if anyone is planning on doing that, feel free to ask me for those tips.
@@EileenAldis , am lucky to have some friends there . Going for the World Orchid Show , want to make the most of my time there . Not sure if I will get met at airport , MRT looks ok , got that from Sg , sliding doors etc :-)
@@scottgordon1781 I've never even heard of that show but I love orchids. Can only imagine how incredible that must be. Train from the airport is a great option if you don't get picked up. Have fun!
The reloadable East Card is definitely the way to go. No need to waste time getting tokens each time on the MRT. If you have any unused credits when you're about to leave, you can also use it to buy snacks and drinks at convenience stores.
Any excuse to get snacks and drinks at the convenience store sounds good to me :) The MRT is so great. So easy to get around everywhere. Loved the trains around Taiwan too.
Thanks so much! We made a lot of videos in Taiwan and I feel like you'd enjoyed one called Falling In Love With Taiwan too :) It's here if you're interested: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :)
You`re welcome! I ventured to Taiwan from Canada about 5 years ago to volunteer. This time though, I`m bringing with me my boyfriend and mother to show them around the beauty of Taiwan! Leaving in less than 2 weeks so super excited!!
Going to Taiwan in December for the 6th time! We had went in summer for the past 5 times for 2 months (each trip). And yes, you aren’t exaggerating, it’s HOT. Excited to go in winter!
I have been thinking about going back to visit lately and here you are with this wonderful video which prompted me to make a flight reservation for January of next year. Summer is always hot and humid there and I really hate the sticky feeling. It had been 10 years since I last visited; I can imaging things have changed a lot over there. I miss Taiwan so much. By the way, I love your video, love your demeanor, your sunny disposition and your clear and calm voice. I think you make a good tour-guide. Thank you for introducing this little piece of gem to the world.

Excellent video!! Informative and yes.... most touch screen interfaces have English!!! Amazing
👍
Thank you so much! I missed your comment at first (oops!) but I really appreciate your feedback! :)
Taiwan is my favorite place!
Cool! What's your favourite part about it?
I love their art zone on weekend. There are concerts, performances, exhibitions, art booths, small shops and cafe. Taipei is very modern in many ways but they still have a lot of old shops. It's not just chain.
Yes, I love the arts and culture focus as well :)
Aaaaahh i miss Taiwan😭What a under-apreciated country🇹🇼
We love Taiwan, as I'm sure you can tell from all the videos we made there! When were you there?
currently binge watching all your taiwan videos,i fell inlove with it...im here in taiwan now for so long but still have not explored much...
Been here recently and wish that we could have stayed looooonger by watching this video! Taiwan is such an awesome place. Everyone is so accommodating and they really respect their rules and of course, their people. Safe and fun country with milk tea everywhere! :)
Thanks for tips for travel to Taiwan. I'm most impressed with the high speed trains. Imagine asking people to
speak quietly to not disturb others. How civilized. Taiwan here I come!!
Yeah, I love the quiet atmosphere on trains in Taiwan. Easier to sleep or, more likely for us, get work done! ;)
Yes! Come! The Taiwanese culture has been greatly influenced by Japanese culture, so lovely habits like lining up, not disturbing others and helping someone if they look lost are standard here.
Great culture
I really enjoyed this one. The production value is top notch & your enthusiasm is infectious! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you! That's lovely to hear :) We loved visiting Taiwan and making our series there. Would love to come back as there's so much more to explore (and eat!)...
I love how you introduce Taiwan in such a simple and clear way! Thank you for making this awesome video, and welcome to Taiwan😍

If you've lived in Texas, then the weather is very similar, especially Houston in the summer time.
Ting Ting's Taiwan 婷婷的台灣 I heard from so many people that life in Taiwan is slow paced and very boring. What is your take on that?
Ting Ting's Taiwan 婷婷的台灣 if you come here in autumn or winter, it’s not always above 30 degrees
Never felt hot anywhere in Asia ever...but look where I am from...

Thank you! Yes, hopefully it will be helpful to people thinking about visiting or planning a trip :) Do you have any other tips you'd want to share?

hahah well you already know I think that's a FANTASTIC tip! ;)

Tip: When using the MRT trains, just buy an Easycard from the booth in every subway station. it's sooo much easier! don't bother messing around with tokens and tickets. You will however still need to buy a ticket when using the high speed rail (HSR)
I like that they have different options!
- When you're at the airport, exchange your money there for NTD. They actually have some of the fairer exchange rates.
- Get a SIM card while at the airport. It's much easier than getting a SIM card at a cell phone store (the process involves a lot of paperwork)

- Get that EasyCard and load it up at one of the machines. You can then not only use it to get on the MRT (and local trains!), you can pay for your purchases at 7/11 and Family Mart (no more coins for you!)
- Taiwan food shops seem to shutdown between breakfast and lunch, so don't sleep in.
- While the temp is better late/early in the year, bring some rain gear (or buy some from a scooter shop).
I mainly go to Taiwan to ride around the country on a scooter (7+ day trips around the island), so if anyone is planning on doing that, feel free to ask me for those tips.

Where do you live now? Have you seen the rest of our Taiwan videos? bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist I hope they bring back good memories :)
Okyy謝謝你朋友
Thank you for promoting Taiwan! Enjoy your trip!
Thank you! :)
thanks for this super helpful video! :)
Going to Taiwan in December for the 6th time! We had went in summer for the past 5 times for 2 months (each trip). And yes, you aren’t exaggerating, it’s HOT. Excited to go in winter!
Wow, that's awesome! You've seen a lot of Taiwan! I also want to go in the winter next time though haha ;) Have fun!
The best way to use public transportation here is buying an "easy card" (100 NTD) in any convenience store, where you can also refill it
I have been thinking about going back to visit lately and here you are with this wonderful video which prompted me to make a flight reservation for January of next year. Summer is always hot and humid there and I really hate the sticky feeling. It had been 10 years since I last visited; I can imaging things have changed a lot over there. I miss Taiwan so much. By the way, I love your video, love your demeanor, your sunny disposition and your clear and calm voice. I think you make a good tour-guide. Thank you for introducing this little piece of gem to the world.
Welcome back.
