The house with the building material exposed is called 塗墼厝, which is built with mud bricks, with straws mixed in. There is another kind of traditional building in Beipu called 箅仔壁, which is built with mats weaved together with strips of bamboo.
4:58, some of the wall, could be made of mixture of mud, and rice/rice husk/leaf, not kidding. Taoyuan county used to have lots of these old buildings, this is due to steel, concrete were rare. Luckier and more wealthier will get good quality clay- clay which you make kitchenware/china with, otherwise just ordinary mud
15:36 number 3 highway, through Hakka settlements in Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli has alot of these washing places, and they wash everything, from laundry, to fruit/vege/food and yes the water are fresh thats why you get to see shrimp :) I used to catch them for fun :) there are eels present as well. Since 20 years ago, they starting to preserved these washing area, particularly a lot around Longtan District in Taoyuan
the green mango is the oldest breed of taiwan, u can say that is original mango of taiwan. now it is used to make as frozan mango shoot due to its sour flavor before it becomes ripe.
The fruit looks like 'kedondong' in Malaysia and Indonesia. It has a very sour taste and is usually blended into kedondong drink. Local Chinese in Malaysia calls it as 沙梨。
@@AsiaHikelopedia Buah Kedondong is very common here in Malaysia. Most families plant a tree of buah kedondong at the backyard of the house or by the roadside. We pound the fruit together with dry anchovies and chlli or blend the fruits to make juice.
Hi Richard It seem you are out and about exploring parts of Taiwan and seem that you are enjoying it. Good idea to bring a folding bicycle with you. Luckily you brought your wife's bicycle that have a 6 speeds gear. You are still looking great.
Hi Richard! That's a great video on the rustic town 北埔, full of historical information. That's why I enjoyed your videos so much. Thanks. Oh I have to point out something that you mention at 1:55 of your video. You mentioned the cooperation between 漢人 and 客人. I think you are referring to 福建人 and 客人。漢人 actually refers to the major ethnic group of the Chinese that comprises of various dialects groups including 福建人 (the main dialect group of Taiwan's Chinese), 客人, 潮州人, etc.
Wow, liked the bit of history and also the nice cool springs! We needed that now😓. Of course we can take a dip in the "springs" here, but will probably be invited for a "coffee session" and made to pay an "entrance fee" for our venture! 🤣.
Nice video always since in Singapore, hope you could do a vid on your Brompton tour preparation, ie tools, gears, bags or even snacks. Thanks a million in advance buddy.
Thank you for sharing so informative contents about Taiwan. I also increasingly like your channel as I can learn how to narrate our tourist sites in English.
Great work, Richard! Hi, Pinkie! I feel so ashamed, as a Hakka grown up in the city, I got so little knowledge about my origin… Next stop, Guan Xi (關西) I suppose? Happy weekend to you and your family!
Hi Richard, nice traditional well preserved town. Can you please elaborate how to get there on public transport and how to get about town. If there is a bike rental, plus any nice local B&B. Enjoyed it very much as usual and see you again next week.
Lol....I remember number 3 highway, the highway link Kaohsiung/Pingtung via the mountain area through to Taipei that go right through Beipu, it's a lot easier now with freeway there, number 3 highway back in mid/early 80s was horribly windy, dad used to drive along this highway from Taoyaun to Hsinchu via Beipu and I used to get car sick and throw up along the way, somehow that difficult path and not so easily accessible has helped preserved the buildings in area from over development.
Wondering how u explore Taiwan by bike as it is a much bigger island. I would have thought that u would use '小棉羊' instead. You are the real '历史哥'. I am sure the taiwanese people will benefit from this video. Enjoy !
@@AsiaHikelopedia In the video, you were pushing the bike all the way. Guess the terrain was not conducive for cycling. Like the history videos by 金素梅 also.
@@AsiaHikelopedia Sorry, I did watch the whole episode (as usual). What I meant was, did you saviour any hakka cuisine (typical hakka food)?. Thanks kindly!
@@philipchai9107 I didn't go for a meal as I was alone. Although last week my family and some friends went to Beipu for lunch and it was really good. We also made our own Hakka lei cha (擂茶, pictures on my instagram) which tasted great. So I may go back again and film it as it was so nice!
I did (see my Instagram) although I didn't film it as I was with family and friends (they are shy). I may go back again and film it at a later date because it is very special and also very nice to drink.
影片那房子是台灣過去鄉間常見俗稱「土埆厝」的老房子，有時又叫做「牛結厝」，正是因為蓋房子的時候會加入牛糞作為建材，好處是冬暖夏涼、讓房子更堅固耐久，牛糞早期可以蓋房子，又可以當燃料
謝謝！
對，好久沒聽到這個名詞，真懷念，老家有一間房也是這種材質，拆除前幾年，牆面開始凋零，小孩的拳頭也能打碎一小角了，我還記得土角屋裏面混著石塊，北埔很好玩，我也很喜歡，我覺得最有趣的是擂茶。
@@AsiaHikelopedia Have you tried Hakka Lei Cha or Hakka Tea rice in Beipu ?
我是新竹竹東的客家人，「土埆厝」我們客家話叫[泥磚屋]。您說的沒錯，會加入牛糞作為建材，也會加入乾稻管增加堅硬度!
@@李魚-n3v 我是新竹竹東的客家人，關於客家擂茶，十幾年前我特別去問了我奶奶，因為擂茶的製作與材料，應該要是家裡相對富裕者才會使用。我奶奶的姊妹與哥哥在日本時代都是念到大學與高中，所以我想我奶奶應該有使用過擂茶，呵呵!!但我奶奶說從來沒有看過!!後來才知道大陸開放探親，有人回到當初的大陸祖地，看到了擂茶又把它帶回台灣。所以台灣的客家人並沒有使用雷茶。可能再渡海來臺灣求生存時，根本沒辦法帶著很重的茶缽，或者根本在大陸祖弟很窮，也沒有辦法享受到擂茶。對於擂茶我問過好多老人家，都是告訴我以前從來沒有喝過!!我也是!!!呵呵!!!
Very interesting film style and history!
Thanks!
15:20的果實是橄欖，會做成蜜餞，也可以烤來吃，小時候跟著小夥伴們烤來吃過，蠻好吃的。
Cảm ơn Anh nhiều lắm luôn 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 thank you so much my dear friend
Love this exploration! Full of nature, historical sites, interesting buildings and yummy snacks!
Glad you enjoyed
15:24 You know the water is clean when there's a shrimp in the water. :)
北埔老街真的很美！值得一遊。

Thanks! I'm in Beipu today and am having the mixed bean curd pudding that you recommended. It's good!
That's good to hear!
秋冬泡溫泉，夏天泡冷泉、讚👍！
Taiwan seems to be a very good place to visit ! thank you for sharing
It really is!

台灣已經連續七天沒有本土確診病例 所以你上山 下海 或到人煙稀少的地方不用戴口罩了
很棒的影片
🚲🚲👍👍
爬山現在不用戴！Yay！
one of my favorite countries, Taiwan. Love the sceneries there and the people there.
Interesting vlog, Richard. The dessert snack you ate is, I think, Eight Treasures. I ate it at AMK Central hawker centre. 🤗
Thanks. It's very similar, and very yummy!

The house is made by clay which mixed with rice husk, rice stalk, and few steamed sticky rice. It is so amazing, right?
Yes. Very cool and sustainable!

Thank you for your video.It’s very entertaining.
Thank you too
臺灣與新加坡最大相異，臺灣有多樣地理風貌，多樣種族文化！人民相容、相安、兼容並蓄，讚👍！
仙草也好吃，有仙草凍、燒仙草、仙草燉雞⋯仙草有多種吃法，讚👍！
Hi Richard
It seem you are out and about exploring parts of Taiwan and seem that you are enjoying it. Good idea to bring a folding bicycle with you. Luckily you brought your wife's bicycle that have a 6 speeds gear.
You are still looking great.

建議你也可以去苗栗的南庄老街，那邊有神仙谷瀑布，和觀魚步道和其它的一些景點
I’m looking forward to your videos now. Likes the calm & peaceful vibes. Greeting from Singapore.
Nice video always since in Singapore, hope you could do a vid on your Brompton tour preparation, ie tools, gears, bags or even snacks. Thanks a million in advance buddy.
Thanks for the idea!

Your video is so enjoyable, That shot from the sky was great. Seems like a nice place to cycle there.
貪食沼蝦(Macrobrachium lar)或過山蝦
Thank you for sharing the film! 😄
Thank you for watching!
Beipu looks like a must see
It is a nice place.
14:40 I think its loquat - a popular fruit in Taiwan
Hope to visit this amazing city after pandemic 😍 thanks for sharing your experience with us 🙏
You should!
Lol, I was just telling my son, your fan too, Richard got a new bike!! Hehe
Taiwanese olive, very good for stomach. many ways of making it for eating.
甜柿、柿餅，都超級好吃！
沒錯
Great work, Richard! Hi, Pinkie!

最近剛開播的影集《茶金》就是以姜阿新的故事改編，是關於新竹北浦的故事。
超喜歡你的影片，到了台灣各個角落了解了當地的歷史～
謝謝。 我很想看！
電視上是公視13台每週六晚上九點到十一點～
Bike has New Color!
It's my wife's. I explain why at the end.
Going into a public spring with your shirt on is unusual.
I'm shy!
Good morning Richard! Looks like mango... I think..
That's what I thought originally, but mangos hang down from the branch on long stems. It's a 沙梨橄攬 according to a Taiwan viewer.
深秋天氣涼了，冷泉一般人泡不了。
6:49 - OoOoO looks like Cheng Tng (清汤) in Singapore .. 😁
Very similar to Cheng Ting.
You should consider painting your Brompton pink as well :)
I like green better!
superb documentary 👍🏻Richard.
Glad you think so!
Beautiful place, thank you for sharing! Jealous!
Thanks for watching!

Always wonderful to be able to explore a new place with you! Very grateful for this! : )
new bike!
edit: oh I just watched the part that you said you bought it for the missus.

If it's far I drive or take the train first. Although I'm planning some longer distance trips too!

Nice tour of Beipu! So much history and nice scenary! I wish we have cold springs in SG! Were you cycling and operating the drone at the same time?
Yes I was! Not recommended. I only did it cause the road was wide and had no traffic!
like your trip ! :)
that shrimp's life is in number.....
Mr Richard, did you eat any hakka delights at Beipu? Cheers!
I did, watch to the end.

看來這個豆花蠻好吃的，連老外都說讚
Do you notice there's a caterpillar on your hat on the outro 😂😂🐛🐛🐛
Thanks. I noticed while editing. It's not the first time either!
where is the Bristh Green folding bike?
At home. It's not built for hilly terrain!
沒想到你的小布还是台变色龍!
谢谢你所介绍的台湾古厝历史和风土民情!🥰💕
是太太的！不客氣。
5:59: have you been keeping in touch with songs frm the Red Dot recently? :)
I haven't. Why?
More brompton tours.
In planning!
下次可以去拜訪12寮
u at Taiwan already. I m Hakka.
Yes I am!
New bicycle?
Nope. Watch to the end to learn why!
Is Taiwan open up for travellers?
You didn’t try 擂茶at 北埔？？
I did (see my Instagram) although I didn't film it as I was with family and friends (they are shy). I may go back again and film it at a later date because it is very special and also very nice to drink.
@@AsiaHikelopedia
我非常愛擂茶。不僅過程非常有趣有意義(*), 事實上也是養生好物。
*客家人上山或是工作時候衍生出來的食品。因為古代農忙，帶一堆肉菜飯等等上山不是每次都方便，所以擂茶這樣的點心類，比較方便且補充體力。
你是從新竹騎腳踏車🚴去北埔嗎？需要騎很久吧！
我有騎過幾次。但拍攝的時候比較不方便，我從北埔騎到內大坪來回而已。
北埔冷泉,大家都在泡腳,只有你整個身體下去,你當然會覺得嘔心^^
😂
That fruit looks like an unripe loquat, bud. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loquat
It does look similar, but I've been told it is 沙梨. Loquats are grown further south in the tropical areas, such as Taidong I believe.
Definitely is mango not Olive i think
小布的顏色變了
這台是太太的嗎
是的!
👍👍👍👍👍❤💘🧡😎 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t know how to buy you coffee. 😀
