The video is amazing but you did make a slight mistake talking about the train itself - while it is japanese, this is a 17 year old series produced just for Taiwan. This is the THSR 700T - a derivative of the 700 series japanese New Main Line (Shinkansen) now retired (as the original would have been in service for maybe more than 30 years!). So yeah this doesn't compare to the japanese high speed trains anymore. Funnily enough, the japanese counterpart operated at a slightly smaller speed (about 15km/h less)
Love your video, btw fyi because I'm a train geek, yes the high speed train rolling stock that Taiwan use is from Japan and they also implement some Japanese standards on their high speed train, also currently is the only Japanese high speed train outside Japan. Btw I'm from Indonesia🇮🇩
@@JackTorr the chinese CRH2 trains were also originally imported from Japan and licensed for manufacture in china but they really do not like to admit it
@@JackTorrDon’t forget Japan copied the whole Chinese Tang Dynasty culture as “Japanese culture”. They copied technology from the west during Meiji Restoration. Noodles, dumplings, rice, rice wine, rice noodles, hotpot, chopsticks, tea, tea ceremony, soy sauce, bean curd, miso, paper folding art, weiqi, penzai, etc., all copied from China. Nara and Kyoto were copycat versions of the Chinese Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an, modern day Xi’an. Chinese lamian or pulled noodles becomes “Japanese ramen”. Hiragana is cursive Hanzi or Han Chinese characters, named after the Chinese Han Dynasty. Katakana is partial Han Chinese characters. Kanji is just the Japanese pronunciation of Hanzi. Koto copied the Chinese Guzheng or Chinese zither. Kimono copied different Chinese dynastic Hanfu or Han Chinese traditional clothes. Technology wise, Japan copied from the west. J-pop copied Hollywood. Portuguese tempuras becomes “Japanese tempura”. Indian curry becomes” Japanese curry”. American cartoon becomes “Japanese anime”. Chinese jiaozi becomes “Japanese gyoza”. Chinese lamian becomes “Japanese ramen”. Chinese chadao becomes “Japanese chado “. Chinese doufu becomes “Japanese tofu”. Cantonese char siu or barbecued pork becomes “Japanese chashu”. Cantonese siu mai becomes “Japanese shumai “. Chinese zhezhi becomes “origami”. Chinese penzai becomes “bonsai”. Chinese weiqi becomes “game of go “. I can go on and on and on. The most ridiculous Japanese cultural plagiarism is calling Peking duck “Japanese Peking duck”. Just imagine calling the Egyptian pyramid “Japanese Egyptian pyramid”. That’s how ridiculous that sounds. One of the Four Great Chinese Inventions paper becomes “washi “. Cantonese wok becomes “Japanese wok”. So when it comes to plagiarism and copycat, no one compares to Japan.
@@marsillinkow wrong, don’t come up with that bs about China getting their first HSR from Japan, however, China first introduction came from Germany which the Chinese made many improvements on the German system before their own home made HSR system came into being. The HSR system as a whole, is not any one country’s monopoly but a collaboration of technology transfers across borders and in the case with China’s current HSR system, it has invested many yrs of RD , trials & improvised many improvements to their HSR technology that we see today.
Actually vending machines on trains are quite typical on the intercity trains in Europe (at least in Germany on trains that don't have an onboard bistro/restaurant)
Please note that the Chinese title reads, "China's Incredible Japanese Bullet Train!". Meanwhile the English title reads: "Taiwan's INCREDIBLE Japanese Bullet Train!". Honoring your naming talent.
It’s weird to me that so many people celebrate The Indian Pacific, The Ghan and the Overland as success stories of Australian railways and services, yet as someone who lives in a township along where the line is services, and not getting any service, related or not, it’s just bizarre. We should be saying “$1800 for what a cruise ship on rails, instead of actual regular service?! What a travesty!”
Jack, I started watching your videos since this morning, I couldn’t stop watching more 🎉. You have articulated and crafted excellent videos with graphics animation . Keep exploring. It would be great if you make one video how you carry this big task of filming with a lot of gadgets ✅✅✅🤩🤩🤔🤔👍👍✅✅🇳🇵🇳🇵🇦🇺🇦🇺🌏🌏
They are not ripped off from Japan, they are brought from Japan, who sold their old stocks as new and the trains are losing money because of constant breaking down and needing expensive spares from Japan. In fact, Japan ripped them off.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT... Taiwan "COPIED" Japan??? Only the "USELESS" Chinese copied others. Taiwanese, like their American idols, are "Original Creators." Please get your fact right and stop INSULTING The Proud Taiwanese. 😊
@@Indian_Rajput Where is the Indian embassy in Taiwan PROVINCE of China, Indian bot? Where is the Taiwanese embassy in British Raj? I should say that to you “in you dream is Taiwan a “country””. Keep smoking the American weed, Japanese paid bot. But I know Goa is a country. Punjab is a country. Gujarat is a country. Hokkaido is a country. Okinawa is a country. Honshu is a country. Kyushu is a country.
its not a copy but built by Japanese companies for Taiwan.
Hope you enjoy your time in Taiwan, I’m glad you like it~
I’ve been on that THSR when I visited Taiwan. Excellent service and super quick. I also ride in business class and it wasn’t that much extra
Totally agree!

Ah, I see! Thank you so much for the info :)
@@JackTorr of course, I'm a heavy Japanese train geek behind the scenes. Also once again, your video is Rad with a capital R :)
You just touched the foot rest with your hands and then the fold down tray?? Whoa!
What does the heart mean? We’ll clean it up and editing or we won’t do it in the future? Seriously. A comment would be welcomed.

I could not find any other video about Taiwan on your channel.
Hope you enjoyed it!
taiwan my home for 14 yrs.but never try the bullet train because whenever we go to kaoshiung we travel by car with my employer.
Very cool technology experience train ride, interesting trip indeed, thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it

Where do you film the parts where you see the train running at its max speed?
Just a daily reminder that Taiwan is independent 🇹🇼❤
when？
I always call Taiwanese High speed train as Shinkansen that speaks mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka
It's actually 700 Shinkansen Series it's speed would be like 285-300
Please note that the Chinese title reads, "China's Incredible Japanese Bullet Train!". Meanwhile the English title reads: "Taiwan's INCREDIBLE Japanese Bullet Train!". Honoring your naming talent.
台湾人也是中国人
What was the maximum speed you achieved on the bullet train? Apologies if I missed that bit.
300 :)

Thanks for coming! Welcome :)

Thank you!
I love watching your travel videos 📸 looks so interesting
Thank you for the support!

Fun fact: Taiwan is also a first world country. 😂
They are not ripped off from Japan, they are brought from Japan, who sold their old stocks as new and the trains are losing money because of constant breaking down and needing expensive spares from Japan.
In fact, Japan ripped them off.
This is a mature product, the Taiwanese version of the high-speed train specially made by Japan for Taiwan.
Yes. Mature as in old chassis and engines dressed in new body.
Wtf

It's Japanese made. filled with Taiwanese(China) value.
That’s what I am saying :) it’s the Japanese design you can look it up, it’s just a play on words!
