    在台灣搭便車其實不算難,但是台灣人可能會因為怕自己英文不好而不敢幫忙。
    如果你們可以拿一張大的紙,寫上想去的地點,我相信搭便車會變得很容易與快速成功。
    祝你們在台灣旅途愉快~😊

    I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the man thinking that you didn’t have money for the trip to Puli and decided to drive both of you there ,Usually, in a city, it's hard to get a hitchhike, but if you’re in an area with no public transportation, Taiwanese people are very likely to help you . Even I have hitchhiked twice when I was in the mountains , BTW , Welcome to Taiwan ! :-)

Just such a treat to have you show up in my life every few weeks. Wishing you continued growth on your platform as you most certainly deserve it. Sending love from the West Coast of Canada.

    Wow~The Sun-Moon lake looks so beautiful and peaceful through your lens. Most of Taiwanese are willing to help others but we don't have confidence about our English and will be hesitate to come to you. Once people decide to come to you , means they will try hard to help you regardless the language barrier . Finally you met friendly people and friendly dog. : ) Welcome to Taiwan ! Enjoy~❤❤❤

    You're right. People in Taiwan(especially city) are unfamiliar with hitchhiking because of the convenient transportation.
    Taichung does have the best weather in Taiwan , Tainan and Kaohsiung are too hot in summer and Taipei are too cold and rainy for me.
    Amazing video by the way~ It gives relaxing vibe.

    the coastline, the half side green and half side of blue, both without limit in your eyes!!! :D
    You can also rent a motorbike near the train station (with your a valid IDP international driving permit) , and enjoy the wind between the mountains and the Pacific ocean :D~~~

    There is a saying in Taiwan: "Those who come are guests." If you are not treated well and do not eat well as a guest in Taiwan, then the Taiwanese people will feel sorry for the visiting guests. Accept the goodwill bombardment from the Taiwanese people! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💥💥💥

    I guess Taiwanese might not know this gesture for hitchhiking - it takes to much time so people usually won't do that. They might think that you are looking for a taxi. To show a card with your destination might be easier.

    Sending warm greetings from Taipei. Welcome and hope you enjoy every moment in your trip in this lovely island. Taiwanese are just so hospital and always willing to help you out there. Many people are not that familiar with hitchhiking and have no idea what that gesture means when passing by someone doing so on the streets. But I think if you reach out to most of the residents here with smile, and you could just let the magic happen. Usually things turned out unexpectedly pleasant! What goes around comes around. Thanks for your love for Taiwan and your insightful introduction. Hope everything goes very smoothly for your visit here. :)

    That was a tough test! You listed the facts about hitch-hiking in Taiwan but I would add that foreigners living in or just visiting Taiwan rarely try to hitch hike. So I guess most drivers who did not stop for you just felt puzzled when their car was moving past you and didn't bother to double back to ask what you needed. I would not be surprised if some did turn back, though.

    About 15 years ago, China allowed a large number of its citizens to travel to Taiwan, and Sun Moon Lake became a must-visit destination for them. Back then, the excessive commercialization for tourism caused some issues. Fortunately, in 2019, China unilaterally halted its travel channels to Taiwan, allowing Sun Moon Lake to gradually return to normal.
