I never leave comments but as a Taiwanese American, I just want to let you know that your videos are so great and thorough, you guys really researched the culture and things to do in every district. I am so excited to watch all of the Taiwan videos. By the way the bun is called Gua Bao.
Wow, thank you! It means a lot to us to get kind comments like yours!! :D Taiwan was such an amazing place, we tried to cover it as well as possible because we noticed there were not many videos on it! And thank you!! Now I know the proper name!! hahaha.
Although it rained later, you may feel a bit of a disappointment, but in fact, your smiles make up for everything. Watching your videos makes me feel good! That TTEOKBOKKI is Korean Fried Rice Cake, Alan said that similar to mochi is the rice cake, which is indeed a kind of rice product! You are the most elegant and lovely TH-camrs I have ever seen, thank you so much for sharing such a great video! 👍🤩👏
The rain can be hard to film in, but it was very beautiful! Especially with all of the city lights!! 😍 Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! It means a lot to us to get comments like yours!! 🤗
Ohh that makes sense!! It was very cool when we went, next time we will have to stop by to see what else they have going on! Thank you for telling us! :D
often watch this type of channel, Undoubtedly you are my favorite and most looking forward to recently ❤ The combination of the husband and wife is simply perfect 😊
So glad you visited Bao'an Temple! It's by far my favorite temple in Taipei. It's quieter and more ornate than Longshan Temple. By the way, I also love Longshan Temple, with all its special shrines in the back dedicated to different gods, so people go there to pray for love, health, academic success, and many other things.
Love how you taste the elegance and sophistication of this city...leisurely and not in a hurry...Compared to others who come and go in a hurry, they really miss too much... The temple culture in Taiwan is very rich and diverse, because Taiwan has deep religious beliefs, everyone has their own beliefs, and because of the influence of Chinese culture and Japanese culture, Taiwan has absorbed a very deep oriental cultural heritage... The movement of throwing the red, half-moon-shaped small wood is commonly seen in temples in Taiwan. It is called "pua̍h-pue." in Taiwanese... This movement is to move forward before extracting the will of the gods. If you pay attention... in Taiwanese temples, especially Taoist temples, in front of the altar for gods, there will be a tube-shaped object filled with thin sticks made of dozens to a hundred bamboo sticks. There are engraved numbers on it, or 60 groups of chronological numbers composed of 60 Chinese celestial stems and earthly branches... When believers want to ask the gods about things, or want to know something, solve confusion, and ask the gods for help, people will first take the two red half-moon-shaped wood chips and ask the gods if they can help? Or help answer? When these two half-moon-shaped pieces of wood are thrown on the ground...if one is positive and the other is reversed, it means that the gods agree with you to carry out the next procedure...if both sides show positive protrusions, it means that they disagree; If it is flat, it means that the situation is not clear, or the gods do not want to answer, or the information you gave is not enough... When you get the situation of one head and one head, you can take the bamboo branches placed on the table, beside the table, or in the tube. Of course, you must choose randomly, not deliberately... When you take one of them Zhi, you can take this bamboo branch to the gods again, ask again, and determine whether this is the intention and decision of the gods? In some temples, there are many worshippers... If everyone takes a lottery, then the probability will be reduced, so the temple will suggest that people memorize the words and the year on the bamboo branch... Generally speaking, you have to throw the half-moon-shaped piece of wood again to confirm to the god whether the number and year on the bamboo piece in your hand are His will? Generally speaking, experienced people will strongly throw three half-moon-shaped wood chips in a row to more strictly confirm the will of the gods... Usually a person is asking about life, health, career, lawsuits, major life crises and important events When the time comes, it will be stricter to obtain three consecutive one positive and one negative. As long as the continuity is interrupted once, people will start again to obtain another bamboo piece... If you have been unable to succeed, it means that something is preventing you from communicating with God, or the time has not come...you can choose to give up and come back at another time. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----- Of course, you have obtained it three times, or you have only obtained the approval of the gods once, and you have confirmed that the long bamboo piece in your hand is the meaning of the gods, you can go to a box or cabinet next to the hall, and there will be There are wooden boxes made up of sixty or one hundred small drawers, and each small drawer contains printed poems and words, which will show the answers you want... These poems are usually It is composed of extremely profound and wise, even amazingly truthful words...Sometimes, you can understand and get enlightenment as soon as you read these verses...Some are more esoteric, you can take one of the poems, go to the side of the temple, and please enter the temple People, to solve your doubts for you... This culture is the most interesting one among the divination cultures of all temples in the entire East, including China, Japan, and Taiwan... Some temples are especially famous for certain divination effects...such as lawsuits, obstacles, health, marriage, love...etc;
Thank you!! Taiwan is a fabulous city and definitely deserves more notoriety! It would definitely be hard to see Taipei in just a few days! :) Thank you for sharing more about the pua̍h-pue!! We really appreciate you taking the time to explain and share more about things that we may not have learned about without you! It is very interesting to us and a pleasure to learn more about it!
@@IfWeGoTo You're welcome! Taiwan is indeed an interesting island country, political, geo-military, and its grievances with other Asian countries... haha. In many ways, Taiwan is a bit like the world, especially that node in the spider web of Asia, if you pull it, the whole of Asia will shake...Taiwan retains a kind of power like a key... For example, traditional Chinese is a necessary thing to open up China's 5,000-year history, culture and art, and it is more valuable than simplified Chinese; the colonial culture retained by the Japanese Empire in Taiwan was almost wiped out in Asian countries after World War II, but it was preserved in Taiwan like a unique species... Another point is more complicated. On a small island, there are more than 20 languages at the same time... (Chinese, Taiwanese, Hakka, minority languages of more than a dozen ethnic groups, languages of immigrants...etc.)... These people with different backgrounds are compressed here... Constantly shaping the culture of this island... Just like Taiwan is the junction of the ocean plate and the land plate... The place is undeniably captivating, detailed and subtle, rich and deep… I hope you have the opportunity to come back to this home again, and use your keen eyesight and elegant figure to see more of the unknown world of this island country for us...
Thank you for your videos of Taiwan!!❤ It’s great to watch when I miss home. I love how you guys travel with so much detail!! Paying respects to all the different districts in Taiwan. You guys get it all! The food, the history, and the culture. I especially love how open you guys are in trying all the local foods and happy to see how you enjoy them and even when you don’t (stinky tofu) 😂. Keep up with the amazing content!!
Ahh thank you for watching them! So glad you have enjoyed the videos - this was probably our favorite series to make and we miss Taiwan so much! Where have you moved to?
Thank you for another insightful video with solid information about local history. ( about the red light district and prostitution). Yes, the Lungshan temple in WanHua is the one to visit and pray for what seems to be missing in your life. Chances are your prayers will be answered as it is the most visited sacred temple. I would like to see Brandi and Alan revisit the temple with the rain in the future if there is a repeat.
Thank you! We are so happy that you enjoyed it - and that we got the history right this time!! hahaha. Ohhh that would be very cool to do, when we head back to Taiwan we will have to make a stop there again!
Ximenting’s layout was designed by built by Japanese more than 100 years ago. Some shorter buildings hidden behind the billboards may be more than 100 year old too. It is considered older part of the city, but the young people like to hang out there … since more than 100 years ago. The area was full of theaters already in 1920s and 1930s. For example, 14:55 the building is new, but the same location had a modern theatre built in 1920. The new commercial building now even uses its original name “New World” 新世界.. the same name used more than 100 years ago.
The Taipei Expo Park you guys went was one of the area used to held Int’l Floral Expo in 2022! Btw,FYI Bao An temple is actually 「保安宮」in mandarin! It’s interesting that temple in Mandarin Chinese can be both 寺 宮
Oh that is really cool! It would have been awesome to see the flower expo sometime too! Oh so it is a palace and not a temple? Unfortunately we do not know how to read (or speak!) Chinese! So I am not sure if the translator is accurate
No, Int’l Floral Expo was held in Taipei in 2012, not 2022. That might be a typo. "宮" can be either a palace or a temple. 保安宮 (Dong Baoan Temple) is definitely a temple, not a palace.
I like your video. I love Yehliu野柳 geopark in northern Taiwan. There are many beautiful stones there, the ocean is also very blue. Recommend to you.😊😊😊😊
❤Love love ur videos ~ I never get tired of watching them over and over again~I even stayed over night to watch u guys eating ~ so starving😂. You guys are so lovely and beautiful .🎉
The entering way of The Chinese tradition is Left side for entering and Right side for way out. Left : High Mountain and Noise for green dragon , Right : Low place and quiet for white Tiger.
Taiwan is the country with the highest density of religious buildings. It includes Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and other multi-religion.
Tip: While you entering into a temple, always used the Right Door (so-called Dragon Gate). Entering from Dragon Gate as to request the blessing from the Deities and also to so-called "cleanse" oneself physical body/mind/soul. And Exit from the Left Door (Tiger Gate) of the temple. (Which if you are inside the temple that will be the door in your right hand corner) After going out from here, all your so-called "Bad Luck" will be retained by the Deities and "Good Luck" will be blessed on you. Also, never use the door in the middle because that is the pathway for gods. Fact: The painting on the doors is not just a artwork, they are gods of door (guardian of the temples) ,they keep the spirits and the demons outside of the temples
I am Asian , welcome to travel in Asian countries , Tokyo Japan , Seoul Korea , Shanghai China , Hong Kong , Taipei Taiwan , Manila Philippines , Bangkok Thailand , Kuala Lumpur Malaysia , Singapore , Jakarta Indonesia
Confucian temples are only more austere when compared to the other temples 😂 I can’t wait to see your section on Tainan. Did you go to the Confucius temple there? It was first built in 1665! Taiwan is the first and so far only Asian country with gay marriage! It’s still not completely accepted or understood but hey, I’m glad they’re making strides with it.
Hahaha that is definitely the truth! We did go to see it in Tainan, but we arrived to late to go inside!! We'll have to visit again one day to do it properly! Agreed! Coming from a place where it is widely accepted, it is good to see it becoming more normalized elsewhere!
@@IfWeGoTo You guys did great! I enjoy your Chanel and love that Tea trip. To be able to see the beauty through your lance, I should feel so very fortunate! Thank you so much for sharing!
@@BeautifulThingBoutiq Ahh thank you! The tea trip was one of our favorite things we did!! It seems like we have similar interests!! :) Thanks for watching and your kind comments!!
Hi!! We have actually been to Greece before in 2018 - Athens and Santorini!! :) This was way before we started a youtube! We've really been wanting to visit again, we loved it! We've been trying to visit around summertime, but just haven't been able to between covid restrictions and then we have had a close family member struggling with their health that comes first! Do you think there is another warm time of year we should consider going?
Just wondering if Alan’s pants are too tight for him 😅 nice video of your temple visit by the way. I’m glad you guys didn’t try the snake 🐍 because it seems creepy 😱
@@IfWeGoTo I really enjoy your videos but having a snake brutally killed for entertainment, views, likes and all other sorts of things is just so wrong and the practice will continue. Please be considerate of the animal. thank you!
@@riekster6901 Hi there... We appreciate you looking out for animals, but did you actually watch the video? We didn't eat the snake... That said, so long as the animal isn't abused, prone to disease, or pulled from the wild - is it much different from eating *any* farmed animal? That's why we're not necessarily against eating something like snake. (And we have consumed other reptiles before.) Whether or not to consume meat is a debate on its own (and we generally choose to because while traveling it IS part of experiencing other places), but to imply we would have an animal killed just for the purpose of a video is a bit offensive though.... we'd never do that.
Wow I just went to Longshan Temple and Ximending today. Usually there's a farmer market right where you are in the video beside Yuanshan Station, but there could be other kinds of market too. Taiwan is gay-friendly, the first and only Asian country that legalizes gay marriage. But there's almost no gay district in Taiwan. I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with Confucianism and sexual conservatism. 228 Peace Memorial Park was a dark place for gays to secretly linger around at night decades ago, when homosexuality was a taboo.
Oh ok! That's cool that they have a mix of markets!! Yeah we had read about that! It's really cool that Taiwan is setting the stage for elsewhere. I know some countries in Asia are allowing it but are still quite conservative, I'm sure with time there will continue to be more districts and places that pop up! Had no idea about that in 228! Very interesting bit of local knowledge, thank you for sharing!
Hi!! No, we didn’t find Taiwan to be particularly polluted (a couple of days were slightly polluted in Kaohsiung and Tainan)! I think it’s just a cloudy place! I’m sure there’s data on the number of sunny vs cloudy days!
I was just wondering if you have tourist guide. 😂 I'm not a guide but I'll be glad if we can hangout sometime haha. so which country you traveling right now?
Ohh! No we do not have one!! And we absolutely love meeting locals, that would be awesome to meet one day! We are currently in the USA, unfortunately we have a relative who is very sick - so we are on a travel pause for the time being!!
if you want to check out the authentic Chinese culture, just go to Taiwan. By contrast, the traditional Chinese culture was destroyed in the people's republic of China during the culture revolution.
🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️Hey hi can u make UPI online money payment tour of India Where u don't need to carry money credit card etc ...Just paying with PHONE 🤳 ONLY... India is highly DIGITALISED..

Yeah I think it's more of a shopping/nightlife area which we probably didn't showcase the best! The temples and food are great though!
@@IfWeGoTo You guys did great! I enjoy your Chanel and love that Tea trip. To be able to see the beauty through your lance, I should feel so very fortunate! Thank you so much for sharing!
@@BeautifulThingBoutiq Ahh thank you! The tea trip was one of our favorite things we did!! It seems like we have similar interests!! :)
Thanks for watching and your kind comments!!
6:44 Lockheed C130 Hercules. I wonder what's going on here.
Not sure! They have a lot of military presence around Taiwan though!
那是在台北的一處機場 民用+軍用。
有國際線，可直飛日本 韓國...等等，平時也會 運補 一些 後勤。
平常時 以商用為主，戰時才軍用為主。
When will you come in Greece?
Hi!! We have actually been to Greece before in 2018 - Athens and Santorini!! :) This was way before we started a youtube!
We've really been wanting to visit again, we loved it! We've been trying to visit around summertime, but just haven't been able to between covid restrictions and then we have had a close family member struggling with their health that comes first!
Do you think there is another warm time of year we should consider going?
我以為妳們主動 勇敢的去嘗試蛇肉（其實味道跟雞肉差不多，我吃過幾次），一般外國人都不敢吃
我想如果我們有時間和預算的話我們會嘗試一下！我們嘗試了一些奇怪的食物，如鬣蜥、袋鼠、蝎子、活蝦等等！下次我們訪問時我想我們會嘗試一下！
一般台灣人其實也不敢吃這類的食物，以前老人家會吃
Just wondering if Alan’s pants are too tight for him 😅 nice video of your temple visit by the way. I’m glad you guys didn’t try the snake 🐍 because it seems creepy 😱
Hahah they are definitely slim fit!! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Maybe next time we will try the snake!!
@@IfWeGoTo I really enjoy your videos but having a snake brutally killed for entertainment, views, likes and all other sorts of things is just so wrong and the practice will continue. Please be considerate of the animal. thank you!
@@riekster6901 Hi there... We appreciate you looking out for animals, but did you actually watch the video? We didn't eat the snake...
That said, so long as the animal isn't abused, prone to disease, or pulled from the wild - is it much different from eating *any* farmed animal? That's why we're not necessarily against eating something like snake. (And we have consumed other reptiles before.)
Whether or not to consume meat is a debate on its own (and we generally choose to because while traveling it IS part of experiencing other places), but to imply we would have an animal killed just for the purpose of a video is a bit offensive though.... we'd never do that.
非常希望你們來台灣高雄看看～ 非常舒適的一個城市❤
是的！！我們在台北還有一些視頻，但我們確實訪問了高雄並製作了一個關於它的視頻！多拍幾個台北和花蓮的視頻就出來了！太可愛了！😃
❤👍👍👍💪
Thank you!
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Thank you! Hope all is well! :D
@@IfWeGoTo thanks be safe out there 🙏
Thank you!! We definitely try to! lol
🎉❤
Thank you!!
😎❤️🇹🇼‼️
Thank you!
Wow I just went to Longshan Temple and Ximending today. Usually there's a farmer market right where you are in the video beside Yuanshan Station, but there could be other kinds of market too. Taiwan is gay-friendly, the first and only Asian country that legalizes gay marriage. But there's almost no gay district in Taiwan. I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with Confucianism and sexual conservatism. 228 Peace Memorial Park was a dark place for gays to secretly linger around at night decades ago, when homosexuality was a taboo.
Oh ok! That's cool that they have a mix of markets!!
Yeah we had read about that! It's really cool that Taiwan is setting the stage for elsewhere. I know some countries in Asia are allowing it but are still quite conservative, I'm sure with time there will continue to be more districts and places that pop up!
Had no idea about that in 228! Very interesting bit of local knowledge, thank you for sharing!
All the videos I watch on Taiwan it always look overcast. Is it air pollution?
Hi!! No, we didn’t find Taiwan to be particularly polluted (a couple of days were slightly polluted in Kaohsiung and Tainan)!
I think it’s just a cloudy place! I’m sure there’s data on the number of sunny vs cloudy days!
你們好厲害，全靠自己探索嗎？還是台灣有嚮導或是朋友
太感謝了！！不幸的是我們五月初離開了台灣。我們只是在視頻方面非常落後！但我們真的希望有一天能再次拜訪--也許我們可以在那時保持聯繫？ :)
I was just wondering if you have tourist guide. 😂
I'm not a guide but I'll be glad if we can hangout sometime haha.
so which country you traveling right now?
Ohh! No we do not have one!!
And we absolutely love meeting locals, that would be awesome to meet one day!
We are currently in the USA, unfortunately we have a relative who is very sick - so we are on a travel pause for the time being!!
I was there last month, but I dare not to drink the snake soup
Hahaha is it bad to drink or anything??
@@IfWeGoTo Rare and unusual cuisine like that is generally eaten for Chinese medicine or traditional reasons, not because it tastes good.
@@IfWeGoTo I do not have enough courage to try the snake soup, a little scary, haha~
@cscss2923 Oh I see. I have heard that snake tastes similar to chicken, but have not tried it!
@brianhsinchu hahaha, it does take a bit of courage to eat these strange foods!
if you want to check out the authentic Chinese culture, just go to Taiwan. By contrast, the traditional Chinese culture was destroyed in the people's republic of China during the culture revolution.
truth
No need to wear masks now.
This was filmed back in the beginning of this year, many places still requested them. It may have changed now! :)
走馬看花，很膚淺，可惜！
我不確定我是否正確理解了這個習語。
您是說我們製作了一個關於這個主題的簡短視頻是一種恥辱嗎？
Please Don’t take this comment seriously, …😂
