Great video! In addition to introducing hiking trails, I like how you talked a bit of history, culture, and food of different places. Keep them coming!
Savoury rice balls look interesting. The ones we get in SG are usually sweet. I like Daxi because I like quaint old buildings with ornate facades. Thank you for bring me here, Richard.
My understanding is: Ta-kho-ham is Taiwanese name for “大溪“。 And the meaning of this phrase is not “ larger river” but “ large neck”. It was because that most of the aboriginal people lived there suffer the sickness of iodine lacking symptoms. As they lived a bit too far from the seaside.
Most of Taiwan‘s place names originated from aboriginal languages. Even the name “Taiwan” is one of them… When you see the names in Chinese, you have to pronounce them in Taiwanese or Japanese to get the origin sound of the names in aboriginal languages. For example, 艋舺in Taiwanese and 萬華 in Japanese sound similar to Monga or Monka. 打狗Ta-Kao in Taiwanese and 高雄Taka-O in Japanese… sound almost the same… Takao. After 1945, all names are pronounced in Mandarin. This changed the naming logic of those Chinese names.
12:35 Jian has around 45 villa in Taiwan along and several of them (especially those in Taoyuan )has got expensive escape tunnels, air raid bunker, panic room in case CCP attack, all courtesy of Taiwanese tax payers money.....he has villa in the US as well which also have expensive escape tunnels and air raid bunker.
Wonder if there was any MSG added to the soup? Lots people are allergic to MSG. Were you with someone from your family? Because I saw an arm reaching out and tried to get food in your direction, or just a stranger sharing the same table with you?
非常享受您的旅遊解說，連我這在台灣土生土長的客家人都非常感動！謝謝您在每一集裡都做足了功課，為觀眾服務。對很多景點及歷史文化通透了解！謝謝你們！👍👍讚！
原來大溪有這麼多景點可以參觀，每次都只知道去老街吃吃喝喝。感恩！下次安排去其它地方看看。
I can't wait to try these with my Daughter and Wife. They all look excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Have fun!
驚嘆大溪有這麼豐富的歷史和文物
在北部住了五十年都不清楚大溪有那麼多景點，反而外國人介紹的很詳細，我覺得自己很汗顏。
因為你是台灣人呀！台灣本來都是對台灣人比較陌生，對日本比較嚮往。
他介紹的我都去過都知道，因為我跟他都不是台灣人。

Another great video! Really enjoy the combination of good places to eat along with interesting places to visit. Thank you.
So nice of you
Good scenery and nice editing!
Taiwan still preserve many traditional building and foods which is good that we will never able to see or taste in singapore.
讚.噢早!塔家賀.入乡随俗.
Very impressive introduction for my hometown, 👏 good job!
Glad you liked it!
I love to see you eat all kinds of street foods!
大姑陷,大姑崁 或大科崁，都是台語字，發音近同Tokoham.
Beautifully captured, thank you for sharing!
Many thanks!

介紹的好詳細喔！我去大溪老街好多次都沒注意到這些歷史
Very good and informative this week. Did you know the guy who tried to pinch some of your food😁😁
Yes. I've been married to "him" for almost 20 years! LOL
1:42 Zhangzhou is 漳州 in Fijian Province. The only 長洲 I know of is in HK and over there they wrote it as Cheung Chau.
貢丸湯加幾粒芹菜珠珠，提味！不坊試試！漸漸就不討厭了！
大溪！保存當年代各式建築，古色古香！
今天是美食之旅😋
Richard is 亞洲的驕傲
You solved my doubt that how Dahan river can sail boats on.
大溪美食很多，但吃太多了，我喜歡國小附近豆干店
Saw the sign for 新加坡刀切冰淇淋 below 阿秋大汤圆，and I thought you were going to show us the ice cream instead .😆
Haha. I didn't even notice that until I was editing! Sorry!
大溪附近有太多厲害的美食
所以每次去都是早上爬山晚上吃美食
老街附近有5條古道耶
Richard 沒有順便去爬嗎？
不吃豆干可以試試看同是豆製品的豆腐烙或是賴媽媽豆花 夏天吃很消暑
我很喜歡吃豆花！
12:36 這裡也有蔣公行館，蔣公到處有行館不知道他有沒有在上班？🤣
lol at the guy who tried to steal your food
LOL. That "guy" is my wife!!!
I was chuckling about that too
7:43 trying to lose weight....7:46 go buy more food !! :D
沒有豆乾😱

Thanks for that. I sourced the info from the Daxi local government website: www.daxi.tycg.gov.tw/home.jsp?id=11&parentpath=0,1

At first I thought it was No-Go )
For the sake of your kidneys, don't eat too much dried tofu! Because many are over seasoned.

It's his wife :)
may be its Hugo attempting to steal food 🤩🤪👆
Nice place but too many places to eat for you :-)
Yes, true
Food streets, the only hikes where you gain weight.
💙 to see you meet up with Allan & Dave! th-cam.com/video/jSah8J0bYek/w-d-xo.html 👏👍
這種房子好像墳墓喔
以前的人品位怪怪的！
這樣的建筑不是做為住家，而是貿易行。
