Our family spent a week in Taiwan this year- fabulous holiday. The people we friendly and helpful, food was great and public transport easy for tourists. Would recommend.
Awesome video Chris! One thing you did forget is that the beef stew noodles is one of Taiwan's national dishes. It's one of the first things I eat when I visit.
For fire department and emergency service call number 119; for police call number 110. Taiwan has very good medical service. Most doctors speak English. Normal treatments will not cost much even you don't have health care here. ER service won't charge too much , either. Don't hesitate to use it if needed.
You just saved my future self a lot of nerves, when you mentioned that I would need different power adapters practically in every other Asian country. Thank you so much
Thanks for the tips! I really need to check out Taiwan one of these days. I really like that you can get to other parts of the island quickly by train!
Great video. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to Taiwan three times (planning a 4th for early 2025). Your suggestions were spot on … several tips made me smile - especially the fact that most younger people speak English. Used a 6 year old as a translator for his grandparents in a restaurant! I’d encourage anyone looking to visit this wonderful country to follow your recommendations. Only addition I have is cell service. Sim cards are available at any convenience store. However, for just a few bucks more get them at the airport. Airport cell kiosk customer service is very helpful and by getting your phone changed over at the airport it’s easier/quicker to communicate with friends/contacts already in country.
Wow, the first time I came across your channel, and I love how detailed you are. As a traveler, I can confirm you covered everything and to different people with different budgets. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
If you're here to see why you should watch this video, then stick around. This guy gives straightforward honest feedback I didn't see from other websites or reviews.
Thanks for the casual blog. In the Philippines taking our niece from Manila on her first ever overseas trip. And our first trip to Taiwan. This has helped us a lot. Your daughter looks wonderful. Loved your payment tips too. Best wishes Jason and Mica from Australia 🥰
love your videos! gotta admit that for years I avoided to fly China Airlines cuz I thought it was Chinese, not Taiwanese; especially in 2000s or even 2010s, Chinese products including aviation were viewed not too great. Also the PRC visas required.
I'm travelling to Taiwan for 2 weeks next year and was planning to rent a car, but your recommendation is making me question whether it's a good idea or not. From the footage I've seen, it seems that driving is pretty civilized there, and that the roads are all in good condition. I'll be travelling with a 3-year old so of course want to make sure I'm making the right decisions in terms of safety. For what it's worth, I've previously rented cars in 30+ countries previously but mainly Europe (the only exceptions being Canada, Oman and Costa Rica). Thank you!
Wow, I just followed this channel few weeks ago due to the trip to Boston and Newport, then you went to my country, Taiwan!! Yeah! welcome to Taiwan. :D
Chris! Thank you for all your videos about Taiwan. My parents and us stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel because of your recommendation and WE LOVED IT! I hope to watch your review video for MGH soon. When is it coming out?!
We'll be flying EVA to Thailand in late November and have the option of an overnight layover in Taipei (5pm-11am). Do you think it's worth the hassle of going through customs, getting a hotel, etc.? Btw I watch your channel regularly, always learn something new, thanks.
That's a long layover.. yes. I'd personally go out and stay near the airport but not inside it. But that's just me. There's also a transit hotel in TPE -- so you can consider that as well..
One of the better tour guides to Taiwan. Only comment is that driving there really isn’t too bad. People aren’t aggressive for the most part and the police give you a lot of leeway if you’re western. It’s like driving in Italy or Israel without the anger.
This may be a silly question. When I hear the word "tea", I think of a caffeinated beverage. I have a layover in Taipei, and I want to try the Boba Tea. But I also want to sleep on the way home. Does Boba Tea have caffeine?
Traditional Boba Tea indeed has tea.. therefore caffeine... but they also have Boba Milk drinks (no tea and no caffeine).. and also fruit teas with no caffeine
Taiwan was part of Qing Dynasty's territory, but ceded to Japan because of Qing's loss of Sino-Japanese War. And then, Chiang Kai-shek's government took it over after the victory of WW2. The fact is PRC has NOT ruled Taiwan ever. Hope everybody know that and not be fooled by Mainland China goverment.
@@YellowProductions Yes but they don’t look the same. The photo you showed was a “non sweet” potato. 😂 I pointed it out because potato and sweet potato are not called the same in Mandarin (or in Taiwanese, for that matter). Taiwanese jokingly call ourselves “sweet potato” and the mainland Chinese “taro” - I don’t know the reason though, since the shape of China has zero resemblance to a taro……🤔
I really hope someone sees this comment, I need help I am planning on getting a scholarship to Taiwan but I am not sure about like if I will be able to live in dorms and like how the shopping is over there are things cheap etc plz help
You made it very clear, thank you for explaining most of the situations to non-Taiwanese people. You are right about China's territorial relations. It has managed Taiwan since its democratization and has no intention of taking it back or starting a war. This is not what a modern civilized country would want to do, but there are indeed problems with our constitution, and citizens and The new government will have to resolve the issue of constitutional amendments.

Going to Taiwan in January, so this was great timing.
Great Introduction of Taiwan. Thank You!
Our pleasure!
Really liked Taiwan as travel destination. Interesting culture, great nature, friendly people, food so tasty.
I really like this Channel. Chris has a way of introducing other cultures in balance, interesting and knowledgeable.
Thanks so much!
This was so much fun to watch and incredibly helpful. I'm going to Taiwan in 2 days and a little bit nervous. You've been a big help
Thanks! Enjoy Taiwan!

Excellent guide and new format. Really well done. Need to go back to Taiwan at some point
Thanks Nintendo Wiz!

You should! 😀
Thank you this was helpful for my upcoming trip to Taiwan! It’s impressive you understand Taiwanese history, not very many Americans do…
Chris, thank you for the informative video. Such a safe country to visit and beautiful people there always willing to give a helping hand.
Couldn't agree more!
I’m so pumped for my trip to Taipei now! Your videos are so easy to watch and cover the essentials.
I'm so glad!

Hah. Love the 6 year old as a translator. Perfect.
The history part explained so well.
謝謝你在影片一開始就介紹了台灣的歷史🇹🇼❤
Thanks a lot i hope you enjoyed it , this video is full of information wow many things I need to know you gave to me , i'm from Morocco btw.
This was awesome- I learned so much! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome, thank you!
Concerning food: I think what’s often overlooked is what a superb place Taiwan is for vegetarians - comparable to India

Important question…do they have Toto Japanese toilets?
The Japanese hotel that I stayed in Taipei did! 😀
Very informative. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Welcome back to Taiwan!
Thanks!

14:05 You actually chose to have DCC on your transaction???
thank you for explaining that in the beginning. It seems like a lot of people get confused about thai = thailand and taiwan = taiwanese.
Wow, I just followed this channel few weeks ago due to the trip to Boston and Newport, then you went to my country, Taiwan!! Yeah! welcome to Taiwan. :D

Awesome.. it'll be out sometime between now and Christmas 😀
Although weather is unpredictable, what do you think is the worst month to visit there when it comes to rain and typhoons?
September/October is probably the worst for typhoons
謝謝分享；平安喜樂，順心如意。
Can we use your part of film on Computex show?

@@YellowProductions thanks! We do have shorter layover options, 2-3 hours
I’m going to Taiwan in the 10 of August 2024. 😂😂😂

Thanks for the tip on driving 😀
真的很用心，比其他來台賺點閱率、訂閱率的吃播網紅用心（一般網紅只有吃吃走走做誇張膚淺的言行就賺了單純台灣人的愛心呀！而這個卻有真正花時間查查&分析台灣與中國的差別、有研究了解台灣歷史及現今台灣優點，真正用心行銷台灣，👍
How is the weather sept 30th through to oct 14th?
Wow where did you get that shaved ice?
In a shop on Ximen in Taipei.. I don't remember the name of it
hello from Taiwan , 😊.
Hello!
it was fun!
In future must be joining two states on ground Agreement.
✨️🤩👍 - Nice Hawaiian collar shirt.✨️
12:10 that’s a totally neat Okayu-style gaming PC there (btw, Nekomata Okayu is a vtuber from hololive)
3:18 like sweet potato🍠
Indeed. A sweet potato is a more specific type of potato 😀
This may be a silly question. When I hear the word "tea", I think of a caffeinated beverage. I have a layover in Taipei, and I want to try the Boba Tea. But I also want to sleep on the way home. Does Boba Tea have caffeine?

There is a currency of Thailwand
Welcome to Taiwan！！！
Thanks so much!
That restaurant seems too expensive and not hi end. NT$500 should get a very good dinner for 3， which is $17.
👍
Do people seriously confuse Taiwan with Thailand?😂😂 or it’s a joke
Yes. People really confuse the 2
Yes. As a Taiwanese living in Australia, I can confirm it.
I used to confuse them too bc the names are close. Just like how I used to confuse Austria and Australia 😅
@@pogCibi yes. And only one has Kangaroos 😀
Yes
Taiwan is Taiwan
AT HOME HOTEL in December
Taiwan was part of Qing Dynasty's territory, but ceded to Japan because of Qing's loss of Sino-Japanese War.
And then, Chiang Kai-shek's government took it over after the victory of WW2.
The fact is PRC has NOT ruled Taiwan ever.
Hope everybody know that and not be fooled by Mainland China goverment.
Slight correction: Taiwan is shaped like a sweet potato, not a potato, hence the analogy.
A sweet potato is a type of potato 🥔 😀

you must be pretty dense to confuse thailand and taiwan
Happens all the time

Taiwan foods are getting more expensive these days.
I don't know if the blogger knows that all the cultural relics in Taiwan come from Beijing
Taiwan is basically China without unruly mainlanders
show me some Taiwan
wife is from thehere
Taiwan is not anymore china
When you look up Wikipedia, Taiwan is actually part of China. It's officially Republic Of China, hence apply visa to China if we want to go to Taiwan.
They still wearing face masks. Why
習慣😂
Travel tip to Taiwan… a helmet and flack jacket just in case an invasion happens to occur during your vacation
Welcome To Taiwan province(China)🇨🇳
Taiwan is Taiwan, not China! China’s Ah Q-style self-refreshment is ridiculous!
😂😂😂
@@王吉成-e8m If Taiwan is Taiwan,why Biden says he doesn't support Taiwan independence?
你的認知是錯的
@@王吉成-e8m Taiwan is not a country.
Do i need a criminal free certificate from FBI before i go to taiwan?
Eh? Maybe if you're applying for a longer visa..but not as a tourist
