- Here's why you should visit Taichung, Taiwan's most underrated city!
This weekend, join us in the sunny city of Taichung 臺中市 for part 4 of our Taiwan Travel Guide 2024!
From Kaohsiung, we take the train northwest to Taichung City as we finally get to relax in the best hotel we’ve stayed in so far in Taiwan. We also explore Taichung's coolest cafes, traditional markets, and the most local restaurants!
On our first night, we visit Miyahara, a red-brick building built in 1927 by Miyahara Takeo, a Japanese ophthalmology doctor. Miyahara was known to be the largest ophthalmology clinic in Taichung during the Japanese colonial period. Now it is a sprawling, otherworldly cafe and restaurant that attracts sweet tooths from around the world.
Where else to go in Taichung? Anywhere with street food and drinks. Taichung Second Market 臺中市公有第二零售市場, Archie Traditional Noodles from 1918 阿棋 三代福州意麵老店-台中第二市場在地人氣小吃, and Happy Banana Bakery 幸福蕉點 are top of mind.
What we love about Taichung? Many midcentury buildings are repurposed into the most interesting coffee shops, bookstores, and art galleries. 1035 Collab, Fuji Cafe 富吉珈琲, Fourth Credit Union 台中市第四信用合作社, 潮返書店, and Tamp Temper are must-visits in downtown Taichung.
For dinner, we make reservations for roast duck at Xiang Duck Taichung in Gongyi 享鴨 烤鴨與中華料理 台中公益店.
We also check out Ralph’s favorite Michelin-rated porkchop at 范記金之園草袋飯 總店. The biggest, best pork chop ever!
A short but sweet time in Taichung. See you in Taipei next week! Xie xie!

You’re one of the quality vlogging channels worth following. I like how you take us on a tour with you and speak more in front of the camera💜
Really appreciate it! More to come ❤️
99% of vloggers on YT show their faces 99% of the vlog.
I've been to Taichung on my last 2 days in Taiwan back in 2018 - thanks to their government's initiative of Visa Free for us in the SEA. I agree, it's an underrated city! I love every bit of Taiwan! Such beautiful country! Wonderful, friendly and helpful people! Also, the cheap price for everything was amazing! I'll be coming back later this year if they will renew the Visa free.
Definitely underrated! 😊 Are you also from the Philippines? We're Filipino so the visa-free part is so convenient. 🤍
Manila needs more of Vloggers like you guys. You are literally MANILA's BEST! Please keep these videos coming!
Thank you! We appreciate it. More to come soon ❤️
The combination of still photos with vids is a game changer! 🔥
And the choice of music 👌
You capture the essence of Taiwan so beautifully!
Appreciate that! Thank you 😊🤍
The part of Taichung you guys went to is far more modernized. The birthplace of boba is very close where you visited. Love hearing Taiwanese as it is rarely spoken these days or from what I noticed from my last visit. These videos are just so wonderful. The lofi music plus pictures and increased narration puts a nice touch on this channel. Love it!
Really enjoyed our first trip to Taichung. So much character and the food was great! Interesting blend of old and modern Taiwan. Thanks for watching 😊
I got so hungry watching this! I'll be travelling to Taiwan in October and can't wait!
Haha Taiwanese food is something else ❤️ enjoy your trip 🇹🇼
We were just there last week and went to a few of the places from your past Taiwan vlogs ❤. I loved it there and can’t wait to visit again! Taichung will surely be on our list. I always get excited whenever there’s a new vlog. Keep ‘em coming!!
Appreciate this! Taichung's so underrated ❤️ thanks for watching!
Hi Sam! I noticed that you're still using just your phone for the vids up to now. You were able to maximize it, haha. Love it!! You guys are becoming my standard for vlogs and it keeps getting better everytime 🎉🎉😊😊 always super informative din!
hi! haha thanks for noticing! yup, still using our samsung phones for videos. 🤳 they do the job so far! and thank you so much for watching 😊
Notifsquad! 🎉❤ Thanks for the new vlog. Love your vlogs for the visual feast and I just stream them the whole night to lull me to sleep because your voices are so soothing. LOL 😊 1:58 There's a Mister Donut at One Ayala and they sell the pon de ring! (No matcha flavor though). I love the Rocky Road and plain glaze 🥰
Let's go notifsquad 🫶🏽😄🫶🏽 cant wait to film more pon de ring flavors in the near future!
Omg!! sharing is caring 🫶Thank you!!
✨️🫶🏽✨️
Love your vlog! Very chill

Lovely places , it's underestimated taiwan

ooooo the food!!! the taro balls desert place looks so good!!! the Miyahara building looks so whimsical
Miyahara definitely has some eastern Harry Potter or Ghibli vibes 🤍And yes, all the food was amazing in Taichung. Thanks as always for watching 😊
Aw! This is right around where I live. So cool to see it documented like this 🥹
You live in such a cool area! Taichung was the city on this trip that I wish we had more time to explore. Hope we captured a bit of its unique vibes 🤍
What's awesome about you both is that you don't live that far from these beautiful places. Keep these videos coming.........also what's the song that starts at 4:42?
True! That song is Bird Creek's Ipanema Daydream. Thanks for watching!
@@RalphSam awesome thank you! 🙏🏽
I really love your vlogs. They are really fun to watch and have very informative content. The way you show the place you're traveling makes me feel like I'm there. I'm planning to visit Taiwan for the first time and would definitely go back to watch your vlogs on your Taiwan trips to get an idea of how to plan my vacation there. Keep making vlogs they are so inspiring.
Glad you like them! More to come this summer for sure ❤️
Amo demasiado sus vlogs, me encantan sus aventuras no saben lo mucho que me hacen sonreír con las tomas de los lugares y como muestran distintos ángulos de los lugares que visitan. Un abrazo desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
Muchas gracias. We do our best to make you smile ❤️ hello from the Philippines ✌🏽
Loved the opening Mia C Wu song. You two should make a Spotify playlist.
Love that song! And hey, not a bad idea! Thanks!
Welcome to Taichung!❤
Thank you ❤️ it was wonderful and peaceful
您的影片很有質感 非常棒 歡迎您與家人朋友來台灣 ❤
我们很开心！感谢您的观看 😊
Love your taiwan travel videos! Would you mind sharing your 12 day itinerary breakdown?
Hi there! Roughly we stayed 2 to 3 nights in each city, using the High Speed Rail and Local Train to travel. We spent more time in Taipei since it was the busiest.
Cities in order:
- Kaohsiung
- Taichung
- Taipei
- Keelung
One million ❤️
Merci 🫶🏽
Hi! Really in love with your vlogs❤ Planning my trip to Thailand (Bangkok) and your videos are very useful :) Can you please say what font do you use at the beginning of the video?
Thanks so much! We miss Thailand already haha. The font at the beginning is called Peace Sans :)
Love your videos! Can you let me know which camera strap Ralph has? The green one looks so ideal!
Sure! Got the strap from Fotoclub Bangkok. It's also a film lab. You can probably find something similar online if you look for rope camera strap 😉👌🏽
Also, its the bicycle manufacturing center of the world.
Amazing! 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
I see you both managed to sneak in cats again 😸 Also very fancy hotel to be using Byredo toiletries!
Cats are lucky charms 😻 and yes the Byredo toiletries smelled really good
We love watching your channel and you guys seriously deserve more subscribers. Sam, you may have mentioned this in a previous video and I just missed it but can you tell me about the shoulder bag you keep carrying? It’s a beautiful yellow/beige color. 😊
Thank you so much 😊 Oh, of course! It's actually from my mom, a Prada bag that she found at a vintage shop in Paris 🤎
Great content as always, but what hotel did you stay at?
Thanks! It's called Manho Hotel ✨️
Hey guys, I like the vibe of your vid.
What area of Taichung would you recommend as a hotel base for urban exploration?
Thank you! We stayed in the area close to Miyahara in the Central District. Very interesting old-school Taiwanese area. Would recommend it.
@@RalphSam Alright, selamat!
Ralph: MY LEG!!!!
Wait when did I say that?? 😄😄
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Hi, love your vlogs. Just wanted to know what camera you used at the market?
Thank you! We used an Olympus mju ii film camera 🎞🎞🎞
很多很棒的景點與美食 有很多質感的文創商品 我喜歡取景與構圖 去 享鴨 怎麼沒有點蘿蔔糕和梅子雞球的菜色
Thanks for the good tips ✌🏽

Ugh. I'm craving the desserts so much. hahaha. What airline did you fly?

Loving all your vlogs especially the coffee shop hopping 😍 Are you guys open to visiting India? It’s my dream place at the moment. Me and my partner love Indian food. Would love to see you exploring the country too but only if you’re keen of course 😄 I would still be watching your vlogs nevertheless 😘 thanks for the relaxing videos! Love from NZ ❤
We've definitely discussed it 😊 love Indian food as well! Just not sure if we're experienced enough travelers to make such a big trip, but we would love to one day 🤍 Thank you for watching!
No worries 😊 Also trying to convince my partner to visit at least Mumbai once in our life! Hey if you guys swing by here in nz, would love to connect with you. We also vlog but we only do silent ones. Your vlogs are so inspiring. Anyway happy Tuesday guys! 😘
Will check out your vlog! 😊 Actually very curious about New Zealand as well. It looks so beautiful. May we ask which part you guys are from?
We’re here in Auckland but would also like to try living in Christchurch 😊 Yes we’ve got lots of wonderful sceneries and landscapes especially in the South Island. But here in Auckland we’re surrounded by beaches so it’s good in the summer. You’ll enjoy it here if you love nature 😄 Coffee scene here is also quite good!
Wow, sounds beautiful! Definitely going to note this down in case we head that way. Thanks for the tip 😊
Lovely video❤ what is the name of the hotel? It looks awesome
Thank you! We stayed in Manho Hotel. Highly recommend it ✨️
This is so beautiful what camera do you use?

Around the same price as Manila but cheaper in Japan actually due to exchange rate 👍🏽
