  • Taiwan is one of the easiest and most beautiful countries in the world to travel by bike. In two packed episodes, I'm taking you with me on an 800 km tour of the northern part of the island. In this first episode, I leave the airport and drive south towards Taichung. I take the country's busy cycling network, visit some tea fields and leave the west coast for the mountains.

    Bonjour Jonathan, très beau vidéo! J'ai travaillé pendant plusieurs années dans le domaine du test des semi-conducteurs et j'ai voyagé plusieurs fois à Taiwan pour le travail. Cependant, je n'ai pas eu la chance de visiter les beaux coins de ce pays qu'on peut voir dans ton vidéo. Les gens de Taiwan sont probablement les plus accueillants de tous les pays que j'ai visités dans ma vie. Great video!I worked in the semiconductor test industry for many years and I have visited Taiwan many times for my work. However, I have had not a chance to visit the nice parts of the country you show in your video. The Taiwan people are probably the nicest and most welcoming people I ever met.

    Magnifique vidéo et belles images. Beau portrait.Tu as bien illustré le l'esprit du vélo à Taiwan. Je reviens moi-même d'un séjour de 16 jours de vélo et 1300km . J'ai adoré et tout était facile. Les routes impeccables, les montagnes grandioses.

      Oui, moins aimé la côte ouest en raison de la densité urbaine. J'ai pu trouver mon bonheur le long des canaux d'irrigation. Y retourner, je considérais davantage la montagne.

    Salut Jonathan, François Brodeur du Salon du livre qui t’écrit! Dans un premier temps, merci d’avoir pris le temps d’échanger avec moi, tu as été mon moment fort du Salon ! Tel que promis, j’ai fait l’écoute des deux vidéos sur de périple à Taïwan. Celles-ci se rapprochent beaucoup des lectures que j’ai faites de tes livres. À mon humble avis, le seul point qui transparaît moins dans tes vidéos est ton côté humain, ton côté plus émotif qui se révèle davantage dans tes écrits. J’ai l’impression que le partage de tes émotions est plus accessible par écrit qu’en vidéo, mais… qui suis-je pour en juger…Si jamais le cœur t’en dis et que tu es dispo pour aller rouler avec moi un de ces 4, je serais emballé de t’accompagner pour une sortie ! Au plaisir et je t’encourage à poursuivre ton parcours, tu es une inspiration pour moi ! Au plaisir !

      @@jonathanbroy we did not ride. We were in Taipei only and there on family business. My niece and I are dedicated cyclists, so we tried to find a bike shop where we could buy a local jersey. We only found the $$$$ and lovely Rapha store. We'd love to go back and ride. The food is extraordinary. People are thoughtful and kind. After riding all my life in USA (where drivers are belligerent and culture is individualistic), im so curious about the experience of riding in a culture like Taiwan. So I really appreciate your video and it's focus on people. 👍🏽❤️🇹🇼🚴‍♀️

    Thanks for introducing Taiwan! I am very glad that you enjoyed my country. Please don't skip east coast next time! Taroko National Park is also a great place for cyclist.
    Just wanna share my view of the Chang. He HAS NO contribution of the modern Taiwan. My personal view, he was nothing but a dictator. In fact, if we only talk about modernizing Taiwan, that would be Japan.

      I also visited the center and a bit of the east coast (and I cycled the whole east coast in 2018!) : ua-cam.com/video/HeOmrIT2gm4/v-deo.html
      Also thank you for sharing your view on Chiang. I know he is very controversial to say the least.

      @jonathanbroy  2 місяці тому +1

      Leave the box at the airport. Ask for another one at the end of the trip in a bike shop. It's often free.
