Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- We visited Tainan, Taiwan which is Taiwan's oldest city and reputed to have the best food in the entire country! So made a vlog of some of the best things to do in Tainan - many of which you guys recommended! This includes the Anping District, as well as some of Tainan's delicious food, historic temples & forts, and an amazing cultural experience in the oldest city in Taiwan!
(We did not properly film it, but we liked Tainan so much we stayed an extra day and ate allllll the food! Definitely recommend a visit! :D)

Brandi's handwriting is prettier than mine, I guess you are an artist or painter!
Tainan is the historical and cultural capital of Taiwan. It has always been an important cultural center and has preserved many historical sites and temples.
Tainan is even more famous for its strong human touch!
Moreover, Tainan has also been rated as the World Food Museum by the Wall Street Journal!
In addition to being famous for its food and culture, it is also the hometown of the international director Ang Lee and the city where Bubble tea was invented.
Obviously, you can’t finish sightseeing in Tainan in one day. You are welcome to come back to Tainan again!
Thanks a lot to you for your hard work and sharing this amazing video! 👍🥰🙏
Ohh yes! Thank you! I love making art!
It is such an amazing city, I wish we could have explored it a bit more and learned even more of the history!
Next time we will have to stay longer, thank you for sharing a little bit more about it!! And thank you for watching!!
@@IfWeGoTo It is my pleasure, thanks to you too! Take care! 👍🥰🙌
You too, thank you!
@@IfWeGoTo Thanks again! 🙏
@@IfWeGoToYes, you have to try it, bro, the highest fastest train in Southeast Asia... the speed is 350 K kilometers, the newest fast train in Southeast Asia, the first in Indonesia, Jakarta - Bandung, lots of tourist attractions in the city of Bandung which is beautiful and comfortable and cool and cool and beautiful.....

Another great film!
Thank you!! 🤗
Thanks for the Tainan's history!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! :D
Amazing film
Thank you!!!
I love your videos!!! Tainan was our favorite place to visit during the summer.
Thank you so much!! Tainan is great! I wish we could have stayed longer! Oh well, next time we visit I suppose! :)
Love this video❤ it’s my home city and I’m glad you guys enjoyed your trip there👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much! We loved Tainan
I love your videos! Thanks for showing us beautiful parts of Taiwan! Brandy what happened to you? I hope you feel better now? Get well soon….
Thank you so much!!! I’m not sure! I think someone’s we just get a bit tired or maybe dehydrated! It was very hot out that day! But I’m definitely better now. :)
Love the quality of your videos, especially the ones covering Taiwan! It’s helped me so much to plan out my TW trip at the end of the year. Definitely subscribing
Ahh thank you so much! So happy you have enjoyed them and that they have helped with your plans!! Hope you have such an amazing trip!! If you need any extra tips, don't hesitate to reach out! :D
Great trip to Tainan.
Thank you!!!
A must-eat dish in Tainan - Beef Soup.👍
It's one of worlds best dishes
Oh yes! Absolutely delicious!!
😂😂 the ending is very funny. Glad that you both got curry comfort 🍛
Haha glad you enjoy it! Curry is great on a cold day or if you just need a little comfort for sure!! 🤗
haha We have Coco Curry in Taiwan too! btw, Tainan is my hometown and the most significant tour spot for Taiwanese! Food and history for sure.
Oh whatttt!! I didn’t know coco curry was there!! Tainan is awesome! We hope to visit again one of these days!! We missed so much!

Tainan is my family’s hometown! Hope you come back one day and stay longer. Food is amazing and shopping for small gifts is fun. Also, check out the Chuan Mei theater’s outside. You can see Yan Jhen-fa’s hand painted film posters. I walked by it for years without realizing it was one guy hand painting entire movie posters for the theatre. One of the last people in Taiwan doing so! I saw him painting a few years back without really knowing what he was painting
Also your calligraphy is better than mine!
Love Japanese curry in Taiwan. I also like pasta there. It’s not quite the same as Italian pasta but they have their own unique taste and flavor that’s delicious
Wow that is really cool your family is from here!! I hope we can stay longer one day too - we definitely missed out keeping it so short. Next time though! And we will look for your recommendations, thank you for mentioning them!!
We were so happy with everything we tried in Tainan!!

I’m hungry right now. Those noodles looked great.
It is hard editing these when hungry hahaha
Thank you for visiting my hometown!
Thank you for your warm welcome!!
true... we are going back next month and a few days in Tainan then back to Pingtung, then to Taipei for a few days
Ohh that sounds like a great little trip around!!
Are you still in Tainan? Don’t forget to visit Alishan in the near by city of Chiayi.
Unfortunately we left a while back, but next time we visit Taiwan we definitely want to visit Tainan!
The calligraphy is very good.👍
Thank you!!! 😃
Nice handwriting and。interesting video👍
Thank you!!
So good 👍👍👍
Thank you 😋
I really love video ❤
I'm glad you like it, thank you!!
Welcome to Tainan❤
Thank you for your warm welcome!! 🙏
Glad you guys made it to Tainan! Great videos! But too bad you’re only there for a day. Tainan is probably the richest city in Taiwan (but lesser known) and it could take days to explore all the fun alleyways
We did end up staying one extra day because we liked it so much (though we decided not to include it in this video because it was just all food 😂) but next time we will definitely stay longer!!
And TOGA :-) Be there next year
the noodle looks so delicious , (eating bread in office now for lunch since it's raining outside, cannot go out to have the soup noodle)
It is so good!! That's too bad the weather is rainy, but maybe it will clear up another day so you can get your noodles! :D
視頻拍攝極好，讓我們更暸解台灣，謝謝您們
太感謝了！
We just celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival on Sep. 29 and had BBQ all over Taiwan.
Oh that sounds like it would be so much fun!
I love all your videos on Taiwan. One thing to correct though. It’s not Chinese temples. It’s actually Taoist Buddhism temples, very uniquely Taiwanese.
Thank you very much!! Yes you are correct. Definitely when we came we were still learning a lot. We appreciate comments like your because they help us learn more, even long after we have left a place, so thank you!

What do you mean uniquely Taiwanese? As far as I know Daoism originated in China...
I definetely wouldn't miss the Chimei Museum. Highly suggest it next time.
Yeah we definitely regret not staying longer, next time we visit we will have to check it out!! Thank you!!!

真的很棒的地方🥳🥳🥳辛苦了。
同意！謝謝你！！
台南是台灣大航海時代首先崛起的貿易城市，有非常多很棒的事物，enjoy it!❤❤❤
當然是！我希望我們能待得更久一點！謝謝你！
Taiwan best foods all in Tainan.
The best!
Wow, you have more Taiwan travel series than Japan series. I’m very happy that you really like Taiwan.
How long do you plan to stay in Taiwan?
Yes!! We ended up filming a lot in Taiwan because we knew we were going to have to take a break from traveling for a while for a sick relative. So we made a huge backlog! That and Taiwan does not have nearly as many videos about it so we wanted to cover it well! :D
We actually left Taiwan back in May, and unfortunately I think this will be the last of our Taiwan videos for now!
@@IfWeGoTo It's a pity. I thought you were still in Taiwan. Thank you for experiencing Taiwan and introducing many warm and kind Taiwanese people and beautiful scenic spots and culture. I hope you can visit Taiwan again in the future. I wish you all the best. Thank you.
@@TV-mo1os Yes, we are so sad that we have to leave. We love Taiwan so much!! Hopefully we can come for another visit soon! :) We definitely plan to come back!
Thank you so much for your kind words - comments like yours really keep us going! :)
if its 2024 can u guys go back to the efteling cause there wil be a new ride and a lot of new things there wil be a whole new themed area called the huyverforest and the ride is called danse macabre it replaces spookslot
We’d loooove to go back next year!! We’re definitely hoping to!! Do you know when the new area and tide opens??
@@IfWeGoTo probably
Probot opens winter 2024
Somewhere in the winter
Like at the start of 2024
拍的好美❤😂
你們不怕熱嗎?
花蓮最近有全台灣最美的星巴克(可以坐船拍照，在渡假村旁)
謝謝你！！我們去的時候非常熱！！
我們不知道星巴克，不過聽起來不錯！
We just returned after 3.5 week vacation back home... gawd we miss Taiwan
Oh I hope your trip was amazing!! We miss it too!! 🥲
HAD TO DO some medical issues as the doctors are great there (frozen shoulder) .. where are you guys now?@@IfWeGoTo
Aw man, well we are wishing you quick healing for your shoulder!!!
We are currently in the USA! Unfortunately one of our parents has been sick so we've taken a pause on travel, but we are hoping to get back to it when we can! :)
@@IfWeGoTo we are sorry to hear that. Hopefully our good wishes and prayers to the person that is recovering from being ill. The doctors are very good in Taiwan. After just one treatment (of 3 in total- once every week), she felt better already and loosened up and with exercise. Not sure why they do or offer it more readily in North America as it is a common treatment
@@cdnsilverdaddy Thank you so much for your positivity and prayers, they are so appreciated!
Oh that is so good to hear!
Doctors visits can be so complicated in America. I think it's just a different system that is made extra complicated by insurance. I'm glad a lot of other places in the world make healthcare easier though.
I'm from Pakistan
Enjoy your video
Lovely 🌹
Thank you so much 😊
We would love to visit Pakistan one day!
@@IfWeGoTo I'm waiting your
Come from Rawalpindi I wish you ❤️❤️💕
You should go see the sacred trees
Oh where are those?!
Hi! Woukd you know if the fort is wheelchair accessible please?
Hi! I am unfortunately not sure. I think someone using a wheelchair could get on to the main grounds, but I don’t remember anything but stairs for parts of the fort.
I hope you are able to figure this out! Sorry I couldn’t help more! ❤️
@@IfWeGoTo thank you for the kind and quick reply!
@@jd5787 anytime! I hope you enjoy your trip to Tainan!! 😊
你們沒有去四草綠色隧道跟奇美博物館嗎??
不！我們遺憾地錯過了！這意味著我們下次需要再次訪問並看到它！
😊❤
Thank you!!
👍❤😊
Thank you!!
btw, Taiwan bakers win a lot on international competitions and better than in Europe imho ... not too sweet and just right
Oh we did not know that! But Taiwan has amazing food so I am not surprised!!!
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Thank you!!!
The newer old building at the site of Fort Zealandia were built by Japanese. Most of the old buildings with black roofs were Japanese built.
Ohh, got it! Thank you for your correction!
❤
as a taiwanese, just curious what is the reason that you choose taiwan as a travelling destination? (or, what information that make you decided to visit taiwan ),since taiwan is not so famous or popular in the world. it should be a good experience to travel around the world , which country are you travelling now? just found some video about Italy, I miss my travel time there, will see the video later, thanks for these high quality videos, have a nice trip..❤🎉
Hi there!! I had been interested pre-covid as a potential destination from Japan - I had heard it was a friendly country with a lot of beautiful sights and culture! We did not make it back in 2019, but we later made friends who lived in Hualien for a while and they highly recommended a visit to Taiwan and knew we wanted to go the next time we were in Asia!! We absolutely loved it too!
Unfortunately we have been in the USA since May this year! One of our parents has been fighting cancer, so we've been spending time back. Hopefully we will resume our travels soon.
Do you travel a lot too? Where are you from??
Thanks for watching and writing to us!! We greatly appreciate it and are so glad you've enjoyed the videos!
thanks for the reply , I am from HsinChu which is about 90 KM away from Taipei, I like travelling,too. especially Europe (but only 2 weeks every trip, since it's hard to have a long vacation) ,I also had a business trip to U.S. (Austin, Texas) a very long time ago, it was my first time go abroad and it was a good experience,hope I can visit U.S. again someday. Hope all is well with you and your family
Of course! That is really cool that you are so close to Taipei!
I hope you get to make more trips out soon, there is so much world to see out there!!
Thanks so much, they have been doing relatively well.
Anping Old Street is the oldest street in Taiwan.
Wow that’s awesome! Thank you!?
🙏🙏👍👍
👍👍👍
Thank you!!
台南市區重要景點你們都有去，很內行
谢谢你！！我们探索得很愉快！
Go to the 玄空法寺，it’s fascinating!
Oh I wish we had! Next time we will have to!! Thank you! :D
I think you missed one of Tainan’s famous delicacies, the sweet beef soup.🤤 It’s a pity.😭
Ohh we did not know about the sweet beef soup! That means we will just have to go back to try it! 😆
@@IfWeGoTo The normal name is just beef soup, sweet is just me describing the good taste of the soup.😅
@@user-kb8jg8fv6d ohh hahaha! We did get to try beef noodle soup on Taiwan, but not Tainan. 🥺 still going to have to visit again to try it! 😂
@@IfWeGoTo Made in Tainan using fresh beef that has not been frozen on the same day, it has a completely different taste from ordinary beef noodle soup. Almost everyone who has tasted it will praise it.That's why I say it's a pity😘
@@IfWeGoTo oh no, that's not the same thing, the name is similar, but totally different.
Oh wow, you guys are still there. I just spent 2 weeks in Taipei and went to a couple of places based on your videos.
I wish!! Hahaha. We actually left Taiwan back in May! Unfortunately one of our parents is battling cancer, so we knew we would be taking a travel break for a while and made a huge backlog of Taiwan videos!
That is so amazing to hear that you got to visit and found a couple of cool spots through the videos! What was your favorite thing you did in Taipei?!
溪頭是全台灣空氣最鮮甜的地方。
哦，聽起來很可愛！
書法練習的不錯
謝謝你！
Did you enjoy their recommendations? I know Brandi works hard on these videos to show the best N area has to offer.
Thank you!!
台灣必去地方，台北故宮，合歡山，小琉球。
感謝您的建議！
7:50 筷子用得很好，如果手的位置再靠後一點就完美了😉😉
噢謝謝！！
wow - I can’t believe that’s all one tree! such a cool city. too bad you didn’t have more time there.
Yeah, it was a huge Banyan!! So beautiful! & I know, it was such a shame to leave so soon!!
I do not like Mango either. I am with Alan on that.
Aww man!! Hahaha. I love mango!! At least a good ripe one!
或許可以體驗一下台灣的”辦桌 ”活動😂
什麼是辦公桌活動？
@@IfWeGoTo 就是流水席，很多人一起吃飯，但那是不固定的.....Maybe you can ask your fans where they are, they are all very professional.
哦好的！！下次造訪時我們需要詢問！
謝謝你！
@@IfWeGoTo 3Q😁
😁😁
Thank you!!!
you might have heat stroke LOL
Hahaha definitely. It was insanely hot there 🥵
@@IfWeGoTo wife had the same thing.. dizziness, etc... stay hydrated... also, where did you guys get the music to accompany the cvlogs with? great one at Jiufen vlog
Yikes, well hopefully she was ok!
For our music we mostly use Epidemic Sound! If you're looking to make videos I've really enjoyed them for a couple of years and they have been easy to work with! :D
(Here is our referral link if you happen to be interested!: share.epidemicsound.com/0wp4n0)
Also we occasionally use Envato Elements for music - most for themed stuff or world regions. Although I try not to use too many songs by them because they're a pain sometimes with the way their licensing works! But I've never had a serious issue or anything!
Hope that helps!
神農街晚上去更漂亮喔！！
哦，我希望我們有！下次！ ：D
這集的影集 又比上集的影集越來越漂亮 可愛又漂亮的女生
謝謝你！ 🤗
Taiwanese wonton has only two versions. Pork or pork with shrimp.
Oh it must have been pork then!!
I love Tainan! One of my favorite cities in the world. The food is incredible, locals are incredible and the scenery is incredible, surprisingly founded by the Dutch!
Reformatt here? Lekker!!
@@1peruvianguy jawel
Welcome back again!
Agreed! It’s such an awesome city and has such rich history!
Happy to see you here too, love your videos!!! ❤️😭🙏

Can see me putting on weight next year :-)
Hahah in Taiwan it is easy to!

Your girlfriend is beautiful. If I were you, I would love her forever.
Aww thank you! ❤️
Is this video of you as a couple or Tainan? All I see is you two perpetually in front of the camera...boring
Eh, we get comments like yours and then comments stating the opposite: that it’s boring if we’re not saying enough.
Can’t please everyone. Appreciate you taking the time to comment though, will consider. Though you could be more polite
