Taiwan is a Hidden Gem
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- The term ‘hidden gem’ gets used a lot - probably a little too often - when it comes to describing travel destinations. For Taiwan, however, it feels justified. There’s so much to see and experience on this beautiful island in Asia. In this video I’m sharing some of my top picks, but make sure to check the rest of our Taiwan (台灣) series for more.👇

I'm planning to go to Taiwan later this year and have been watching quite a few travel vlogs to get ideas on what to do and where to go. This is, hands down, the best overview I've seen. I didn't even know those re-purposed creative zones existed until I saw this video. Now to watch the other videos in the Taiwan playlist (and beyond). Nice one Eileen!
Welcome to Taiwan
So I am back from my first 14 days trip to Taiwan. Great country! Great nature! and the food no end of new dishes to try. Wow!! Seems like we went to Taiwan just for the food! ,At the central market in Taipei you could see almost every creature is used for food, I saw live snakes, live frogs and other sea creatures! A very advanced country with air conditions everywhere! Orderly, clean, no chewing gum allowed on trains and buses, no wild crossing over the streets! Almost no one seems to smoke! Public transportation made very easy to find your way around Taipei. There is nothing you won't find in this country. It is worth a visit if you just want to shop. It definitely is a hidden gem! The people so friendly and the service you get at the hair dressers! Wow a massage of my shoulder and neck included! If you are looking for a summer vacation go to the south. The beach is wondeful and the hotels very nice. The best time to visit is after the monsoon season I would go mid October. The weather is still warm (25-30°) but endurable. There is so much more to explore you would need more than just 14 days.
i don't know how you are not raking in subscribers. your videos are awesome.
Yess I agree, Taiwan is absolutely a hidden gem! Love this video xxoo 😊
So glad to hear that! There are so many reasons to love Taiwan 💕😘
Ting Ting's Taiwan 婷婷的台灣 nationality
I'm Australian :-)
will move there Taiwan seem amazing
I’m in love with your videos! It’s rare to see people going to places like Huashan 1914 Park in vlogs, it’s definitely a hidden gem! I went there a month ago and the whole atmosphere and the design were absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for introducing these unique places 😊
謝謝您介紹美麗台灣
非常感謝你的觀看和你的好評。😘Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment.
美丽my butt
原住民山地文化的保存是我們台灣的驕傲，他們的歌曲、舞蹈令人讚嘆，看來你們是錯過了！
I like the way you present these amazing spots, you definitely know better taiwan than I do.
Love the positive and unpretentious vibe in all your videos. Very inspiring and entertaining even for us locals who don't bother to go to those places anymore.
I was just thinking this!
Such cool places! Great video!
Agreed! Thanks a lot! 😘
Excellent video once again, can see why you loved it so much. Enjoyed the whole Taiwan series: look forward to seeing your next adventures.
I've been following UA-camrs that made travel vlogs in Taiwan for the past few years and I have to say you guys are the BEST, the videos are so professional, informative and so fun to watch!!! Wish you can come back to Taiwan again in the future to discover more of the hidden gems in my beautiful country!!! Thank you so much for presenting Taiwan with so many beautiful footages that can definitely attract more people around the world to visit Taiwan!
Well done ! Hard to believe u guys can discover Taiwan wilder and deeper during ur very short visiting . It made me be so shamed , but really glad and appreciate what u did for sharing .Thanks .
you are just amazing .. like your way ..just so nice to hear you and super informative video .. cant wait to visit
This just made me so excited for my move to Taiwan. Thank you for the video!
Hey Nicole! How exciting you're moving to Taiwan! Whereabouts? Maybe you already saw but we made lots of other videos about Taiwan if you'd like to see more. They're here: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :)
Yes I have just binged all of your Taiwan videos 🙈 I am most likely living in the Bali district of New Taipei City, but your videos gave me and my partner a long list of ideas to explore while unable to travel outside the country with quarantine regulations still in place
That's wonderful! Congratulations to you and your partner on the move! Enjoy exploring and please have some dumplings and bubble tea for me...I miss Taiwan ❤️ Stay safe!
Been here for 29 days so far for a work trip. Unfortunately I'm leaving tomorrow. Wish we could have linked up to sight see. I fell in love with this country
So detailed and great introduction, glad to know you had fun time in our country, like your video. ❤
Thanks a lot, Chris! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video :) We've made a whole series if you'd like to see some others: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist
感謝你如此熱誠地介紹我的祖國 台灣
Great video compilation and commentary of the awesome places to visit in Taiwan! I'm heading there again in Oct and Nov this year and have most of these places planned already, but it's so much easier to just show my travel buddies your videos to convince them of the itinerary. :)
I think that you've chosen the best time of year to come to Taiwan - it will still be warm but the typhoon season will be over. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
That's awesome news! Thank you, I can't wait to be in Taiwan again already!!
Another great video!!!High-five!!
The guy walking backwards in Mt.Elephant is so cool!! Marc,you should join himXD
I also love how Taiwan transformed those abandoned places into somewhere flourished with cultural and creative vibe. Apart from Pier2, Huashan1914, and Ten Drum...etc, Songshan Tobacco Factory(Taipei), Shen-Ji New Village(Taichung), Blueprint Cultural&Creative Park(Tainan),and Tiehua Music Village(Taitung) are also highly recommended!!! Reference for future travellers :))
I wish we had more time to explore more places!!!!Keep traveling and look forward to seeing more travel adventures of yours:))All the best!!!!!
Welcome to Taiwan，Thank you！
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Another great video. So much awesomeness beyond what I was able to see when I had a free day during a business trip to Taipei six years ago. I love repurposed places, my wife and I live in one. 😊
This is the country I love most! Thank you for the vlog!
Nice topic! I love all your films and your voice!

SO many places! This makes me very happy and I'm really excited you'll be visiting so soon! Do you know yet what you want to do and, very importantly, what you want to eat? haha
Am so lucky to have found your videos while researching for my upcoming Asia trip! We originally plan to visit the southern coast only, other than Taipei. Now after watching your vlogs we ware planning to go the East coast, too. I cant wait to try the rose milk tea you recommended and beef noodle soup, and the list goes on haha!! continue the great work! love your vlogs!
歡迎喜歡臺灣的朋友，，希望讓你們有賓至如歸的感覺，。
I visited Ten Drum Park too, the drumming and flute were amazing/exhilarating
Eileen Aldis
The Pier 2 and Huashan 1914 Creative Park are two of my favourite places to go. Some people say that is a lovely place for hipsters and I agree with that.
I'm so glad to hear you love them too! :) Have you been anywhere else in this video?
Yes, I have been to all of the places that you mentioned in this video and they are so beautiful and definitely worth to visit there again and again. I have to say that your Taiwanese series videos promote Taiwan a lot. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much - that means a lot to hear. We're delighted if our videos inspire others to visit Taiwan and have a wonderful experience like us. ❤️🇹🇼
Nice video, thank you for sharing
Great video, nicely produced.
Very much appreciated for promoting Taiwan!

This is such a good video for practicing English Listening. Hahaha....
The shots' quality are very good !!!
Lots of good info. More places for us to visit. Thanks
Glad to hear that! I hope you'll enjoy as much as we did :)
I am gonna show this video to my American and international friends, and convince them to go visit Taiwan. Thank you for such an awesome introduction video!!
Yes! We definitely don't have enough people visiting Taiwan, they just don't know about it! :-)
Went to Taiwan a month ago. I want to go back already.
Understandable! What was your favourite part?
The food LOL
Thanks for your introducing
很多人以為台灣只有食物 商業 都市化
但是我們更值得被世界擁有得是 我們的文化保留與 新創
對了 有時間到台南高雄交界的
龍崎旗山惡地
應該也是世界唯一
Please produce a video on getting to Taiwan. For example: which airline? which hub gives a traveler the best combination? possible airline combinations from North America / South America / Europe / Southeast Asia / Northeast Asia... and so on. That would really help!
You did a extraordinary job at introducing Taiwan! Better than a lot of Taiwanese can do, including myself :)
haha that means a lot, Jenny! Thank you :)
If you visit Taichung, try the restaurant "La Terrasse French Bristro".Its one of the best restaurant, the founder is from Australia.
Thank you for your introducing about Taiwan. I am Taiwanese. I hope more and more visitors from the world know this beautiful island. It is very good and convenient to travel. And there are a lot of delicious food!!!
Taiwan is beatiful .
Taiwan is a beautiful country!
Wow!! I so love all those little..and not so little..quirks!! There is definitely no lack of charm in that , indeed, gem of an island!! And you certainly help make it shine Eileen!
Glad you guys made it up those steps in that heat!!
是顆一直在默默發光的寶石
I miss Taiwan! I hate Coronavirus.
I know 😢
thanks for your gem videos!
That's very lovely of you to say! Thank you! ❤️
I also had a tough time while climbing Mt. Elephant...same red face and sweats as you~haha. Did you go to any religious or traditional culture spot like the great temples with giant Buddha in Taiwan? They're so cool and unique that I truly recommend to visitors. Love your video so much, especially the ones about Taiwan:) cheers & thanks!
Thanks so much - I'm very happy to know you're enjoying this Taiwan series! More still to come :) That's cool you climbed Elephant Mountain - omg it was so hot hahah. Was it also super humid and a million degrees when you were there?! I'm not sure about the giant Buddha but we did visit a lot of spots around the country like Lungshan Temple in Taipei. If you have other recommendations I'd love to hear 💖
0:17 did it crash into the pylon?
You mean into the bridge? 🤔 No, of course not!
Im been taiwan last year for 11days from toayoun chiayi n then keelung also @101..my wife sister maried to taiwanese guy so we had a easy guide travel...btw im from Borneo..yes taiwan was alot difrent from our land..beauty n good climate
That's great you got to spend time there. How cool you're from Borneo! We actually have videos coming from Borneo! Hope you'll enjoy them too!! 😃
Taiwanese food is the best in the world.
That's actually the slogan for most of our government travel ads, 'Taiwan, the hidden gem of Asia'
Thank you so much~
Personally I think the weather during late Sep. to Feb. is the best, June to Aug is too hot (unless you enjoy beach and water activities), late Feb. to April is usually too rainy.
Great job. Thank you.
Thanks!
Awesome!!!
Thank you! So many cool places to go :)
Welcome to Taiwan,Ilan,
National Center for Traditional Arts,
It is a beautiful place with traditional cultural building、food.
我覺得台灣不僅僅是 [ 寶石 ],我覺得台灣更像是 [ 璀璨閃亮的鑽石 ]
Taiwan is definitely a gem!
I'm addicted to your videos❤️🙏🇮🇳
Been to Ten Drum last Dec, now their show isn't in the factory anymore. You should try the Sugar cane popsicle :)
That sounds delicious! Where is their show done now? 🤔
@@EileenAldis a small room (is a small theater with a stage 😅
Their seats are benches now
thank you for your great video
Glad you enjoyed it, Dean!
Awesome video!
Thanks! :)
Thank you for the info, love your videos. Will be there in Oct. 2018
Thank you, Robert! I'm so glad to hear that! Hope you have a fantastic trip - I'd love to hear what you enjoy most :)
Cool, you are hanging out in my neighbourhood. Kaohsiung Numba One :D
I've been watching your videos in Taiwan. How do you get tickets for the drum performance? Do you know how often they perform at that theater? :D
Hi Sam! I believe you can get tickets at the door. It's quite a large theatre. As for how often they play I'm not sure. Best to check ahead! :)
Wow ! Though I often go on a tour around taiwan , some of these secret and gorgeous spots I still don't hear at all. BTY , I recommend you visit the National Museum of Marine Biology , where a gigantic and cool transparent aquarium is located.
That's great to hear and thanks for the recommendation! Have you seen our other videos in Taiwan? Hope you enjoy: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist :)
wow! great video ！
As a Taiwanese , This is the best Taiwan travel video!!
Thanks so much! That means a lot to hear 😘 We're making a whole series in Taiwan if you want to check it out - some more videos are still coming: bit.ly/TaiwanPlaylist
Yeahhhh I’ll travel to Taiwán🇹🇼 tonight
Awesome! Have a great time :)
Yes, Taiwan is a hidden gem. Keep it secret, keep it safe!
So good!
臺灣真的很美，歡迎再來玩：）
ps.記得避開颱風😂
I appreciate so so much that you make so many videos introducing my home country. Among that, all videos are truly phenomenal. I live so close to Pier 2. like one-minute walk kind of close. so you know how thrilled I am when I see those clips near my home. sending you a bunch of love and hugs from KH
I love this video
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
We REALLY appreciate your amazing support, Gilbert! Huge thank you from us both! ❤️
Hey, thanks for the great videos!! Just one thing: maybe the titles of the series could ALL be BIlingual so that more audiences could be reached!! :)
You and Marc so totally got to see tons of the coolest sights everywhere, around the world. From your sightseeing in that nature reserve/water park scenery to the Taipei 101, the night markets,.. so many incredibly cool places to see around the world.
Hey Kevin! Yes, we're extremely lucky and feel grateful every day for the privilege of seeing the world. And we love sharing our adventures here! :)
i actually think Taiwan resembles a lot of Japan, the streets, architecture, colors and the urban sprawl is very dense but not very vertical
They used to be owned by the Japanese. They were controlled by the Japanese empire.
Nice video! Are you from Canada?
Wow, you know more about Taiwan than I do...
Welcome to Taiwan
Another great video! Love you guys! Have you found that Taiwan has more repurposed buildings than other places you've been? Also, I was very concerned to see the colour of your face during the climb on elephant mountain, but glad you survived it!
