HUALIEN surprised us! (5 things to do in Taiwan's most beautiful city!)

I am very surprised that you also went to Hualien. I lived in Hualien for more than a year and served as a soldier! (Young men in Taiwan are in good health and are obliged to serve in the military)...During those days, when I still call me going to Hualien, it was not "going" to Hualien, but "going back" to Hualien...the mountains there, The sea, aborigines, streams and rivers are so shocking and nostalgic... When we were in the military camp in Hualien, we often went to Taroko Gorge to explore during the holidays. Before the National Park banned people from playing in the water, we also went to swim in the Shakadang River... Haha... We like to ride in the middle of the night The locomotive goes to the Yexi Hot Spring deep in the canyon, soaking in the hot spring in the canyon at night... that is a very memorable memory... If you come back to Hualien next time, I suggest you rent a locomotive to travel... As long as you have a locomotive, Then you will be able to play more places and adventures... When I was watching you walking on the Shakadang trail, I didn’t realize your editing creativity... Later I understood... You took the process of walking Shakadang as a backbone and a big tree, and connected them in series , interspersed with... other clips of your travels in Hualien... this is a great idea... like a big tree stretching out its branches and leaves... haha. Another thing that surprised me was... You actually went to the estuary of the Hualien River, which is the tip of the starting point of the Haimai Mountains... that place, Taiwanese people don't necessarily know... this is amazing. Hualien and Taitung are beautiful places, very suitable for living for a while...I know that there are many artists who live in seclusion in Hualien, and some foreigners who come to Taiwan live there...Some of them live in Taitung, surfing and tracing the river every day And adventures... such as this youtube.com/@followxiaofei Next time you have the opportunity to go back to Hualien, let’s have fun for a few more days! I wish you all the best.

"I don't know how Taiwan doesn't have a higher profile." Exactly what I was thinking today as I walked through Beitou (thanks for that helpful video, too, by the way!).

Taiwan is an amazing country, such a small island with many mountains, beautiful scenery, and beautiful coasts all around! If your next stop is Taitung, you can go surfing~~😆

This episode is really great, I was very moved after watching it, you have studied Hualien very thoroughly! No matter the theme, content, dialogue, editing are beyond the standard! This kind of excellent quality video is not inferior to the programs of TLC channel at all, I hope everyone can help share your videos! In fact, TLC channel can consider adopting your videos or directly hire you both as producers and hosts! The scenery in eastern Taiwan is really amazing, and through your video, I can feel that the local air quality must be very good! Watching you walk that dangerous path, my feet feel paralyzed unconsciously! You found that the roof with a 360-degree panoramic view of Hualien is really amazing, I want to give you applause! Kuann-tshâ-pang/ 棺財版 is a Taiwanese snack, a local specialty in Tainan, and is also well-known in Hualien. It was founded in the 1940s in the market commonly known as Shakariba on Zhongzheng Road, Tainan. Taroko's bamboo tube rice is special because it must be taken from fresh bamboo, so the rice will have a light bamboo fragrance! It is completely different from the bamboo tube rice that is sautéed with white rice or added with too much seasoning in general tourist attractions. Thanks a lot to you for your hard work and sharing this amazing video! 👍🥰🙏

Taiwan deserves higher profile internationally. From my experiences, Taiwan is always confused with Thailand to a lot of foreigners. China is another factor making Taiwan less-mentioned around the globe. Taiwan has to boost itself more to the world. Taiwan is not only famous TSMC(microchips) and Boba milk tee. We have amazing landscape, 268 mountains over 3000 meter high, beautiful beaches, friendly people, affordable and delicious food and convenient transit. We need you to tell your audiences Taiwan is an underrated hidden gem.

Awesome video guys! What a gorgeous area 😍 We've never been to Taiwan, but now we're going to have to check it out!

Ah this feels so nostalgic. I love Hualien. I've been there twice and I can't wait to be back again next year. Thank you for the beautiful video, guys.

I remember my first trip in Hualien it was breathtaking. Well done video and great quality 🔥

Remembering Taroko 太魯閣goroge，all my early years memories rush back to me😢, l can’t help being nostalgia. I have left my home country Taiwan 50 years ago living in Florida.

Coffin Toast originates from Tainan. When it was first invented back in the 40s, the stuffing mainly consisted of chicken liver. In the 90s, chowder was introduced as a filling, which significantly boosted its popularity. As a result, the fillings nowadays predominantly feature a chowder base.

Watching you guys enjoying everything my childhood home has to offer puts a smile on my face.

Your trip really reminded me of my trip with my wife just a few weeks ago. Temple >hike> night market. Everyday for three weeks. And we never got sick of it. Hope you two enjoyed Taiwan.

Thanks very much for sharing the link to apply for permits for the Zhuilu trail otherwise I will totally missing it. I am visiting next month so I can't wait. I am watching all your videos and taking notes. you two are awesome, thanks again!!!👏

Currently planning a taiwan trip this coming november. You’re videos have been so useful! Great work you two!

going to hualien this thursday, I like east taiwan so much , it's just beautiful . and if you come to taiwan next time, highly recommend the "southern cross-island highway" (between taitung and tainan), a high mountain road, the scene is super beautiful

Omg, this all looks SO gorgeous! I’d prob’ be hanging onto that rope just like Alan, high up on that trail. Amazing wildlife, AND they have Family Mart, too? 😊 Can’t wait to visit one day - sounds like there’s so much stunning nature & wildlife to be had!

Haha 17:53 is a really nice edit. The singing fits perfectly with the background music. This kind of stuff sets you channel apart. Thanks for another great episode.

We visited Hualien everytime when we back to Taiwan in the past years. Thanks for the awesome video.

The idea of coffin toast is originally from Tainan, the city which is famous for food. The one you got was a creative version with different stuffing. If you guys visit Tainan oneday, make sure to have more. 😉
