    Went to Taipei alone back in 2019 and what I love about it are the narrow back streets where you might to discover something.

    Hi Chris. Great info on Taipei. I believe that Taipei is an underrated tourist destination. You can enjoy the historical and cultural areas. in the West and the modern parts in the East. An amazing place to visit for sure. Take care.

    I have been to Taiwan several times. My wife is Taiwanese. This is by far the most comprehensive Taiwan/Taipei video I have seen. Hits all the highlights and really does a great job explaining things for a first time traveler. Well done. 😀
  • @clairewang7800
    Great video and I like the way you introduced Taipei to make it very easy for those who have never been there to grasp the uniqueness and learn how to best navigate it. The spots you videoed are the exact spots I would go to every time I go home to visit my beloved hometown Taipei. As someone who was born and raised there and left almost 30 years ago to move to the U.S., I truly appreciate this video and have shared it with other Americans who are also interested in visiting Taiwan for vacation! Keep up the great work!
  • @christine1188
    I like the way how you introduce Taiwan, very informative, clear and detailed. I hope you and your family had a wonderful trip in Taiwan.
  • @todays_scent
    Thank you for the recommendations, definitely useful.
  • @theaveragejoe5781
    Taipei is an amazing destination. You can spend days exploring, and the food is indeed delicious. Note that you can make many great day trips as well!
  • @chrisjones3637
    I wish more people points out the low crime rate, the friendly locals, and no one gets shot or robbed in any of the croweded night markets. That alone is something you can't find in any of the States' busy celebrations
  • @peteran4721
    Amazing guide, very detailed, thanks a lot
  • @thibaudmerlin
    Thank you for the comprehensive and accurate info, well done Chris!
  • Hi Chris, as an Australian born to Taiwanese parents, I applaud you for educating a lot of the mainstream world about Taiwan and Taipei. Great tips and tricks for a first time traveller who may be lost and confused with the complexity of Taiwan. Your chinese pronouncation is very good! I appreciate the brief albeit thorough introduction about transportation. Transportation is one of the most convenient parts of Taipei, which I miss living back home is AUS. Many people hear the drama between Taiwan and China, but don't know the marvel of the city. Thank you again Chris!
  • @Zeemutt01
    Taiwan is an amazing country, so much to see & do, my favorites are Taroko Gorge & Alishan mountain 👍👍👍
  • Thank you for the video, it’s really helpful. My son is going on a school trip to Taiwan in a few weeks, you’ve covered most of what we’ve been told and it’s just nice to see where they’re going.
