solo traveling to Taiwan: Jiufen, day trip to Taichung, cafes, bookstores, cheap local eats!

just that cute taxi uncle making sure he didn't over charge you and being so sweet with directions is peak Taiwan in all its gentleness and warmness :')

“If you ever want to talk shit to your boyfriend, start bouldering” took me out 😂 I love your interaction with the taxi driver, so sweet! Thank you for documenting your solo trip to Taiwan, really inspires me to explore places on my own ☺️

I too solo traveled in Taiwan. I flew into TPE and took the train, using the EasyCard, to Taichung where I spent the night. After waking up and spending a few hours in Taichung, I jumped a couple buses and another train to Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung is awesome! I ate some wonderful food and met so many adorable people that helped me to practice the Chinese language. Lotus pond was blissful and randomly found myself with a family in their heritage temple: praying, burning incense, giving offerings, etc. Also, helped an old grandmother brake down a table. Afterwards, she invited me into her house so she could cook me dinner. Going to Taiwan was one of the best moments of my life.

Loved this for you!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!

OMG welcome to Taiwan!! I'm a Taiwanese who has been living in the States for over 15 years, and seeing this just makes me really miss home. Hope you have a great time there!"

Weylie, I'm 33 and have been watching you since the tampon video, I always admired your slim build but buff weylie!!! omg so proud of you! I am way too dependent on my bf to travel alone but this is almost convincing me to. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Weylie, made me tear up a little bit. Been watching you for 4 years now and watching you be so down to earth and grow as a person has been the best!

I adore travel vlogs! This video reminds me of the beauty of Taiwan, the nostalgia of watching Taiwanese dramas in the past. What always made an impression on me was the beautiful lush greenery, the mountains among the city. Taiwan is somewhere I would love to visit one day.
