First Thoughts on Taiwan | Best Things to do in Kaohsiung
Рет қаралды 241,657
5 жыл бұрынTo our surprise we have arrived in Taiwan and our first spot is the southern coastal city of Kaohsiung. These are our first thoughts on this country!
During our city tour of Kaohsiung we have come across so many friendly locals who have helped us see the best things in the city. First stop we went to have a traditional Taiwanese breakfast at Xing Long Ju before making our way to the lotus pond to see the Dragon and Tiger pagodas.
On the way back to our hotel we went to Cijin island where we hired these electric "very cool looking" bikes to go around the island - heading up the lighthouse and down to the beach.
The next day we went to the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, had some mango shaved ice and ended our time here at the top of the 85 Sky Tower.

Someday, I’d like to explore more of Taichung and would love to visit Kaoshing, because of this vlog! You create great contents. I saw your Blog and it’s amazing! Love your vlogs too!

not only Kaohsiung's food and the people deserve you to come around , by far we had a greatest mayor of Taiwan Kaohsiung in 2018, guess what ? he will be our next president of R.O.C on Jan in 2020 without the shadow of the doubt .

I personally also love the art tea houses drinking gong fu tea, Taiwanese bakeries, stinky tofu, and xiao long tang bao or soup dumplings. I hope you fall in love with Taiwan as much as I have!

I hope it reinvigorated his love for small things and for his own food and culture. I love seeing tourists in my own country enjoying things that I would normally just pass by on my way to work... Helps keep me grounded and continuously thankful. Thanks for the great video! 😘
