Taiwan has surprised us in so many ways! Please subscribe if you enjoyed this video! Let us know where you are from with a flag in the comments, we'll go first: 🇿🇦

I've been to over 20 countries and just visited Taiwan for the first time and can honestly say it's my favourite so far. Heavily underrated and a hidden gem. The people are incredibly hospitable and will go the extra mile to assist you even if they don't speak much English, the food is amazing, the ease of transportation is super convenient and the country as a whole is pocket friendly so if you're a budget traveller it's an ideal place to visit.

Kudos to the creators for crafting a truly exceptional video that meticulously navigates the cultural landscape of Taiwan, unfolding its myriad facets as we traverse from the northern tip to the southern reaches

“kiss and ride” is a temporary drop off/pick up spot, so you kiss your loved one goodbye after being dropped off (or greeting kiss being picked up) at the station. You two are excellent tour guides for us viewers! I visited Taiwan a few months ago and rode high speed train too. I want to go down south next time after watching you guys having so much fun!

超級精彩的紀錄片❤，彷彿是discovery頻道，真的謝謝您們的介紹！

Well done video. I studied at the Stanford Center in Taipei 1972-73 and worked for the National Palace Museum 1978-80. My daughter was born in Taiwan and my wife is from HK. I'm looking forward to getting back for a visit.

Thank you so much for introducing Taiwan to the people all over the world. Hope you can visit Taiwan soon.😊😊🥰🥰

I used to travel to Taiwan for work around 4 times a year. I found the people to be very courteous and friendly. I miss it!

I was really moved when I watched this video. The statue at the end is Xuantian Shengdi, a deity in Taoism, commonly worshipped by people on both sides of the strait. Our tradition involves celebrating every 12 years, equivalent to the Chinese zodiac cycle. When it's time to welcome Xuantian Shengdi, the village throws a grand feast, inviting friends from all over to share in the joy. Welcoming Xuantian Shengdi is akin to welcoming peace, and this is a common tradition across the Taiwan Strait. It feels so familiar and heartwarming. Thanks to the blogger for sharing.

Uh-oh! Shall I include Kaoshiong in my itinerary too? Few days from now, we’ll be visiting Taipei too. Thank you for your videos. It helps me decide what I wanted to do once we’re touchdown. Entertaining, captivating and both of you are very good story-tellers!

Looks like a fun trip. Wish you guys had longer in Taiwan to check out the beautiful east coast.

Taiwan is so advanced and beautiful people and nice. I am not Taiwanese. When I was in Europe, they said it’s poor country and dirty, I was laughing and they are so much behind Taiwan. ❤ euro think Japan is the only advanced not others asian countries

u guys gave me a lot more ideas and tips to explore my Taiwan trip juz right around the corner. Thanks Shev and Dev

👍你們很會拍攝， I miss Taiwan 🇹🇼 😢😢 Wish I can go back next year 謝謝你們介紹台灣

I'm Taiwanese, living in Kaohsiung. So glad you enjoyed trip here!! I am also left-handed, it's ok to use chopsticks with left hand. And it's really a saying that left-handed people are smart 😂 For high speed railway, because you don't have enough time. Actually you can just get on the train, no matter which car number is, and then walk inside the train to your car number and straight for your seats.😊 For "Kiss and Ride", actually that translation was been on the news before. 🤣 Because it's not normally use. It's means "Pick- up Area".

Amazing video! I'm planning to go to Taiwan this year. Thanks for this comprehensive vlog!

I've lived in Taiwan 13 years, settled in Shoufeng Hualien country great place to live, 自由民主

拍的真好，剪輯也流𣈱

As a South African whom was born in Taiwan, its great to see the common SA fellows enjoying the tour in Taiwan. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first time I watch yall (liked and subscribed soon after of course) and i already think i can get along with shev’s tastebuds her food looks sooo good

Taiwan 🇹🇼 is a beautiful country.

🇺🇸🇹🇼 the card game they are playing is called “The Big Two”. You can play it with poker cards or multiple decks of poker cards. The goal is to get rid of all the cards as quickly as possible. It’s kind of like a trick taking game (like hearts) mixed with poker. You shuffle the deck and deal all the cards out evenly amongst all the players. The first player can play a single card, a pair, 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind or a full house (2 of a kind + 3 of a kind). The next player must follow the same (a single, a pair…) but the value must be equal or larger or pass if you cannot play the same. The largest number is 2 and it wraps around with 3 being the smallest. Suites also matter in the same order as poker. You may pass strategically and jump back in later as long as not everyone has passed. You continue following the same until everyone has passed. The winner of the round starts the next round deciding the new pattern everyone must follow in the new round. Whoever is able to get rid of all the cards in their hand first is the winner.

You guys are by far the best travel video creators on KZfaq. Your videos are super interesting and also packed with all information. Keep creating such videos. Would be so nice if you can advise how can your subscribers get in touch with you to get some travel advise, that would be so nice if possible. Cheers

Shev & Dev:I wish you guys safe journeys & good luck always in Southeast Asia from Taipei, Taiwan this weekend in December of 2023❤❤❤

22:48 I ate at this shop last year; good choice! Polite staff and quick service. The meatball soup was also delicious.

Hi Guys what a great video about Taiwan! Love to see the joy you both are having. Love you videos! Discover you while you are climbing the Himalaya. You make us happy here in grey and wet 🇩🇪

Thanks Shev and Dev. Amazing Taiwan. A lot of beautiful history in Taipei, a lot foods to enjoy and night markets. Taipei to Kaohsiung on HST I love it. We’re going there next week. Thanks again.

Shev & Dev:Congratulations to you guys for heading Taipei, Taiwan last week from the Philippines in Southeast Asia to released this amazing video in great joy & peace 2023❤❤❤

Thank you for this video,So beautiful country Taiwan.😊

Those characters are from a gacha video game called Genshin Impact, by Hoyoverse. Gacha style games (like toy vending machines) are hugely popular throughout asia because they rely heavily on luck or chance. You will see them in japan and china too.

Thank you for introducing Taiwan to YT's audiences. It's a lot of fun with amazing food and a great public transportation system. It's truly underrated as atrourist destination.

1:12:45 that game is called "big 2", super fun game with ideally 3-4 people where instead of Ace being the trump card, 2 is the best in the game! Just imagine 3 players, with the deck split evenly between the 3. You can play most poker hands (singles, pairs, straight, full house, four of a kind, royal flush, etc.) in response to other people. Whoever discards all their cards first wins. Very fun game you should learn it, very simple to pick up as well. So a few rules: > If you win the current hand, you could put whatever hand next. Eg. you put down pair of Ace and no one else wants to challenge, you can begin next round with whatever hand you desire > If opponent puts down pairs, you have to put down pairs of higher value/suit, else you pass. If opponent puts down full house, you can only play full house, etc. > Four of a kind/royal flushes are rare, so they're considered "bombs". No matter what hand the opponent plays, you can throw down a bomb in response. (As long as your bomb trumps his bomb, like a King four of a kind > Jack four of a kind) > Royal flush bombs trump Four of a kind bombs. Random stuff: > People across Asia have different house rules, different suit orders, etc. Just ask the dealer how he likes to play and those are the house rules. e.g. some allow 3 of a kind, two pairs, some allow 3 of a kind to "trump" a two pair. I don't follow those rules cuz I think they're cheap hehe but play with whatever rules you like. > Whoever has 3 of clubs has to start the game with 3 of clubs (could be whatever hand, like a pair, straight, etc.) > So 52/3 isn't whole, there will be one mystery card left in the middle. Whoever has 3 of clubs (shittiest card in the deck) will take it to make their hand 18 cards (assuming odd number of people are playing) > The name is kind of a play on the Mandarin term "big 2", which could mean big dick, as in if you got the 2 of Spades you could "swing ur big dick around" lol.

26:05 If I recall correctly, the English used to make a sausage called black pudding by mixing beef blood with chip liver and rice and stuffing it into an intestine casing. I’m not sure if it’s still around, but I remember seeing it as a kid growing up. There was also a sausage called white pudding that was made with rice and intestine stuffing, but I’m not sure what kind of meat was used because the liver was red. All I know is that it had a pale white appearance.

Nice footage guys - Taiwan looks amazing

Even though I could only watch this long form video in 4 sitting, I still was committed to watching it in its entirety. So glad I did. It was a fascinating video. Especially thanks to Shev for risking life and limb on that bicycle on very busy roads. 😂😂🥂

大老二（dalaoer) is a 4player- card game where 2 is the biggest )instead of As) each will get 13cards and who finishes getting rid of the cards first wins. You start with the smallest card ie 3 ♦️ ( cards can be disposed in 1, pairs, triplets or 5s (similar to gin rummy))

Kiss and Ride is a pick-up and drop-off point outside the railway station for passengers. We have them in Canada outside the metro stations usually at terminus points.

wow wow wow TAIWAN . . . HERE WE COME. . . .THANK FOR THE RICES YOU GAVE TO PHILIPPINES>>UR AMAZING < MY FRIEND>

Taiwan is very beautiful nation with lots of exciting places to visit. People are very nice and lots of different street foods to try. Love your videos.

Just came back to Australia from Taiwan my home country one day ago. I love you guys video which just straight to the point. It’s very simple, smooth and informative!! Well done! :)

Ximen is cool , even the places on the fringes ! Dang you were in Penang , my orchid mate there .

Yes the trains leave on time :-) Getting the right one is important , I managed to get the train before mine , found out when my seat was taken :-) no sweat !

"Kiss and ride" is the area you temperarily park your car to drop and/or pick up someone. This is a common term used in the US. However, some have changed it to "cellphone lot".

Taiwan is less known and less advanced than the representative countries of Asia - Japan and Korea - but I think it is a good place to travel! Affordable prices and friendly people!

Yes Taiwan 🇹🇼 is influenced by Japan and South Korea since they r so close. U will see so much of anime and other Japanese and South Korean culture in Taiwan 🇹🇼.

感謝能如此介紹台灣的美 祝福 平安健康 事業順心.

Thanks for sharing.

Next time, on any train, just get on first, then walk to your designated cabin via the internal isle so that you don't risk missing your ride.😅
