Today we're travelling to Cheung Chau (an island 10km southwest of Hong Kong Island) to see the sights, visit some shops, and most importantly- EAT THE FOOD. We had a bunch of delicious street food all for under $15!!

I don't know why nobody is making a big deal out of this but this was the best travel documentary I've ever seen. Just from the intro itself I got transported back to my teen years when I used to watch Anthony Bourdain and other travellers on TV. The way it was edited, the font that was used, the music and Tay's energy was like from a professional tv show. Not to mention that for sbd like me who has watched many travel vlogs throughout my life, I have seen so many of the big cities be done before and yet I've never heard of Cheung Chau and I found it absolutely wonderful. From the way you included that tidbit of information about the pirate who was an inspiration behind a PotC character to mentioning the data about the inhabitants' longevity (and why that is) to the interaction with that sweet older gentleman....every second of this was so enjoyable to watch. The whole island community reminds me of the centenarians in Okinawa who said that the reason for their longevity is because they are still phyically active even in old age and because they have great social bonds with the whole village and a stress free environment. This island seems like they have that as well. Taylor, you really outdid yourself with this video.

When I went to HK 8 years ago my Hongkongese friend took me to an island with street food. There were boat houses, I do not recall cars being driven, and we def went there by ferry. I now think could have been Cheung Chau! I remember stuffing myself with seafood, particularly some huge oysters baked on a grill or charcoal with all sorts of condiments.. then squid skewers, fish balls, man what a day! I never knew where I was exactly but thanks for giving me a possible explanation!
