I Hitchhiked to Taiwan's Most MAGICAL Forest | ALISHAN
In the second part of my hitchhiking journey across Taiwan, we trade the serenity of Sun Moon Lake for the misty mountain trails of Alishan National Park. Hitchhiking through Taiwan is always full of surprises-there’s no set plan, just a lot of patience and keeping up hope that the right car will stop. Join me in this final part to see what hitchhiking (to me) is all about, and experience the warmth of Taiwanese hospitality with us :)
🛣️ What's in this video:
*Hitchhiking to Alishan: See what it’s actually like to hitchhike - it’s all about patience and keeping a smile on your face.
*Shizhao: We make our way to a small tea plantation town near to Alishan, where we spend the night.

HITCHHIKING to the Sun Moon Lake | The Kindness of Taiwanese People

In the first part of my hitchhiking adventure across Taiwan, I take on the unpredictable challenge of traveling to Sun Moon Lake. Taiwan is known for its friendly locals, but how will they react to hitchhikers? From language barriers to unexpected kindness, this journey turns into more than just a ride-it’s about the people, the stories, and the adventure along the way. 🛣️ What's in this video:...

    In olden days people used to walk a lot but now people in Pakistan don't pay attention to daily walk which is very important to relax body and mind. It may be due to busy life but house people especially women are also overweight due to lack of exercise and walk. As i m not doing exercise but i do almost all prayers in a day which keeps me fit.

    I've enjoyed watching your very well made videos in Taiwan. In this episode, I think the place you stayed is 石槕, pronounced as Shi Zhuo, and like Xi Ding 隙頂, maybe a dozen kilometers down, it is known for the many tea plantations along the Alishan Highway. Much of Taiwan's premium Alishan tea comes from these two places, which are often shrouded in fog, especially in the afternoon, giving much needed moisture to the tea plants there.
