Taylor, pls don’t ever stop doing this series!! Reminded me so much of my time in Hong Kong… I rly enjoy watching ur adventures so much :’))
Does anyone know a youtuber with the same vibe as Taylor? (heartfelt, creative, never lame or predictable, preferably based in an interesting locations as I love this kind of outdoor documentaries)? Sorry to ask but Taylor's videos really help me with my anxiety as they are so calming and interesting, and since I've already watched all her old videos I'd love to watch something similar.
@@lauragoreni3020 Taylor is really unique, I think, but if you like creative, reflective souls, you might like Miss Mina Oh. She usually travels the world but is exploring local areas in the US for now. I love both of their content deeply.
@@lauragoreni3020 I think you might enjoy Miriam Follin. She shares about her life as a Swedish woman living in rural China with her Chinese husband. I especially love watching her and her mother-in-law make traditional Chinese food and snacks.
@@lauragoreni3020 Try Cari Cakes - same thing but in Korea!
@@lauragoreni3020 Check these people:
1. Lexi Limitless, she's the youngest person to evrr travelled to every country in the world. She's fierce, positive and her videos and story open minds.
2. Drewbinski - He's also a world traveller, 3 countries left from visiting all the countries in the world.
Both Lexi and Drew Binski are the kind of people who don't just go to tourist spots but they went down to dangerous and authentic places like staying with tribes, going to Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.
Very refreshing 🙂
3. Yes Theory - they are not travel channel specifically but they have few travel content and other open minded daring things to do. One of the guys there bungee jump with Will Smith from helicopter on a grand canyon.
4. Lost LeBlanc - world traveller with great footage etc.
5. Backpacker Tampan - traveller with thorough and great footages and experience. He was Lost Leblanc's former assistant.
cant believe I get to watch such quality content for free, always so thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented thank you Taylor I love living vicariously through u ahaha
Ahhh thanks for this! I appreciate it ❤️
I was thinking the same! Thank you Taylor for making so enjoyable and educating videos
Siento mucha paz cuando veo tus videos Taylor 💕 gracias por eso tengo lagrimas de felicidad en los ojos 💕
well said Mary :)
Shes amazing!
I love how you don’t just live IN Hong Kong. Instead, You LIVE Hong Kong. Your vlogs make it seem enchanting. I love how everyone is so ready and willing to share their culture.
Do you happen to know a youtuber with the same vibe as Taylor? (heartfelt, creative, never lame or predictable, preferably based in an interesting location as I love this kind of outdoor documentaries)? Sorry to ask but Taylor's videos really help me with my anxiety as they are so calming and interesting, and since I've already watched all her old videos I'd love to watch something similar.
@@lauragoreni3020 Unjaded Jade maybe? I dont watch her a lot but I think she's still on a uni course that makes her move to several countries and cities and learn about each one's story. The youtuber is a lot younger than Taylor and focuses a lot on studying and growing as a person buut maybe you would like her nevertheless.
Taylor has a gift when it comes to showing the humanity, culture, and history of these special places. These videos are like a love letter to Hong Kong in a time where morale and hope is very dim. Thank you for sharing the beauty that is Hong Kong. Love from Toronto!
Thank you so so much ❤️
Yes, I can't believe a certain loser RUclipsr said she's a basic white girl making Japan/Hong Kong videos without actually experiencing the country 😠
@@breakfastattiffanys741 haters gonna hate right?
@@breakfastattiffanys741 What? Who said that? Her Hong Kong videos are bloody brilliant
@@soulseeker153 I can't remember his name but he's made rant videos on a lot of successful female RUclipsrs, the man is clearly jealous! 😂
15:30 not sure why this made me tear up that’s so cute to have a book full on visitors’ memories and his super enthusiastic “of course!” really tipped me over the edge please my heartttt🥰😭
Haha wow I had the exact same! Just so wonderful to see genuine hospitality and positive people... It really touched my heart
I listened to the "of course!" a couple of times, it was so enthusiastic 😭❤️
Oh my god I just had the same moment where I just teared up at the wonderful and full of love energy this village has! Such a great vlog and that moment was so cute too!
I really came to appreciate Hong Kong through your content Tay, the place is so vibrant and full of history. I've been following you since 2015, you really did a 180 with your channel and I'm here for it!
Aww thank you, I’m glad I can portray Hong Kong in a positive way to you. I really love this city ❤️
Taylor doesn’t make a lot of vlogs, but they’re well worth waiting for!! Better than any travel show series or documentary. Never staged, just wholesome and authentic her interactions with the locals. Always informative and well researched.
🇨🇦 Taylor makes us proud!!!
Hong Kong has some of the MOST wholesome people, I swear. They’re so kindhearted and just precious. We must protect them at all costs 🥺
YES ❤️
Ikr im in Virginia but i want to visit Hong Kong some day. She makes it look like a magical place. 💚 Love your videos Taylor
Exactly, been inlove with Hong Kong as it was the first country I've visited. It was so magical for me and now I kept coming back. Will definitely go with my family once we can travel again.
I lived in hk and ppl in the city are way different than the ones u meet in Tai O, they aren't as nice as you think :( just a little heads up
thank you!! as a hker :)
Yesss this quality content was worth the wait 🙂
Thank you ❤️❤️ enjoy it!
when "La Vie En Rose" was playing, I got a bit misty-eyed. You look so happy, you could just fly away
Saame, i teared up for some reason. It was so idyllic
I love how the artist drew his house that burnt down 💛😭
Might have had a Photographic memory to be abel to draw it like that.
My mother in law grew up in this village , her primary school is still there ! It is so quaint , it was like I stepped back in time into an old Hong Kong movie ...
Your videos are on another level! Love the stories and the editing. These are National Geographic worthy videos ❤
Oh gosh, thank you! ☺️❤️
I've been watching you so long !
I've watched you grow as a person.
I'm so proud of you ! !
I miss Tay 2.0, you've clearly notched up to 3.0 now ! Mostly the daily/weekly & Vlogmus etc. But 3.0 has brought 🔥 to your uploads girl !!! You've always had the knack of making learning about the country and towns/cities you've lived in, I'm a Tay fan forever !!
Keep the great video coming we all love them and you, Tom, the onrey old side kick (I hope she's well and enjoying life) and hope to meet your new sidekick and learn more of her!!
I'll close out my book comment now !! 😆
Much love 💘 & shower Rosie with lots of kisses and chicken
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! Super kind of you 🥰❤️
I love when you post videos such as these. This gives someone like me who isn't able to travel at the moment a glimpse into the history of a different place.
love seeing small tightly knitted communities it’s so heartwarming
Dear Taylor,
I usually never comment on videos but I just wanted to thank you for creating this amazing content for us. I am going through a hard time right now and your videos always help me so much and brighten up my day! 💕
You are truly inspiring :)
Literally all i want in life is for you to have your own travel tv show on a tv network 😭 I would PAY to see that!!!
“would ya like alcohol?!”
“it’s four o’clock.”
💀💀💀
I know that's so cute of Taylor.
They underestimated our girl. If she can handle stinky tofu, she can handle shrimp paste fried rice ✨
😆👍❤️
Gross
Shrimp paste fried rice is normal. Stinky tofu on the other hand.. not everyone likes it. My family is chinese descent. My dad likes it but I don't.
I’ve lived in homgkong my whole life and I can’t even handle shrimp paste!
The Quality of this Video is just......damn Taylor.....it's incredible.
Why did I wanna cry when La Vie en Rose started playin? You could really see how much you had taken in during that moment, and how much of an impact this unique place had. So happy to have gotten to experience it second hand through you :) Thanks for the quality content as always!
I went to Tai O for a class trip two years ago, and we were lucky enough to spot the pink dolphins during our boat ride! 🥰 Keep doing these types of videos, it really makes me happy to see a RUclipsr here in Hong Kong, it’s amazing to see how there’s so much to HK than just a busy city centre👾
Taylor's mini documentaries educating us on so many fascinating and cool things 😄♥️ love it
that Tai-o donut looks a lot like a german Krapfen- a seasonal pastry for christmas time. I love it . airs sugary crunchy on the outside and somewhat moist dow on the inside but in very thin sheets, like it bubbled on the inside .
Your travel vlogs really are so well done. You not only discover the place, but also the people who live and work there every day. Also the history and the future, your videos make me so inspired 🥰
Taylor's vlog stills are hilarious. She always looks so pensive when the topic is just light hearted.
It's not hilarious it's amazing. Bloggers who are only light-hearted don't usually focus too much on the aspects of the local culture in such a cool way as Taylor does.
@@lauragoreni3020 I know, but I think she chooses a dramatic thumbnail to be funny, that's why I find it funny.
I'm new to your channel, Taylor and I can stop watching....As a older woman I didn't think there were any young people like you out there. You are and old soul in an adorable package. You bring so much class and wisdom to any subject you take on. You are truly a blessing to your viewers. Me included !
Taylor I really appreciate these videos u do about Hk. 🥰🥰
❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I grew up loving Chinese cinema and have been studying Wing Chun on and off for the last 5 years. Our Sifu is from Hong Kong originally, and I though I love all of your vlogs, your Hong Kong vlogs are extra special because they give me a better window into his culture. The first year we were students, Sifu took our class to Chinatown in Chicago. We started the day off with Dim Sum, where he would send out various dishes to different tables and joyfully watch us try them. We visited the tea shops, and he also went to an herb shop to gather dried herbs for Dit Da Jow. That day was one of my favorite memories, and my husband and I would love to be able to travel to Hong Kong one day. Anyway, I had been to Chinatown before, but that day we had a special vantage point of really seeing the heart of Chinese culture. I don't think there is enough of a focus on that, the hearts of the people. Thank you for doing that so wonderfully!
Awh I started to tear up when the music was playing with the sun setting in the background
I just realized why everything looks so fresh to me because when I visited HK, I only saw buildings but this video made me see HK in a new landscape. So refreshing!
your culture-focused videos like this are my absolute favorite!!
I have to say your videos on the slice of life of Hong Kong are incredible! I never heard of this before and I feel like you really capture the heart of the people. Thank you for much for the education and entertainment!!! Love you gal!
I don't know why but this documentary vlog just made me very emotional.
Maybe because the way you show us those beautiful places with a lot of history and very kind local people, just touch me more than regular vlogs about people visiting places and shops but not socialising with the (local) people and owners of those places and shops.
I dunno, I just how passionately you show us those magical places and the people in it. It just touches me so deep.
That's why I keep following you for several years. Your energy and passion and love for culture and its communities is just amazing to be overwhelmed with
Thank you for showing us this beautiful side of Hong Kong it really felt like we were there with you, and learnt so much from the locals!
This is so good! You integrated the present and the history of Tai O, and even deep down to residents’ connections with the place. Your angle and understanding of the local culture as a foreigner staying in HK gave you insights to see Hong Kong in a more interesting viewpoint :)
wow… just wow… Taylor, this series is amazing. the details, the framing of each clip, the stories of HK and its residents. it’s clear that a lot of love and hard work has gone into it, and I can’t wait to see more!
Taylor you deserve your own dedicated travel show on a bigger platform. This is wholesome content.
This town really made me so emotional because it's the life I've been searching for 🙏🏻
Aaaaaaaaa i wanna go back to Hong Kong so bad 😭 literally the first country i visited outside my own and is still my most favorite place on earth. I hope to get the chance to visit HK once again and maybe a chance to meet you when it's already safe. Stay safe and healthy, Tay 💛 Rooting for you always!
I love this series! I've spent so much time in HK and it makes me realize how much i miss it and how much i don't know about it - thank you for all the time you put in
I so appreciate the availability and quality of your closed captions. Even as a native English speaker without a hearing disability, I love using them to make sure I'm getting every word. The extra time you put into getting them right, instead of just letting them auto-generate, is very obvious and appreciated.
Omg this just made my whole day - a new Taylor video!! Hope everyone's having a great week 😊❤️
Yay! 🥰❤️ We all hope you’re having a great week too! Enjoy the video 😊
I loved this video so much. I learned so much about Tai O. These people have bounced back from the worse and made their homes and lives better. I hopethese city stays strong and the government continues to support this city. I hope I can visit this place. Thank you Taylor for sharing this, it was truly fascinating to watch.
I feel so special when foreigners vlog in Hong Kong
Ahhhh, so happy for this upload. I love how you are able to connect with locals and share their experiences with us.
Really good video! I never knew communities like this existed near HK. That’s really unfortunate they don’t let people build more homes or sell but I guess it also keeps cost of living down if rich people can’t start moving in and turning the stilt house properties into Airbnbs or vacation homes. Seaside communities have the best food too. I wonder why they don’t build the houses higher if there’s risk for periodic flooding.
When you where enjoying the sunset at the beach and La vie en rose started playing… that was such a beautiful moment, it made me cry.❤️ Great content, thank you!💕
I miss Hong Kong 🇭🇰 so so so much 🥲 Thank you Taylor 💕💕💕
🥰🥰🥰
taylor is always serving us travel channel vibes and entertaining vlogs, while simultaneously being a lifestyle channel that teaches us beauty, fashion, and how to cook 😂 every video i feel more blessed and cultured
Please keep making these! it's always the highlight of my day when I get to watch these. It always makes me want to be like these people and be a blessing to the community. Love you and your content
I never knew Hong Kong had places like that. I'm discovering a new aspect of Hong Kong thanks to you.
It’s my first time leaving comment on your channel. I can feel the heat & humidity from the screen and i understand how much effort you’ve put in. Thanks!
I was so lucky to visit Hong Kong and Tai O back in 2018 for my illustration degree at university. Watching this video made so many memories flood back! We sat in Solo cafe- the owner has a sketchbook you can sketch and draw in when you visit! So that's my mark I left in Tai O :) Thank you for sharing your time in Tai O with us Taylor!
Taylor, your videos are seriously so impressive. I’m sure plenty of people would still watch your videos if you just showed us the pretty surroundings and yummy-looking food, but you always go above and beyond to connect with the locals and learn deeply about the places you go. So many touching stories and passionate people we are shown through your videos. Great job 👏🏽
Every time you upload its like unwraping a beautiful gift.
The excitement, the satisfaction, the pure luxury!
Thank you!
I love that you had the people of Tai O speak for their city, instead of only sharing your impressions and the history. What a beautiful place with such kind people! They will make a great life for themselves
I love your exploration videos! 💜
They always make me smile and feel warm-hearted✨
La vie en rose.......so beautiful.....makes me cry every time.....💗
Everytime I see these types of videos of taylor I feel like I'm traveling with you haha love it. Love you Taylor
Folks in Tai O seem so chill, friend and warm people. The gentle man was right. In city side it's work, home and shut the door 😭. I recently started talking with mu neighbors in elevator and some times when we are closing the doors and it feels much better NGL. A bit of communal spirit is very important for well being aswell. Definitely planning a trip there.
As an ABC (American Born Chinese) to Cantonese immigrant parents, this is so appreciated to know my parent's culture. I love how you are able to give history, food & culture of Hong Kong, past & present! I can't stop watching your videos! 🤩
You have always been good but these videos about different aspects of old HK are wonderful, so interesting and engaging. Miss vlogmas in Toronto but these are on a whole new level. Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE these types of videos so much. I feel like I learn so much and they make me want to hopefully visit someday!!
Gosh this was such a lovely video - chills and tears. Your vlogs are so touching.
Constantly impressed with how the professionalism of these videos has grown while still keeping the heart and goofiness that is you- the light and energy that local people respond to because your curiosity and joy is so genuine.
I love being able to see such artful and historical places through your eyes ❤️
Thank you so much for making these types of videos!! Not being able to travel back to Hong Kong makes me very sad but watching your content of exploring HK makes me feel so much better! Plz continue this series...I love it~
Yay our favourite youtuber posted new content! Lots of love Taylor, from the 🇬🇧 !
I still remember crossing it on the flat wooden sampan. Thanks for sharing your Tai O experience.
Thank you Taylor for another great vlog. My brother in law grown up in Tai O . Now he and my sister most of the time stay at Tai O. It's so nice to watch your view about this island that fill of Hong Kong histories. My face and my heart are smiling when i watch this vlog. It's part of my home. It's so far but it's so close to my heart. Thank you again for this vlog and you are cute when the guy asked if you want alcohol and you asked what time is it now :) . Looking forward to your next vlog.
As a CBC with parents from HK, this channel really brings back a lot of memories from when I would spend my summers in hk 🥺 please keep making these videos, they are such gems on RUclips ❤️
An amazing spotlight and exploration of this beautiful and interesting location. Nicely done Taylor! I hope you are well 💖👑
This place is so beautiful and down to earth. It’s nice to still have places like this in the world that are so unique.
I love this! What a hidden gem! I would never know about these places if it wasn't for people like you and Norm from Tokyo lens!
Norm makes great videos! 😍
My dad is from HK, but I was born in UK. My family and I came here before many times on holiday but I never properly knew this place. In 2019 I moved here with my partner for work, and as we freely explored HK I fell in love with its culture and juxtaposition of city and nature. It's great that HK is small enough so that it doesn't take long to travel to different parts.
We spent one night in Tai O a few months ago and it's amazing and kinda surreal to see all the same sights in your video! :) I saw all the stilt houses, stray cats, artwork, I ate the same mango "tong bat lat 糖不甩"! We are both vegan, so we walked a bit further (along the promenade bridge) to a nearby village where there are 2 vegetarian restaurants there.
Finally, I just want to thank you so much for making these incredible videos about HK because it's an amazing place. I used to think I should make videos about HK but you've covered that. 😆 You've really captured the beauty of HK! I think it's especially important to record and showcase what HK is like. I actually get emotional sometimes thinking that the HK that people love may be changing someday... So many people have fled or are fleeing HK because they think the future is bleak here. 😥
This is documentary material!!! Thank you for taking us along to a place most of us will never be able to go. So wholesome! My heart is full. Thank you Tay ♥️
Literally the most genuine and heart melting travel vlog video ive ever watched! I love the way you travelled slowly, enjoyingly, respectfully and curiously to the local culture! Throughout the video can obviously be felt that you did not try to monetise your vlog to sell anything to the audience, but genuinely enjoy the place, its vibe, its local food and its warm people! I truly love this vlog Taylor ❤️!
i lived in tai o up till 12. now i am already a middle age ah che. thanks for making such a nice video! it's pretty much one of the best one i have watched on youtube featuring Tai O! Merci!
It’s like a whole new level of blogging. Just WOW. Thank you for the quality content, Taylor ❤️
I love how you include historical details and the local population and their own stories 🙏☺️💙
This was amazing to watch! So many beautiful places to see and experience in this world😍
I watched you all through Covid and want to thank you for such lovely, fun, informative, creative heartfelt videos. I’m so glad to find you thriving 🥰🥰🥰🥰🦋🦋🌈🤘🌟♥️🎶🎶
Taylor, you are so.talented in interviewing people. That was very touching and interesting.
I love your videos because one day I want to see Japan and Hong Kong and experience the culture. The people you encountered were so nice and genuine.
Dear god... Every time I watch a video of you visiting places I feel like I am the person traveling and not you. Thank you so much for this type of content, it is so wholesome that it made me cry several times!
Hong Kong is my homeland and I'm living in Canada now....!!! It's been over 10 years last time I went back...must have been changed a lot !!! Thanks for bringing me along with you 💕
This was so beautiful Taylor!! Absolutely love the style of this video is love to see more 💜
I kinda miss your more personal videos but one thing I noticed is how hard working you are Taylor, the only youtuber who puts soooo much effort into their videos
Love to get to learn new things while watching vlogs! Looks so much fun😍 Watching your videos always makes me feel better, really needed it today. Thanks for sharing and the hard work you put in!✨
Thank you, still some foreigners love the food and scenes and landmarks of Hong Kong, thank you.
estoy fascinada con el canal de esta chica, lo descubri hace poco y aunque no entiendo ingles del todo me maravilla todo lo que muestra y yo puedo aprender. es realmente admirable! thank you
I've been there before. Was part of a tour that also included a visit to the big Buddha statue and a cablecar ride. Beautiful village, relaxed compared to the streets in the city
Great video Tay, one of my favs! Thanks for showing a part of the world most of us may never see in person. Keep up with these kind of doc style videos. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦🇭🇺
Sometimes I can't believe your content is free because this quality can't be found anywhere else on RUclips. Please keep it up, we will continue to support it!
I visited here when I studied in Hong Kong! It's great to learn a little more about it.
Finally my wait is over… been waiting for Taytay new videos for weeks 😢
It brings me happiness, watching the beautiful land, shops, foods, people’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A husband ... $30 only .. a steal. that made me laugh so hard, not even 30 seconds in 😂
this town was featured on a Netflix Series "restaurants on the edge"!
Yes The Banyan Tree was!
