I was very lucky to move to Taiwan in 1973 to study Chinese and then work there for 10 years on and off until 1993 when I moved to Beijing. I went to Sun Moon lake in 1973. There was hardly any town then. This is a number 3 or 4th best tourist spot in Taiwan (Toroko Gorge is number 1, Ali Mountain, and Hualian to Ilan seashore road the other greats). Being a top tourist spot you will pay more for hotels than a big city with tons of AirBnB and hotels. Food of course is better than anywhere else, and I mean anywhere in the world. If it ain’t great, the business will soon close. No government welfare, just capitalism and survival so very strong free people.
14:11 the first memory I had this was with my grandma when I was about 3… and that was quite a while ago… you don’t see it often now I think probably only in the country side

Thanks for the tip! Bike Express also told us we probably have to take a train through that section so we will do that ☺️ 謝謝你的提示! Bike Express 也告訴我們,我們可能必須乘坐火車通過該路段,所以我們會這樣做
Accommodation in Taiwanese towns. Local breakfast restaurants are the first choice. Freshly made hamburgers, sandwiches, milk tea or Chinese breakfast, steamed buns, and soy milk Convenience stores are always the last choice. was shy about ordering food because of the language. You will lose a lot of fun:)
Milk teaa from breakfast places has cassia seeds and creamer, which can make you run to the bathroom a lot. So, it's best to skip the black tea or milk tea when you're cycling around the island."
06:16 那是石虎😊,豹貓,保育類動物。
台灣已經沒有豹了⋯⋯但有黑熊😂
謝謝您分享!石虎真的很珍貴,希望可以好好保護它們 🐾 台灣黑熊也是超酷的!🐻
Be careful, many foreigners who travel to Taiwan end up settling in Taiwan and are unable to leave. LoL...😂😂😂
哈哈哈
That's true.
Haha, we can definitely see why! Taiwan has stolen our hearts already. 🥰
Purple sweet potatoes have their natural color, so you can enjoy them without worrying about artificial dyes.
That’s so good to know! We enjoyed them even more knowing that. 💜🍠

It sounds like you had amazing experiences in Taiwan!

It was weird but yummy and we’re glad we got to try it
武嶺也是很棒的地方,騎腳踏車難度很高
武嶺真的是一個夢幻的地方!我們也聽說那裡騎腳踏車很挑戰,但景色一定非常值得!🚴♂️⛰️
It's leopard cat (石虎), not clouded leopard (雲豹). Clouded leopards are extinct and leopard cats are currently an endangered species.
Thank you for the clarification! It’s so special to see these beautiful endangered animals in Taiwan. 🐾
Great video!!!
The bath in your hotel is soooo traditional. It’s popular back in 80s.
Cheers
It was so awkward to stand in and shower because there was not flat spot to put your feet 😅
@@MaxandJacqueline and if you really try to have a bath. These beautiful small tiles’ sharp edge would scratch your skin.
Such a great design, heh?
@@MaxandJacqueline old tile tub happened when there are no shower head we just put a lot of water in it and use a bow to scoop out water while we sat on a small stool
@@Ezrollercoolso true. Classic bath.
WOW~水里夜市~
🙏🏻🤩
How inspiring! Welcome to Taiwan and stay safe!
Thank you! It’s so amazing here, and we’re having such a great time 😊🙏
Of all the countries that u 2 been to who has the best food and atmosphere?
Taiwan's food seem to have hit us as one of the best in all sincerity. We also love Italian and Indian cuisine
台灣東部,宜蘭、花蓮那一段可能需要先查詢通車情況,
20240403台灣大地震,東部有許多路段還在整修,祝福你們平安順利!

你們在水里所住的這間民宿太陽春了.... 那是家庭式的小飯店。
the owners were so kind we loved them 🧡 業主非常友善,我們很喜歡他們
That mosaic bathtub is rare in Taiwan .I think it over 40years.That is a small reminiscent hotel .How do you found it.
This town did not have many accommodation options 😅 it was fine really just a little overpriced maybe
Some old house renovation reserve that bathtub deliberately。
Yeah those tubs are 1970s era
It’s someone’s old home haha.
what brand is your bicycles?did you bring from your country?
We rented our bikes from Bike Express, there’s a link in the description, they’re a local brand and we’re so amazing! Highly recommend ☺️
南投有一座海底貝殼化石山。沒去看看太可惜了。
真的太可惜了!下次一定要去看看,聽起來很特別!🙏
加油👏
💪😅
感覺你們可以在車後面寫:單車環島中
這樣會有很多人跟你們打招呼喔😂
哈哈,好主意!下次我們一定在車後面貼上,這樣可以和更多人互動!🚴♂️😂
現在台灣的天氣會越來越冷,一定要注意身體保暖
祝福你們旅途愉快一切平安順利!
謝謝您的提醒和祝福!我們會好好保暖,旅途愉快!🙏

不能接受早上吃燕麥😂
哈哈,早上吃燕麥真的要看心情!😂
加油哦…旅行平安

You can live pretty well eating at 7/11s and night markets. Better than 90% of the world and very cheap.
So true! The convenience and deliciousness here are next level. Night markets are unbeatable! 🍢🇹🇼
