The scenery looks beautiful. The fire! Wow! I preferred the second story too. The clay pot chicken looked delicious. Happy to see you both are enjoying your time in Taiwan!
What we've learned is that this particular natural wonder was more impressive prior to the 1964 earthquake. It's still an impressive natural phenomenon. The food was excellent! But the fish really did take center stage that day. Mmm 🤤. Do you still have plans to move to Taiwan? ~JB
@@Justin_Leah Absolutely! Just waiting for an opportunity. I reached out to Sunday and waiting for a reply. I know tourism just opened for tourism. I also noticed there’s been changes to the requirements for teaching. Hopefully things will work it self out.
Chinese culture has such amazing legends and they vary from regional region with Taiwan having its own unique take on certain things. That became really relevant to us when asking people about the lunar New Year celebration.
Last winter, it was the first time for me and my family to stay overnight at National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Pingtung. It was really fun!
The water fire cave is not much to see honestly, but there are quite a few hiking trails with great view. In cooler days, the combination of hiking, hot spring, and chicken is perfect for a day trip.
We really love the chicken! And the fish! We still think that it is an interesting geological phenomenon. We tried to find photos of it dating back to before 1964 to see if its size was any greater than what it is now.
@@Justin_Leah It was much bigger at least according to older people. There was a big earthquake a few decades ago that broke up the fire across that area, since then it shrunk significantly. Now we locals don’t go there so much. BTW, forgot to add coffee to that mix.
The drive was a bit challenging for us and we were so impressed how the locals could try the road so much faster than we could. Lol! Thank you for watching 🙂
Looks like fun. I know Taiwan just lifted basically all travel restrictions and I was looking to visit in March. Are most places open fully? Are masks still mandatory in every nook and cranny of the country?
Yes the country is fully open. Some nationalities must still go through quarantine, so your passport will actually carry a lot of weight. And yes masks are STILL required everywhere. Have you been to Taiwan before?
@@Justin_Leah I'm American. I've been to Taipei International Airport about 10 or 12 times for layover to Malaysia, but that obviously doesn't count. According to the health board it seems like they are gradually trying to drop them but according to Formosa English News, it looks like they will stay in effect for the duration of winter to help mitigate against the spreading during rhe cold season.
amigo. really ccool view.=)
Thanks! We were both really impressed how much we could feel the heat from such a small flame but it seems to burn pretty hot!
I continue to love learning about the area and cultures of Taiwan. It is such a beautiful place!!!
Aww, thank you! We keep learning ourselves while we're making these :-) ~JB
The scenery was so nice. Remind me of Taiwanese movie 🍿 great with popcorn
Thank you! To see fire coming out of water was a very impressive geological phenomenon! However, the best part of the day for me was the food! 😆~JB
Hello, I had a great time chatting in this morning (earphones)
It was lovely meeting you! Thank you for letting us look at your earphones 🎧 😊

Hahah, yep that second legend is a lot more appealing! 😂

That's awesome! We really want to do that too! I think we can buy tickets on Klook, right? Thanks for watching!
Yes! I bought our tickets from Klook. Have fun!😄😄

Great video :)
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
The natural fire/water combo is a trip! You guys are awesome ❤
