Strolling Among Rice Paddies - Yilan: Yuanshan & Dongshan - Slow Travel Adventures in Taiwan | 浩克慢遊

00:37 Skip intro | Yilan #宜蘭, Yuanshan #員山 , Dongshan #冬山
Since the opening of a faster tunnel route to this beautiful rural county, #Yilan #宜蘭 has become a backyard playground for Taipei city dwellers.
With transportation now so convenient, the diversity that Yilan has to offer-hot springs, indigenous villages, fishing ports, sandy beaches, rice paddies, natural springs, fertile soils-has attracted a wave of migration for those looking to escape city life. Some turn farmland into luxurious mansions, while others connect with the land by learning to farm.
On this episode of Slow Adventures, Avian and Kennie skip Yilan’s popular tourist destinations, traveling instead to mountainside Yuanshan and Dongshan Townships. In these idyllic rural communities, the pair strolls along irrigation canals and narrow roads winding through rice paddies, meeting locals, talking to new farmers, and learning about local culture along the way.

The casual manner and often irreverent humour of the two guides combine with a deep historical knowledge and palpable love for Taiwan to produce a cultural documentary that is frequently both enlightening and engaging, instructive and poignant.
