First Thoughts on Taiwan | Best Things to do in Kaohsiung
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 03. 2019
- To our surprise we have arrived in Taiwan and our first spot is the southern coastal city of Kaohsiung. These are our first thoughts on this country!
During our city tour of Kaohsiung we have come across so many friendly locals who have helped us see the best things in the city. First stop we went to have a traditional Taiwanese breakfast at Xing Long Ju before making our way to the lotus pond to see the Dragon and Tiger pagodas.
On the way back to our hotel we went to Cijin island where we hired these electric "very cool looking" bikes to go around the island - heading up the lighthouse and down to the beach.
The next day we went to the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, had some mango shaved ice and ended our time here at the top of the 85 Sky Tower.

Welcome to Taiwan everybody!! It feels so special to be here and we keep coming across the friendliest locals! What are your plans for the weekend?
Editing our video from our recent Prague trip and catching up on your videos which we missed while we were traveling! By the way, we watched your Prague video before we went... It's always fun to watch your old videos and see how much you have changed! :)
The beach😍
Flying The Nest what is the name of the hotel u are stayed in right now?
It's fun.
Welcome to Taiwan. Hope next time you could come to Taichung to explore the beautiful city.
Taiwanese are the most friendliest people from all the countries I have visited.
How recently were you in Kaohsiung?
Kiwitraveller 80 thank you
Guess you haven't been to Hawaii then.
Good luck in Taiwan guys. I live in Kaohsiung and love it here...you're gonna enjoy your stay in this country :)
Hi Wes what do you do for work there, i want to move over
Hey there,i am actually travelling to Kaohsiung in July ,if possible could you suggest me about the places i could visit.thank you so much
Just visited Taipei recently. It is the most peaceful place I've ever been to. Locals are so friendly and it is so easy to travel around. Love the weather and the food. Truly a hidden gem
Wow Taiwan looks incredible! I love the guy in the background watching you guys eat your shave ice!
Taiwan is by far one of the Richest and most advanced countries in Asia. On top of that, living expense is low cost
Taiwan is beautiful! I'm adding it to my travel list right now!.
Me too. Absolutely in 2021!
Taiwan has one of the best food varieties around, from breakfast to the night markets. If the line is long, you know it'll be good. Enjoy Taiwan
I'm so happy you guys love Taiwan! We were pleasantly surprised as well when we went a couple of years ago. It's really underrated but amazing! I'm not sure if you're able, but definitely recommend Taroko National Park - it's just beautiful.
I went to taroko last year, it was awesome.
I visited Taiwan last year, December and yes, I super agree. The Taiwanese people are super friendly!! They go above and beyond to help you, as in! Someday, I’d like to explore more of Taichung and would love to visit Kaoshing, because of this vlog! You create great contents. I saw your Blog and it’s amazing! Love your vlogs too!
not only Kaohsiung's food and the people deserve you to come around , by far we had a greatest mayor of Taiwan Kaohsiung in 2018, guess what ? he will be our next president of R.O.C on Jan in 2020 without the shadow of the doubt .
@@kk61778 what the heck man no one would like to know this nonsense n cares bout tha doesn't help at all
I was in Taiwan for a few months a few years back and I agree. Taiwan is the friendliest country I've ever been to. It's a really special place
we just got back from kaohsiung last weekend and could not get over how friendly the people were, they made our trip. So so wonderful!! great video guys. we want to go back to taiwan for sure!
When thinking of travelling, taiwan is not on my bucket list but after seeing your vlog you made me change my mind. Youre such a good vlogger. Congrats
You guys just radiate such positive and joyous energy through the screen, I am so tempted to book a trip with Anywhere now!!
taiwan has nice and warm people, i agree
Well, it was different in the 1990s. WAAAAY more friendly.
Re-watching this video again for our Taiwan adventures 😆 Love the playlist🙌
Ahh hope you have any amazing time 💛
So glad you are visiting Taiwan and enjoying it! It is a beautiful place with such friendly and kind people! I lived there for 10 years and this video brings back many happy memories and thoughts of the wonderful friends I made in Taiwan. Thanks!
I was just randomly searching "travel vlog Taiwan" and came across this video! I'm literally crying and having goosebumps. Thank you so much for sharing your experience in Taiwan! It's just so amazing that people are super nice and most travellers agree to that! Thank you so much for this! We always welcome you back to our country!
Taiwan is so beautiful! I hope you have an awesome time there!
We were thinking about going to Taiwan and now we know for sure we have to! 😍😍
Its awesome! and we haven't seen any other westerners since we arrived!
Flying The Nest Taipei is the city with the most western tourists
Of all the things I miss from my vacation in Taiwan last year, Taiwanese breakfast food is very close to the top of my list, but shaved ice is number one.
My husband is from Kaohsiung! I love Taiwan so much! This trip seems really well planned and locals seem to be suggesting all the best things to eat as well! It looks like you will be going to the night market in the next video which is wonderful. I personally also love the art tea houses drinking gong fu tea, Taiwanese bakeries, stinky tofu, and xiao long tang bao or soup dumplings. I hope you fall in love with Taiwan as much as I have!
So glad you guys were on my recommendations. I love everything about you guys already. They way you edit the videos, how positive you guys are and so cute as a couple. Taiwan is definitely on my bucket list now. Thanks for taking us with you🙏🏽
The videography 😍. I feel like I’m in the video and it feels like a dream!
Welcome to Taiwan!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying my country and my home town!!! Enjoy the hospitality!!!
You're making me miss home so much!!!
Taiwan looks so cool!
So cool! I'll be in Taiwan next week for Spring Break!
Taiwan is on my bucket list, now. It looks so much fun.
It was so cool seeing how much you enjoyed Kaohsiung! I love living here, happy travels!
What a beautiful country, your so lucky having experiences like this
What a wonderful experience.
So happy to see this! I love Taiwan!! Been going there every summer for the past three years :)
What makes me go back to this channel often? The video is well-presented that it gives joy to your heart while and after watching it. It makes you appreciate life and living. Thank you to our lovely couple hosts!❤️
I’m currently writing speeches this weekend for my upcoming tour guiding job in Europe... but now there’s a part of me wishing it was for Taiwan!!! *Adds* *to* *my* *neverending* *bucketlist*
oh wow what an amazing job!! Good luck with the trip!
Loving this Taiwan series!
Half way through my study abroad trip in Europe and just found your channel. I have become obsessed with travel since January. I can't wait to come along you your trip journeys through your videos! This is so cool! I hope to go to Asia one day!
I've been here, in Kaohsiung. The people are the nicest of all. So inspiring!
Out of all the travel vlogs I’ve watched over the years, yours has provided the most information. It’s made planning my travels a lot easier! So, thank you! 🙌🏼🗺❤️
ahh this makes us so happy :)
The food you eat so delicious and I mesmerizing the country was so beautiful...
Amazing footage!! Taiwan is indeed a hidden gem in Asia 😍. Been living here in Taiwan for 3 years now and have never been to the south 😭
I love your vlogs so much! You guys are always so bright, kind and friendly. You both just have this warm and welcoming energy that I love.
So excited to see a Taiwan vlog from you guys too! Taiwan is the place I want to visit most, I've also heard everyone there is so friendly, even in the bigger cities.
Love the music and the fact you get up early for the sunrises and you go to the tourist places before anyone is there! Keep it up please x
Beautiful. Ive been to Taiwan but I never got to see those places. Lucky ❤️
Omg that man watching you both with the shaved ice! I think he was enjoying Jess's love for something that was probably so regular and simple to him as a local. I hope it reinvigorated his love for small things and for his own food and culture. I love seeing tourists in my own country enjoying things that I would normally just pass by on my way to work... Helps keep me grounded and continuously thankful.
Thanks for the great video! 😘
That's wonderful. I'm glad y'all had a good time
this was so incredibly gorgeous to watch!!!! so colourful!
I just came from your Turkey series, I wanted to say that you are the kindest people I have ever seen on the internet. Thank you for showing us the world, while being kind and respectful to the people, cultures and religions. You are truly unique in your ways. I wish to live in Australia someday, and now I whole heartedly believe I will be amongst the best people in the world.
Excited to visit Taiwan
I can not believe I never thought about going to Taiwan, it is absolutely beautiful and has definitely found a place high on my "to-go" list! What an awesome experience!!
