Incredible 24 Hours in TAIPEI, TAIWAN - First Impressions, Food, & MORE 🇹🇼

We've made it to Taiwan, and we're so excited to dive into the hustle and bustle of Taipei! In this video, we're sharing our very first impressions and experiences as we explore this vibrant city for the first time.

Our adventure kicks off with a quintessential Taiwanese breakfast experience. From savory soy milk to crispy youtiao, we dive headfirst into the flavors of Taiwan.

Energized and ready to conquer the day, we set our sights on Elephant Mountain. A short but rewarding hike brings us to the top, where we're greeted with panoramic views of Taipei skyline, with the iconic Taipei 101 standing tall against the horizon.

Next up, we head over to Addiction Aquatic Development. Though sushi isn't exactly Taiwanese tradition, we couldn't resist the temptation of fresh seafood. Even though it wasn't the most budget-friendly choice, it felt really good to indulge and treat ourselves!

We then made our way over to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Here, we see the changing of the guards, stroll through tranquil gardens, and feed the graceful koi fish.

We had to finish the day with some local snacks. We tried a sizzling scallion pancake and a refreshing bowl of mango shaved ice topped with strawberries, and, of course, a local IPA.

We're so excited to share this new Taiwan series! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode! 💜

Hey @SammyandTommy.

Enjoy the night markets. Enjoy the Taiwan beef and noodles soup. If you want to stop at Dinh Tai Fong for dumplings, do that. They are quite famous.

Additionally, when I was there, I got to see the changing of then guards at Chiang Kai-Shek's Tomb.

Taiwan is considered to be the westernised version of China in terms of the culture and mentality. Taiwanese people are so warm, liberal and accepting.😊

The soup you ate for breakfast is actually salty(savory) soy milk, vinegar was added to the soy milk which turns it into a custard like soup.

Was this filmed before the earthquake? I guess it must have been. I think most of the devastation was south of Taipei, but I'm sure you would have mentioned it. Anyway, great video!
