Oh man, you didn't get the bento box. The taiwanese have a joke where unlike japan where the trains sells bento boxes, taiwan railways is a bento company operating trains

As a Brit who was lucky enough to quit Eurostar to come and drive 700Ts in Taiwan 🇹🇼 I have to say this is a joyous country to drive in. Coming from the flat East Anglian countryside, looking at mountain ranges towering over rice fields is a joy to behold. I live in Taichung so the things to do to put on your list are, feng chia night market(a Taiwanese thing) earthquake museum, natural history/science museum, opera house and cycle paths up to the mountains. One in particular is a disused railway line which was devestated in the big Taiwan earthquake in the 1990s. Picturesque and a welcome cool tunnel over a km long to get some respite from the hot weather.
Nice video as always.

Mmmm like 15 years ago the same route back. Slow train with no reserved seats, a 7h trip standing up, a total mess! I fell in love with the country though, amazing!

[Legionnaire]

Taiwan is a beautiful country. I remember having to take a domestic flight from Taipei to Kaohsiung before the HSR was built in 2007

[manosm]

Bustling cities in a beautiful green landscape, this is

[azuma]

Fun fact: Although the trains are based on the Shinkansen, the railway itself was built to European standards, thus the front design is not as aerodynamic as their Japanese counterparts, the tunnels on the Japanese domestic system are much narrower so a more slanted front was needed.

Shinkansen trains nose are the best thing ❤

Welcome to Taiwan. The suspension of Taiwan's high-speed rail business cars is different from that of ordinary cars. It is recommended that you take a ride to compare.

[katherinespencer]

Only wish that the trains here in the USA were as efficient and reliable as they are in other countries. Love your videos!

[imwsss]

East Asia has the world’s best HSR systems, and they lead the industry in different ways.

[xdnatuurkunde]

6:50 I believe the announcements are in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka and English

[mavadelo]

0:46 when I was born it was the Empire State Building which now doesn't even break the top 50 anymore.

Taichung City has become Taiwan's the second largest city of Taiwan in 2017.

Kaohsiung is now the third largest city but still has the largest port.

Both cities are unique and vibrant

[Karaniaost]

Always exciting to watch your videos on high speed railways, i never miss it.

[jappedut]

Those trains looks more and more like aeroplanes 😊

[吳秉樺-bj]

Originally, the rolling stock is the combination of ICE1 locomotive with TGV double-deck coach, but we later switch to the Shinkansen system.

[JackTorr]

I loved travelling with you on this day mate! The train was great!

13:37 I'd definitely recommend checking out the city hall area for some more modern things, as the area is full of nice tall skyscrapers, and the city hall and the national theater is there too. other areas I'd recommend are the liuchuan riverside walk, the Museum of fine arts, and the Confucius temple.

[marsillinkow]

Oh, you misspoke at 12:30. It was built in 2007, just slightly earlier than china's network which were in testing then and opened in 2008

everything about the rail experience here reminds me of Japan, so awesome - the most scenic high speed line i've been on is between Hiroshima and Hakata, darting in and out of tunnels, capturing beautiful views of the Japanese countryside. i noticed the crisp and clear voice recording on this video #nice
