24 Hours In Kaohsiung 🇹🇼 This Is Why We Love Taiwan! 

Taiwan is a country that is progressive and full of cultural characteristics🌏

The reason why some of our roads and sidewalks are glittery is because there’s recycled glass powder in them.

豆花pronounces “Do Hua” or “To hua” also made from soy bean but more fluffy and light. 豆花is a popular traditional dessert in Taiwan, normally served in a bowel with lots of different toppings you can choose, for example, boiled peanuts, red/green beans, taro, boba etc.

The yellow rubber duck exhibition ends few months ago, the exhibition is limited time, only went for a month. And Chase is right about the artwork, it's very industrial, that's because Kaohsiung used to be a heavy industrial city, and now transforming itself to a more artistic and touristy city, but keeping the artwork industrial, reminding what Kaohsiung used to be like, and had came a long way. The whole Pier 2 used to be old industrial warehouse.

The buns you mentioned are actually pan-fried stuffed buns (水煎包Shui Jian Bao). They’re steamed first and then pan-fried, which makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They’re one of the most famous street foods here. We apologize for the language barrier at that stall, which unfortunately meant you couldn’t try these delicious buns. That stall is very popular in the neighborhood, so most people place reservations or call ahead to order hours in advance. Because of this, if you want to order in person at the stall, you might have to wait nearly an hour. They weren’t trying to avoid selling to you; they just couldn’t explain the situation clearly due to the language barrier. We hope you understand. As a resident of Kaohsiung, I hope you enjoyed your time in Kaohsiung. It’s a pity you missed out on the buns, but if you visit Kaohsiung again in the future, let us know, and we can order them in advance for you. By the way, we use Mandarin Chinese (Traditional) in Taiwan, instead of Simplified Chinese as used in China. Thank you and looking forward to more videos.

Taiwan looks amazing country ❤ love your video's 😊

Actually in Taiwan we use "Chinese (Traditional)", while people in China use "Chinese (simplified)". Besides, "Taiwanese" is a language like "dialect", usually older and southern people in Taiwan would use it more.

The duck was a temporary exhibition. In fact, we had two ducks this time. Previous exhibition was over a decade ago. I wouldn’t recommend pier 2 on weekdays. Vendors and people crowd the place only on the weekends. Btw, regarding the driver. Yeah they can turn but pedestrians first. They will be fined when caught. Good job entering the most known beef noodle place in Kaohsiung.

You are welcome to come to Kaohsiung and enjoy it!!

你們可能錯過了那個說要等待1小時的好吃的東西，那個叫水煎包，個人覺得很好吃。

I hope u 2 enjoy your time in Taiwan 🇹🇼 especially the food.

In Taiwan, we use "Traditional" Chinese which is the original writing system of thousands of years based on 6 elements, which in China, after CCP took over and started the 10-year cultural revolution, they "simplified" the writing system based on 2 elements. The Taiwanese we speak is also traced back about thousands of years while the mandarin Chinese started in Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), mostly when Manchu people learned to speak the language with Manchu accent.

It's the "traditional" for the Taiwanese people. The simplified is for Chinese and Singaporean, not for Taiwanese! Taiwanese people don't cut corners 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏

That beef noodle resturant is a must-go for me every time I go to Kaoshiung. You are lucky to taste it.

Bubble teas are meant to be shaken. Their other name is roughly translated to “hand-shaken drink”. Bubbles actually refer to the foam from mixing but in North America many people think it’s the pearls. Also FYI, it’s Chinese (traditional) in Taiwan. :) China uses simplified.

You are so funny couple ！👍😄

The store that invented bubble tea in Taiwan is Chun Shui Tang. There are branches all over Taiwan. You can try it out.

That’s a very famous beef noodle restaurant. Kaohsiung delicacy. Drip a little garlic water in the noodles will transform the flavor into next level!

Thank you for filming these Good video! Welcome to Taiwan! Wish you happy😊❤. Like you two’s chatting, so cute!

25:30 the bridge can turn 90° to allow boats to pass through the river.

1st one to see this dear friends Chase and Shelbs while I'm at the gym right now......so excited to watch it now and I never skip commercial by the way hehehe just to let you know ❤❤❤ Miss you guys....with love from Doms Olatan in the Philippines😊

I can't read chinese characters but I'm pretty sure it's traditional chinese used in Hongkong & Taiwan while China uses Simplified 😂

You should go to Pier 2 at night, it’s very beautiful

2:11 History: The reason it is called "bubble tea". Bubble really means "bubbles" from shaking using that cocktail shaker. Bubble does not mean "tapioca" as many people thought.

Loving your Taiwan videos!! Will be there in December and I'm saving everything in your Kaoshiung videos😅. Also, I know it's hot and humid in your video but Shelb's makeup is perfect. Drop the makeup info 🙏🏻

I think maybe some customers already ordered the whole big pan of steamed buns, which is why the staff asked you to wait for another hour…😬 Some shops let customers order a lot because if they can sell all their ingredients that day, they can close earlier. 😬 Don’t forget to put on some sunblock since it’s super hot in Kaohsiung! Also, there may not be as many English speakers compared to Taipei, so Google Translate might be useful. I can’t wait to see you discover more local foods! 😊👍

You guys actually stumbled upon a very popular beef noodle place in Kaohsiung! They are famous for their dry-style noodle.

Enjoyed your videos. You made me miss Taiwan.

In Taiwan, Kaohsiung City is the second largest city and a beautiful city. 🇹🇼❤️

高雄很少人會在大太陽下徒步走路的，要撐陽傘，不然會曬傷哦

Taiwan is so beautiful! it's what China COULD have been.

im from Kao! great to see you guys here!

Art is everywhere in Kaohsiung, even the small bus stop.

Its super hot in south Taiwan now, so brave to walk around during daytime.

豆花和豆腐的製作方法不一樣，雖然都是用黃豆製成～豆花對我們來說是甜點，也是我最愛的點心之一❤️❤️❤️ 交通一直是台灣需要改進的問題，謝謝你們指出，這能讓我們持續地進步😊😊😊

The cute duck exhibition period is over. There will be an Iron Man water show on 8/17_8/18. I don’t know the actual time you will arrive, but Taiwan’s summer is very hot. You can plan to go for a walk in the mountains and forests. Taiwan’s mountains are great and you can escape the heat.

2:19 You can see a doll-shaped boot on the bar, which is a trash can for recycling straw covers. Or you can make a knot out of it and tie it to your straw. Taiwanese do this to avoid litter flying everywhere. And if there are many drinks, we will use different knots to distinguish which drink belongs to whose.

40:58 This is a famous beef noodle shop in Kaohsiung

Like Taipei, there's so much to do in Kaohsiung. Cijin Island, Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Museum, Lotus Pond. Pier 2 comes alive on the weekends with music festivals on both sides of the pier. Many of the shops open then.

高雄的大型裝置藝術，多半使用和船相關的零件廢物利用，因為高雄是海港也是造船港。

If you go there after sunset. You would have more fun and the night scene is way more interesting

when im.in taiwan.never miss bu ble tea shop

Generally it’s fine to order one portion and share. Some restaurants do enforce that each customer must order a minimum (price). If they don’t tell you that then it’s fine. Judging by watermelon juice, perhaps this was a while back? They’ve telling me it’s off season 😂

希望能帶給你們美好的回憶，最近因臺灣還有地震，比較不建議去，不然東部也很漂亮開車在沿海地帶

I once rented a car in Saskatchewan and drove to Quebec. It was beautiful but really too flat……. I enjoyed your video a lot, thank you both for the effort and sharing!

Love Taiwan!

auntie's English is on point! so nice...

U 2 have to eat Taiwanese mango shaved ice, it's delicious.

現在台灣政府規定不能用塑膠飲料杯，除非法條頒佈前訂購的杯子不算，不然會被罰錢，所以大家都改用紙杯。 然後「港園」牛肉麵是高雄超有名的百年老店，是真的很好吃，在地人也推薦❤

Welcome to Kaohsiung city.🥰

Yay finally wait til you come to Kaohsiung! 😊

Taiwanese here. 🙋🏻‍♀️ It seems the bubble tea you got is not brown sugar bubble tea. The shop owner didn’t understand English, so maybe that’s why …. I’ve never seen any tea shop put that tofu thing into brown sugar bubble tea . Maybe it’s almond jelly? or coconut jelly?

It’s windy because you are in a port city. You were walking to pier 2, which by the water. Of course it’s windy! 😂

That big duck has been so much mesiry. It flats sometime and swam in windy or terrible bright sun 😢😅😂

Should’ve gone to the pier on a weekend night where there are vendors and art performances

I'll be testing in January, thanks!😀

in kaoshiung you need to visit in the night , because to hot ,in the night show more beautiful. about 18:00~22:00. Welcome to kaoshiung!!

3:13 Douhua Chinese: 豆花is a Chinese sweet or savoury snack made with silken tofu. It is also referred to as doufuhua

I don't eat beef but that bowl of noodles towards the end, holy moly! Wish I was there! 😂

Welcome to Kaohsiung!😘

Yes, that bridge will rotate for big ship to pass.

Will you go to Tai Chung? Because Tai Chung is where boba tea was invented!! 😊

Chase has an Alexander Skarsgard kindda vibe, really good looking！😊

I have been to Prince George.

高雄以前是越戰美軍提靠基地進行維修地點。

The giant ducklings are from some European artist from what I understand and they tour the world - not permanent anywhere

Welcome to Kaohsiung! Nice video ❤

Bubble tea was invented in Taiwan. 🇹🇼 Enjoy your time….It’s an amazing country. Be sure to visit Hualien on your trip.

The tofu that’s used in the specific Boba Milk Tea that you ordered is “Silken Tofu”, which is very soft tofu.

Btw, the steam bum! Because other customers around order a lot, some buy 7, some buy 5, some buy 10. So they can’t sell the already one. Have to wait for 10 mins. I think they can try harder to let you guys understand them.

😀😃😄👏👏👏

I like the milktea but i think its not a brown sugar 😅 anyways shelbs is beautiful as always lovelots for you two

Welcome to Kaohsiung city. ❤👍👍👍

Better visit Taiwan during October to April More comfortable

It is pudding (not dofu) in your boba drink.

嗨，很歡迎來台灣旅遊，很高興認識

Hello lovely couple ❤ Sorry about the steam bun! I think it’s must be the language problem! And I ask love that beef noodle as well! There is place call Chong Shan university by the seaside! A university located in a small mountain and surrounded by sea! That area is good! I Suggest Rent a ubike to go! Welcome to my city! ❤❤❤

台灣很熱喔！🎉南部更熱！

Chase is such a dork 😂

Long time no vlog

Wikipedia: Kaohsiung City has a population of approximately 2.73 million people as of October 2023 and is Taiwan's THIRD most populous city and largest city in southern Taiwan.

❤

The organs are phenomenal

hello greetings from indonesia jakarta ❤

I live in Vancouver lol and compared to other places, I like the weather , its mostly better than other provinces. The city is beautiful too surrounded by mountains instead of concrete jungle Toronto or snow filled Alberta. All these countries near the equator are interesting but the weather is crap.

it feel so hot in the daytime😆

那是杏仁豆腐

How do you feel about being in Taiwan

18:54

I'm Taiwanese. I guess you didn't get the buns because some of the customers might make phone calls to make orders before they go there. So you need to wait for an hour to get a bun.

那小電車叫輕軌

In Taiwan, it’s illegal to drive across while the green man is on and people walking on the street. Driver could have a hefty fine for doing that.

You can rent a city bike, then that will be more easy and comfortable for the trip

We do not use Simplified Chinese in Taiwan.

It’s traditional, simplified is china

There are few trash bins on the streets of Taiwan, People will tie the plastic outside the straw to the straw. This behavior will be very local! Hahaha

Can u 2 learn different languages easily or hard?

妳們可以去北投烏來還有礁溪泡溫泉。妳們國家沒有這種天然溫泉泡了對皮膚還有身體很有幫助

In Taiwan, if you write in Simplified Chinese during an exam, your teacher will deduct points from your score and the answer will be considered wrong.

you need to shake the bubble tea before you drink it.
