hi guys, you are suggested to place your backpacks either under your seats or at overhead bin during your traveling by trains in Taiwan. Wherethere you left your backpacks is reserved for large luggages. Wish both of you enjoy your trip!
The food you had at the end 割包(Taiwanese hamburger). I believe you can actually find it in UK. BTW don't be afraid to ask the local people for help, Taiwanese people are very friendly even if they speak very little English. And be careful in Taiwan with all the foods, because you might not realize you gained 5 to 10 lbs after leaving Taiwan. 😅
Hahaha, that's so true! TAIWANESE FOOD IS JUST DELICIOUS 😋❤️ Always when we look for the breakfast/lunch/dinner spot, our mouth is already watering (◕‿◕)
It’s called “bao” in the UK, and they just stuff random Asian things in it, yakitori katsu Korea fried chicken bla bla bla you name it. And probably 2 years later some people will say it’s UK’s new national dish.
@@JayandKarolina If you have enough time, you can go to outlying islands, such as Green Island, Kinmen or Matsu, especially Kinmen, where you can see Xiamen which is very close😇
Popular spots in Taroko include the eternal spring shrine, shakadang trail(there’s a ‘farmer’s market’ run by aboriginals), 9 tunnel trail. My favourite is the water curtain cave, not many foreigners know of this place. It’s a man made tunnel made many years ago with the water vein ruptured, creating water curtains in the cave! The cave was closed due to a mysterious landslide that covered the whole place with white dust similar to snow, but it’s now open(I think).
Jay and Karolina, I really love this video. I like how you show us your process from getting off the high speed train and transfer to the MRT. I can oversee the station, feel the atmosphere. I just hope you gave a bit of your train ride from Zuoying to the hostel. Anw, if you stay a bit longer in Jakarta, you may try our recently-opened high speed railway from Jakarta to Bandung and vice versa.
If you book the high speed that only stops at Taichung then Kaohsiung, then it only takes around 1 hour and 35 minutes. It is the one I always try to get when I go to watch the national team.

HSR & TRA is not same railway corp so in Taipei HSR counter is at B1 KRTC at the beginning gate onlyfor token & ipass(card like easycard) now add many payment way on it so you will confuse
That room without a window was tiny. I am a bit claustrophobic so I gasped, but you guys are troopers! And that sandwich at tge end looked super delicious. I wish i were more brave with local food and small eateries when I visited Kaoshiung in 2011 or so. I woukd so have it now, definitely :). I haven't watched all your Taiwan videos yet but I hope Karolina bought somw sour dried plums, and other dried plums. I also like their bamboo shoots in chili sauce over rice or I ear it as a side like a salad with cottage cheese. So good!
Your comment made us feel so nostalgic about Taiwan ❤️ We always love to explore local areas because you'll often find some hidden gems :) We need to try more of the Taiwanese snacks because there were so many of them! And I'm referring to that because we're thinking of coming back to Taiwan end of this year again!!!
I just realized that Taiwan food cost is about 20-30% higher of Indonesian food. Lodging place is a lot higher tbh. Man that train station building is gorgeous. It's a sight to be amazed at tbh. What a lovely architecture! Yet that bullet train looks sexy. Man I would dig in $37 for that train ride. It's about the same as Indonesian train price tbh but faster! 😍 Couldn't get any more excited than that tbh.😂 Honestly the way you pronounce places is way off mark mate but that's okay.😂

@@JayandKarolina thanks to your vlog tbh. Man, as Chinese descent, I know what you ate there are marvelous. Gotta admit I have to endure myself in order to stop me drooling in public. Geez😂
Nothing beats taking the THSR in Taiwan. It was nice having you show how helpful the folks in Taiwan are. I always tell people that there is no reason to worry about ever feeling lost or anxious taking public transit in Taiwan, because you are never far away from VERY helpful and friendly staff. This of course is nothing like public transit in the USA - where it is more of a Mad Max type experience (at best) and very often public transit in the USA will leave you questioning all of your life choices.
Most of the foreigner got confused by the translation of the name of the destination. In Taiwan, we used Webster pinyin as the major translation methods to separate from the Chinese Pinyin. Recently, Taiwan noticed that most foreigner recognize Chinese Pinyin better, so some translation has been changed to Chinese pinyin. That is why you found Xiaogang and Siaogang for the same destination but in different spelling. Xiaogang is Chinese pinyin used in China, and Siaogang is the way Taiwan used. For Webster pinyin, it will be Hsiaogang. Very confusing, I know.
Gua-Bao is what we called "Taiwanese hamburger". And it's ABSOLUTELY correct that you make your gua-bao with half-fat. It makes your gua-bao more juicy and delicious.
When I first visited Taiwan,I took a HSR from Taoyuan and supposedly to Hsinchu. Unfortunately, I rode a nonstop train to Taichung 🤣 i did not see the train number Lol. Worst, it was the last train that day. Had to spend the rest of the night at a random hotel lobby near the Taichung station Lol.
This video is super helpful since I will be taking the HSR from Taoyuan to Kaohsiung next month. The reason for the different spelling is because Taiwan still uses Zhuyin and Google may use Pinyin from Mainland China. Maybe you can also do a video on how to rent the Youbikes 😁
Thank you so much! We're happy to hear that the video serves for a bigger purpose and is actually educational 👍 We were thinking of getting the YouBikes indeed! Especially in Taipei there's a lot of cycling paths!
I noticed some of the locals speaking 'Taiwanese' or Hokkien. I think you might impress the locals if you used Taiwanese rather than Mandarin greetings - 'to sia' or 'kam sia' for thank you and 'li ho' for 'hello'.
My British friend ever mentioned opening a shop selling Taiwan sandwish gonna make a killing; it suits Brits' taste, and considering only costs 1-2 pound for one.
What you have tasted is famous Taiwanese Burger, 割包 (means split bun) there is another version in Main Land China , bread shaped like " Water lily leaves which could be stuffed with"Beijin Duck". I saw another German Taiwanese boy opened a food stand of (割包)in German, people in German were amazed by this hamburg.
Reminder: you guys should have taken the direct train, which normally only stops at Banqiao, Taichung. The journey will only take about 1 hour and 34 minutes
Hi! We've arrived to Zuoying Station which was in the northern part of the city --> both Taiwan High Speed Rail Zuoying Station and Xin Zuoying Station are located next to each other (they're connected). We've also seen a luggage storage available over there. However, there's another station in the heart of the city called Kaohsiung Station so you need to check for yourself where does your train stops 👍 I hope it helps!
Awesome man one more time amazing video by the way namaste for india keep going by the what your daily fittness routine any type of exercise or sport Play in your daily life
Thanks bro! We don’t really have time or energy for sport or exercise. However we are walking a tonne we also carry our backpacks so I think we’re getting enough activity. It would be nice to have some sport in our lives but it will have to wait because we are grinding the videos out right now 💪
Asia has taken the lead. This summer I took the high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai. It was stable, fast and punctual. There was no shaking like in the video. It was a great journey.
@@JayandKarolina oh man, you're gonna need to spend a lot of time since China is so vast from coastal city to really modern city to snowy mountains and even vast desert and oasis, but I agree their bullet train makes your journey faster and easier, it's super stable and cheap too!
We find it easier to move with the big backpacks in most of the SEA countries but definitely in the future we want to invest in good luggage because it's killing our backs sometimes 😂
