So this is the lobby of the Taiwan Grand Hotel

It literally feels like a Chinese palace.

The outside looks like you are entering some kind of kingdom…

I literally love this hotel It’s been...actually its my first day here but its really awesome

Dan is my Taiwanese guy so he knows where to go, what to do

It is like $2,000 NTD to get there and back in here

It’s like an hour car ride there and then an hour back

$2,000 NTD is like 6,000-7,000 yen or around $60-70 US

So right now we are in Jiufen, we have landed

Kind of crazy. I think you don't really recognize or

For me at least I didn't think taiwan was so green, but it there's so much nature

That temple were like in the middle of the forest as you guys saw or a temple Shrine temple

It was absolutely gorgeous. It was like sticking out of the forest

Looked kind of crazy but we have another beautiful scene so we will see you guys there

I don’t think you realize  how much of a mountain Taiwan is

Like one giant Mountain no wonder Daniel is so fit

Just stairs with restaurants and souvenir shops lining

So many people and it's so humid. I'm dripping sweat

but I’m not the only one, Dan is dripping sweat too

This is so cool though. It just keeps going up

Yu yuan...Its basically like ice, a slushy looking ice with fruit slices, mochi balls or taro balls

I haven't tried it yet, but I think I look like a much of all kind of thing plus red bean paste or "anko"

There is a lot of  influence from Japanese culture here so…

Really good. And its so good right now because its so hot. This ice is really refreshing

Whoa? Oh I know what this is. My grandma used to make this

Right right, so what you do is you boil that block and then you put ice in it...

We're still walking in the alleyway, Taiwanese people are so nice...I like Taiwanese people

Look how big this is, as big as my face. Only about 260 yen of around $2.60US

We have made it to Shifen, Shifen Old Street

Shifen Old Street and we are on another suspension bridge

And I really don't like suspension bridges as you can see it's shaking already. Well my hair looks crazy

It's been like raining on and off constantly here

And then this place is actually famous for like kind of lantern thing you like put a lantern a fire under a small lantern

You let it go up in the sky and you can make a wish or something right?

Yeah, you can write something on it. Yeah kind of cool. We're gonna try that

Everything is like so much eating here. I love it food here is great so many choices

All right, we went across a fried ice cream place

That's so good imagine like tempura and  like ice cream

The Shifen area was pretty awesome and a nice get away from the busy Taipei city vibe

After we got dropped off from the taxi back towards our hotel

We took the subway to our next location which was very convenient and easy to use

There were English translations for most of the prompts on the screen making ticket purchases very efficient

You get a poker chip looking like coin, that you'll tap on a ticket gate and later use for the exit gate as well.

I was very eager to arrive at our next stop as it was supposed to be absolutely enormous

Whatup guys so right now we are outside of chiang Kai-shek

National Memorial Hall, which is it covers around over 240,000 square meters, so it is absolutely huge

And it's designated to the former president of the republic of China. His name is chiang Kai-shek

Hence chiang Kai-shek memorial hall and here's like a very prominent a military leader

Taiwan History, or the Republic of China and

He died at 1975 so that's actually kind of recent. But um yeah, there's a lot of good history. You can see here

Walking around it's actually like a big event right now with a bunch of soldiers...

Get in here buddy. Get in here. They're high school students doing what um

Marching performance doing stuff and yeah, then after this we're going to go to

Which is a temple for that that's devoted to the god of business here in Taiwan, and that covers over 70,000 square meters

So these places are really really really big

We have made it to elephant Mountain aka Xiangshen
