I’m so happy to be back in Taiwan, one of my favorite nations in the world! I was invited here by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau to cover parts of the island that I never knew existed, which led me down to the countryside to visit a few indigenous tribes. Did you know that the indigenous Taiwanese were the original settlers of the Philippines and many other Pacific Islands? I was fascinated to learn about this!
Along the 4 day journey around Taiwan with Deanna, I found it fascinating to see the difference between rural life and city life, which became the concept of this story. We went to Taiwan’s second-biggest city called Kaohsiung to uncover the differences between Taiwan’s rural areas and its bustling cities. I was mesmerized by the amazing temples and delicious food! Finally, we made our way to Taipei where I take you on a journey to understand the wacky (yet fun) culture and experience a night market – one of the singular best things about Taiwan.

P.S. – There are a few minor corrections to the video that I want to make – thank you to those who helped fact-check!
1) At 1:40: Taiwan was under Japanese colonial rule from 1895 and left in 1945 at the end of World War II.
2) At 1:35: I misspoke – The Spanish and Dutch colonies were actually in the 17th century.
Thank you for watching and I’ll see you next week!

Any other Taiwan fans out there? I'd love to hear from you in the comments here!! And if you have any questions about visiting the island, please ask away and I'll get back to you!
I love your channel Bing watching whole week Subcribed❤just discovered your channel 2 days ago a filming itself explanation Superb 💖
What is the sticky rice sausage called and can I find it anywhere on the west coast of USA?
Thank you @Markweins. This is my first time watching Drew and it is Very informative and enjoyable
Drew reminds me of a young Anthony Bourdain
Ya that is not the history of Taiwan at all. After ww2 it was handed back to the republic of china and then after the Chinese civil war the government fled to the island and they still go by the republic of china.
The first video with your wife.
My favorite place in the world. I studied in Kaohsiung for 2 months last summer, and traveled the entire island. I just received a job offer in Taichung beginning in August. Knowing I’m about to live jn Taiwan feels like a dream. It’s the most beautiful place full of the most amazing people.
so much fun thank you
Thank you for making a video about us! I have been a fan since you had 200k ❤️
I always imagined I would not enjoy Taiwan. However, after your video, I am interested and curious. Thank you, Drew, for another great peak at the world.
Taiwan is Soo beautiful I live here for 6 years and I'm so much injoy to explore here . 😍
where did that beautiful spiritual indian music come from?
Disappointed to see the rainbow, I do not think that is cool.
Yes drew looking forward to visit taiwan soon as my son is going to take his Master's degree in NTU.
Be long to China ❤️🇨🇳
"Can you guess where I am?" Uh… Taiwan? It is in the title of the video. 🙄
Thanks
Did drew lose his suitcase? He kept saying it was chilly and everyone else was dressed warmly, yet Drew was dressed in just a T-shirt and shorts.
@22:06 On the topic of Taiwan's bullet trains: "It is literally like what you see in Japan." Um… That is because they are literally from Japan. The bullet trains were built by Japanese companies like Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Hitachi, and Toshiba.
I just moved to Taiwan
Cellphone microchip….shows SIM card…. Lol
These are the Real Chinese People 👍
Japan won the war against Qing in 1895 and got Taiwan, not during WW2
“I wanna go to Taiwan.”, said Drew. Hey presto. 💁🏻♂️
The aborigines on the island are spread all over the island, not just the east and south, and not just the 16 ethnic groups.
The Dutch and Spaniards did not come for gold, but to have a stronghold to trade with China and Japan.
Their temples are ELABORATE! That's why I love Taiwan.
I been there a month ago, and i also thought the rukai people looks like me from Philippines..😁
Another great piece of history in video, Bravo Drew as usual
Now I understand why China want to invade this amazing country. Taiwanese I support you 100% to defend for your sovereignty against communist China. Stay strong and resilient. Everyone around the world recognize you as a true democracy and the real Republic of China!
Your video explains the history of Taiwan, and introduce the indigenous taiwanese culture, good job 🙂
Taiwan – what China could've been! Love from Germany 🙂🇩🇪🇹🇼♥️
I would love to visit the Chinese province of Taiwan 🇨🇳
please go to indonesia ❤
Do you see the difference
Kaohsiung surprised me very much when I was there in 2016. Didn't know about the city before, but a friend of mine was studying chinese there, so I went to visit. I spent almost a week there and never ran out of things to do. Highly recommend!
