Taiwan by Brompton: Exploring Hakka country in Beipu | 騎小布探索北埔 (有中文字幕)

[@李可韋]

影片那房子是台灣過去鄉間常見俗稱「土埆厝」的老房子，有時又叫做「牛結厝」，正是因為蓋房子的時候會加入牛糞作為建材，好處是冬暖夏涼、讓房子更堅固耐久，牛糞早期可以蓋房子，又可以當燃料

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

謝謝！

[@李魚-n3v]

對，好久沒聽到這個名詞，真懷念，老家有一間房也是這種材質，拆除前幾年，牆面開始凋零，小孩的拳頭也能打碎一小角了，我還記得土角屋裏面混著石塊，北埔很好玩，我也很喜歡，我覺得最有趣的是擂茶。

[@azulahuang3154]

@@AsiaHikelopedia Have you tried Hakka Lei Cha or Hakka Tea rice in Beipu ?

[@邱士倫-u8d]

我是新竹竹東的客家人，「土埆厝」我們客家話叫[泥磚屋]。您說的沒錯，會加入牛糞作為建材，也會加入乾稻管增加堅硬度!

[@邱士倫-u8d]

@@李魚-n3v 我是新竹竹東的客家人，關於客家擂茶，十幾年前我特別去問了我奶奶，因為擂茶的製作與材料，應該要是家裡相對富裕者才會使用。我奶奶的姊妹與哥哥在日本時代都是念到大學與高中，所以我想我奶奶應該有使用過擂茶，呵呵!!但我奶奶說從來沒有看過!!後來才知道大陸開放探親，有人回到當初的大陸祖地，看到了擂茶又把它帶回台灣。所以台灣的客家人並沒有使用雷茶。可能再渡海來臺灣求生存時，根本沒辦法帶著很重的茶缽，或者根本在大陸祖弟很窮，也沒有辦法享受到擂茶。對於擂茶我問過好多老人家，都是告訴我以前從來沒有喝過!!我也是!!!呵呵!!!

15:20的果實是橄欖，會做成蜜餞，也可以烤來吃，小時候跟著小夥伴們烤來吃過，蠻好吃的。

[@WesDaviestravel]

Very interesting film style and history!

Love this exploration! Full of nature, historical sites, interesting buildings and yummy snacks!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad you enjoyed

[@paiwanhan]

The house with the building material exposed is called 塗墼厝, which is built with mud bricks, with straws mixed in. There is another kind of traditional building in Beipu called 箅仔壁, which is built with mats weaved together with strips of bamboo.

one of my favorite countries, Taiwan. Love the sceneries there and the people there.

Thank you for your video.It’s very entertaining.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thank you too

[@jamesc571]

4:58, some of the wall, could be made of mixture of mud, and rice/rice husk/leaf, not kidding. Taoyuan county used to have lots of these old buildings, this is due to steel, concrete were rare. Luckier and more wealthier will get good quality clay- clay which you make kitchenware/china with, otherwise just ordinary mud

[@kelvinchai5898]

The fruit looks like 'kedondong' in Malaysia and Indonesia. It has a very sour taste and is usually blended into kedondong drink. Local Chinese in Malaysia calls it as 沙梨。

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes. I think that's what it is (according to some locals who commented)

[@azulahuang3154]

@@AsiaHikelopedia Buah Kedondong is very common here in Malaysia. Most families plant a tree of buah kedondong at the backyard of the house or by the roadside. We pound the fruit together with dry anchovies and chlli or blend the fruits to make juice.

[@jamesc571]

15:36 number 3 highway, through Hakka settlements in Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli has alot of these washing places, and they wash everything, from laundry, to fruit/vege/food and yes the water are fresh thats why you get to see shrimp :) I used to catch them for fun :) there are eels present as well. Since 20 years ago, they starting to preserved these washing area, particularly a lot around Longtan District in Taoyuan

[@王采虹]

仙草也好吃，有仙草凍、燒仙草、仙草燉雞⋯仙草有多種吃法，讚👍！

A wonderful and relaxing exploring trip. Nice video!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jerrycynx]

Hi Richard! That's a great video on the rustic town 北埔, full of historical information. That's why I enjoyed your videos so much. Thanks. Oh I have to point out something that you mention at 1:55 of your video. You mentioned the cooperation between 漢人 and 客人. I think you are referring to 福建人 and 客人。漢人 actually refers to the major ethnic group of the Chinese that comprises of various dialects groups including 福建人 (the main dialect group of Taiwan's Chinese), 客人, 潮州人, etc.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes. You are correct. My mistake! Thanks

[@AD-mb6kx]

建議你也可以去苗栗的南庄老街，那邊有神仙谷瀑布，和觀魚步道和其它的一些景點

[@hermanchou8137]

The house is made by clay which mixed with rice husk, rice stalk, and few steamed sticky rice. It is so amazing, right?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes. Very cool and sustainable!

[@art0507]

I’m looking forward to your videos now. Likes the calm & peaceful vibes. Greeting from Singapore.

[@jyeoteowhee3784]

Hi Richard It seem you are out and about exploring parts of Taiwan and seem that you are enjoying it. Good idea to bring a folding bicycle with you. Luckily you brought your wife's bicycle that have a 6 speeds gear. You are still looking great.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thank you！

[@vincentlee0509]

Thank you for sharing so informative contents about Taiwan. I also increasingly like your channel as I can learn how to narrate our tourist sites in English.

the green mango is the oldest breed of taiwan, u can say that is original mango of taiwan. now it is used to make as frozan mango shoot due to its sour flavor before it becomes ripe.

15:24 You know the water is clean when there's a shrimp in the water. :)

[@munyuenleong8167]

Wow, liked the bit of history and also the nice cool springs! We needed that now😓. Of course we can take a dip in the "springs" here, but will probably be invited for a "coffee session" and made to pay an "entrance fee" for our venture! 🤣.

14:40 I think its loquat - a popular fruit in Taiwan

[@AmbientWalking]

Always wonderful to be able to explore a new place with you! Very grateful for this! : )

Hi Richard, nice traditional well preserved town. Can you please elaborate how to get there on public transport and how to get about town. If there is a bike rental, plus any nice local B&B. Enjoyed it very much as usual and see you again next week.

[@SanJoseCAJeff]

Beipu looks like a must see

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It is a nice place.

[@kennySg101]

Wondering how u explore Taiwan by bike as it is a much bigger island. I would have thought that u would use '小棉羊' instead. You are the real '历史哥'. I am sure the taiwanese people will benefit from this video. Enjoy !

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

If it's far I drive or take the train first. Although I'm planning some longer distance trips too!

[@kennySg101]

@@AsiaHikelopedia In the video, you were pushing the bike all the way. Guess the terrain was not conducive for cycling. Like the history videos by 金素梅 also.

沒錯

[@khoochongping454]

Good morning Richard! Looks like mango... I think..

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

That's what I thought originally, but mangos hang down from the branch on long stems. It's a 沙梨橄攬 according to a Taiwan viewer.

new bike! edit: oh I just watched the part that you said you bought it for the missus.

[@charliedeng5238]

深秋天氣涼了，冷泉一般人泡不了。

[@jamesc571]

Lol....I remember number 3 highway, the highway link Kaohsiung/Pingtung via the mountain area through to Taipei that go right through Beipu, it's a lot easier now with freeway there, number 3 highway back in mid/early 80s was horribly windy, dad used to drive along this highway from Taoyaun to Hsinchu via Beipu and I used to get car sick and throw up along the way, somehow that difficult path and not so easily accessible has helped preserved the buildings in area from over development.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Nice memories!!!

[@clemluler]

where is the Bristh Green folding bike?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

At home. It's not built for hilly terrain!

@@philipchai9107 I didn't go for a meal as I was alone. Although last week my family and some friends went to Beipu for lunch and it was really good. We also made our own Hakka lei cha (擂茶, pictures on my instagram) which tasted great. So I may go back again and film it as it was so nice!

[@fairdayalways1399]

@@AsiaHikelopedia 我非常愛擂茶。不僅過程非常有趣有意義(*), 事實上也是養生好物。 *客家人上山或是工作時候衍生出來的食品。因為古代農忙，帶一堆肉菜飯等等上山不是每次都方便，所以擂茶這樣的點心類，比較方便且補充體力。
