Taiwan from China

[@cmanlam4064]

You guys are brave that you did the hike in this weather !! It's beautiful and I guess worth the pain !! :)

[@helenachang8800]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful place of Taiwan, China! Looking forward to visiting this place in the near future.

[@cheneric27]

Love you all.

[@user-pj3ch8ou2h]

May I ask when was the trip? It looked like in winter as Jiufen is at a higher elevation and the temperature could be lower. I’ll be visiting Taiwan in early June and Jiufen will be on my itinerary. I look forward to a glorious summer weather during the trip. Can’t wait!

[@user-xm6tr2su2i]

從你們來台灣的第一集影片，我就已經訂閱，按讚，分享，很開心你們喜歡台灣，也謝謝你們把台灣拍得那麼美，我有個小小建議，因為台灣人很多人看不懂英文，你們如果能用中文來寫，當你們影片的標題，我相信會有更多台灣人點進來看的喔，也祝福你們訂閱人數直線上升，在台灣一切平安，旅途愉快開心。

[@junmichkun]

I love oolong tea 🍵❤

[@shiouchujudywang4050]

[@SammyandTommy]

It really is 😍

[@WLSG422]

miss the taro balls and that peanut ice cream roll!!🥰

[@SammyandTommy]

We can see why 😍 Thanks for watching!

[@Joey818Lin]

They don’t know that Taiwan has the highest mountain range in Asia after Tibet. taiwan is a super pyramid on the sea. If they opened a Google Maps terrain map, they would be shocked

[@user-kb4mb6ej9w]

如果喜歡爬山真的要來台灣試試

[@scott-houseofproduce3812]

You guys are the cutest KZbinr

[@SammyandTommy]

🥰🥰 you're too sweet!!

[@laurahoang7337]

We went to the famous tea house there yesterday. There was lots of people. It was so hot

[@user-xm6tr2su2i]

好美好美好美喔，九份跟茶壺山都是我很喜歡的景點，我也常去，希望你們會喜歡，爬山運動身體好，但真的是很累，辛苦你們了。

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

Well Taiwan 🇹🇼 looks Epic! I hope I can visit it soon Tommy I’m with you on cilantro 🥴 and staying an extra night to take it easy and see more … see the streets at night when lights are on and taking it all in Lovely vlog 👏🏼 Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@GTR3535]

Nice video. Just wondering when was this video made? It seems like winter time in taiwan at the moment. Will be visiting Taiwan in May. Hopefully it’s not too cold or rainy. lol

[@HardQoo]

Because Taiwan has an island climate, it gradually starts to get hotter in May. And July-September will be very hot! Usually they either stay in air-conditioned rooms or go to mountains or waterside to escape the heat.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much, this was filmed in late March. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

[@user-qm2gt6lk8p]

So yummy food 😋😋👍👍

[@Mitiku34]

Best content❤

[@brandoncook7626]

Awesome video! How did y’all get to teapot mountain/the gold museum from Jiufen?

[@dakang425]

Go Cougs!!

[@m7pothead762]

2:43 The tea house is very Taiwanese in regards to the style of screen, a lot of bamboo, and red brick decoration. IDK man... it's just not how the Japanese style looks like.

[@rdtf45hujp85]

你們忘了參觀黃金瀑布

[@SammyandTommy]

We know we missed it 🤦‍♂️ Always gotta leave something to come back for.

[@haifeichen-529]

欢迎你来中国

[@andrewcamasura7273]

$ammy, why are you so beautiful? 😉⚘⚘⚘

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank you 🥹 you're too sweet!

[@MartyMaa]

How do you achieve such high-quality aerial shots with a smooth and steady camera panning technique? Do you purchase stock footage from content creators, or do you capture it with your own drone? Watching your video felt akin to viewing a National Geographic channel; it's nearly as impressive.

[@LarryNg-mx8qz]

great neighbourhood but to be honest, the foods are all the same and nothing stands out.. the tea house is a tourist trap... just grab something from the 7 at the start and go enjoy the view.

[@jo2421]

Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful time exploring Taiwan.🙂

[@davidli5115]

Yo, Mr.!!! Everything you have experience in Asia, food and culture all came China. All the tea in the world , all came from China. The English stole the " Tea seeds " from China. All that fine tea cakes you are enjoying all have roots in China. All the European museum Asian displayed all stolen from China. You can also tell these Taiwanese things, All of their ancestor came from China. Don't say it's Japanese, It's not !!!!

[@hitokiri92]

Yo, Mr Rudeness, you should STFU and stop watching KZbin because it's not even allowed in China

[@helenachang8800]

Well said!!!
