Very few people realize how beautiful of an island Taiwan is...

[@sw2de3fr4gt]

The Portuguese named the island 'Formosa' which means Beautiful

[@tallaganda83]

This peak is higher than highest peak in NZ, great place absolutely jam packed with great nature and buzzing cities. It is the worlds most underrated destination.

[@rorymatthews]

I never would have guessed this is what the natural environment in Taiwan looked like. Beautiful!

[@hikesaroundkyoto]

Incredible scenery! Hiking in Taiwan is my dream.

[@leejeff8865]

I'm Taiwanese. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Taiwan

[@dosadoodle]

Well, the sponsorship is working. Now we want to go to Taiwan more than before! Wonderful to see this part of the country.

[@cazpk6840]

it is now on my bucket list

[@FloriTravels]

I didn't know Taiwan had such amazing scenery, a pleasure to watch.

[@Simonjj8626]

Over 70% land in Taiwan are mountain and hill. And also Taiwan have over 250 mountains are height than 3000 meters. If you like hiking, is really welcome everyone to visit here! And again thanks you to film such beautiful video of my homeland

[@foodbabytw]

So many hikes to see in Taiwan! Even without going over 3000m, lots of beautiful treks everywhere

[@lelandpeck4585]

I had no idea that the mountains in Taiwan were so numerous and high. Beautiful filming, Craig. Really enjoyed it!

[@paullin375]

Taiwan is a very beautiful country with very friendly people and a safe environment. Visitors are very welcome.

Your comment is 💯

[@chartingwithliv]

All of your videos usually get me sentimental but this one hit close to home, I cried. I had a friend growing up who wanted to do this when we were younger. Please dont stop recording these its so amazing to live through you.

[@gelade]

the view at the top wow! and those lodging looks so clean and well maintained. nice

[@sc9742]

As someone who was born in Taiwan, your video brought back great memories. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Such a beautiful scenery and wonderful place for adventures! The hike looks fantastic and I loved it 👍😍

Wow, what an incredible adventure! Your video captured the breathtaking beauty of Taiwan's highest peak perfectly. The stunning views, challenging hike, and your storytelling kept me engaged from start to finish. I appreciate the useful tips you provided along the way, making it easier for fellow hikers to plan their own journey. Thank you for sharing this remarkable experience with us. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more of your exciting adventures!

[@naturalflow157]

My friend, thank you so much for getting out there and sharing this with us. Truly, this is exactly something I needed, as I feel like in the past few years I lost all the energy and spirit for adventures. Truly an amazing video and thank you again. Wishing you all the best. :)

[@familywithmelody]

Wow, what an incredible adventure! I loved watching your journey to the highest peak in Taiwan. The stunning views and challenging terrain make me want to add this hike to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@the_mountains_our_calling4809]

Well done! Such beautiful footage! Almost reminds me of some of the mountains here in Washington

[@auroraburora8249]

Great video! It's so pretty there :) Glad we're FINALLY getting to see it!! AND THE CATS OMG

Great video Kraig, beautiful place, fantastic hike 👍

[@erichong3430]

Your intros are always mesmerizing.

[@Min-rd1tv]

welcome to Taiwan! There still have many beautiful mountains here, like Mount Nanhu and Xue Mountain.

[@ruggedland]

Beautiful mountains. Hope to visit Taiwan one day and do some hiking and enjoy some wonderful food there. Followed you on AllTrails for a while and great to see you doing some local trails here in Colorado

[@shi-hwatsuei4861]

I followed you on AllTrail because I saw your hiking video, it surprises me that you went to my home country. Many people in United States doesn't know Taiwan and they always confused it with Thailand. Some people do the trail in one day because it's really difficult to get the permit for staying in the cabin.

[@HikingThru]

Really enjoyed the drone intro and the music selection. These are always the most notable parts of your videos for myself. Great to see the help from your new friends Curtis and Larry as well! These two have done a great job representing and showing everyone how great the hiking community can be in Taiwan. Happy Hiking!

[@MentalWealthJP]

Thanks for the content you post regularly, it has helped a lot with my depression!

[@ofthenearfuture]

A really beautiful hike and country, been enjoying this series! The hiking gear culture in Asia seemingly always surprises me... interesting to see how stark the contrast is with Kraig's 'minimalism'

[@huang7776]

Amazing video. Hope you visit Taiwan again soon!

[@Tbpker22]

Before this video I had no idea that Taiwan has such magnificent scenery - I formerly thought Taiwan was absolutely flat with nothing but semiconductor factories populating it! Thanks, Kraig, for this video and my education!!

[@chetaipeitech978]

In fact, Taiwan's mountainous area is larger than flat area.

[@clover9370]

Mt. Jade (Yushan) is taller than Mt. Fuji, the highest in Japan, and a lot greener.

[@51嵐]

台灣有很很多高山 也有很多大海 也可以溯溪 跟潛水 很多的大自然等你來體驗

[@melaniethomas1000]

The drone intro is already gorgeous, but 00:54 is incredible

[@neothaka]

玉山 is amazing. The summit has a real top of the world feeling.

[@backpackerradio]

Another amazing video, Kraig! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Vibraniuum]

Was eagerly waiting for your Hiking videos . They are just wonderful ✌️👍

[@Logan0210]

thank you for making such an amazing video showing how beautiful Taiwan is!

[@GOJT]

so happy see you visit the mountain of Taiwan great work Kraig

[@TheBjameso]

You got the sunrise from North Summit - best choice! I did Jade mountain last November, but couldn't get a spot in the Paiyun lodge, so did it all in one day, without north peak. Jade mountain may of been at the top of your list, but it's really just the tip (of the iceberg)!

[@rz19740113]

The mountain you shot is so stunning...wish to see them in person some day.

[@yu-kengshih7298]

Thanks for visiting Taiwan! I'm a Taiwanese immigrant to USA and I hiked Yushan in 2009. I missed it so much.

[@dinsky21]

[@koko_outdoorlife]

there is still more mountains to discover in Taiwan!!

[@ericyung520]

Taiwan is a paradise for outdoor lovers

[@chia-yao371]

drinking with friends in leisure time, we often speak out loud "呼搭拉" in every round of drinking, which is the quickest way, in my opinion, to make friends in Taiwan. enjoy ur trip. 😁

[@IwanderExploreCapture23]

all I can say is excellent!!!

[@friendlylocal3731]

My theory is that most of us are here because we wish our job was to film ourselves going on trips and hiking up mountains. Not to take away from the beautiful work Kraig is doing with these videos - I think they're great.

[@TheCulturalBomb]

Not quite wish it was our job as nice as it is. But to experience emotions and feelings from the surroundings we surround ourselves with.

Rad video! You're talented at cinematography and telling a story. Obviously, you already know this, haha. I especially appreciated the logistical stuff at the end. For me, that makes an adventure more accessible. It takes the video past simple consumption for entertainment and makes it educational as well.
