I'm a Taiwanese American that grew up in Southern California and have moved back to Taiwan to Taipei in 2012. Join me and my wife as we explore Taiwan's night markets, popular and hidden destinations.
We'll explore Taiwan's Night Markets, street foods and travel scene. Along with the popular places in Taiwan, over time we'll go in depth to many places other youtubers never visit since we know most of the local and hidden spots and are able to explore smaller towns and far away villages that need a car to reach. Taiwan is a magical island with tens of thousands of temples, shrines, amazing food, endless 7-11s and boba shops and vending machines.
I'll give you my perspective having lived in both countries for many years.

Wow, guess I just witnessed an episode of the Taiwan lifestyles of the rich and not so famous. U R probably too young to know that 80’s show with Robin Leach. Thanks again 4 the marvellous tour and guess u will be hiding in Taiwan for a bit longer given our Covid daily count had gone crazy here in North America. Have a great 2022 + stay safe and healthy too.

Lol we don't eat that well everyday, we wish!🤣🤣Didn't know the show before, but it sure looks entertaining... Thanks again for the generous comment, it means a lot! I've been living here the past 8 years or so, as my wife is Taiwanese... really hope the situation back home gets better though, as most family and friends are there. Hope you have a great 2022, and stay safe and healthy too! 😀

I missed this part of Taipei on my last visit, I guess there's no other choice but to go back for another vist...

[@emonypemony]

Wow, so beautiful! for some reason, watching the segment at the yao yue teahouse as you all were preparing tea made me tear up

[@BobaLifeTaiwan]

Hope you can bring them, it's the best Teahouse in Maokong

[@dianemai6381]

May be provide opening/ closing business hour of the market.

[@BobaLifeTaiwan]

Hi do you mean the small market below the Gondolas? I'm not sure if this is always there, its likely only a weekend morning to noon thing.
