Reasons to Visit Taipei, Taiwan's Capital City 🇹🇼 臺北

I spend a few days exploring Taipei (臺北), starting at Chiang Kai-shek's memorial hall, before passing by 228 Peace Park and Taipei 101. I then climb to the peak of Elephant Mountain for the best views of the city. The following morning I devour a traditional Taiwanese breakfast at Fuhang Soy Milk.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZbinr who's been to 61 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.
I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.
After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.
I've travelled to North America just once as a KZbinr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.
I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to the south of India and Singapore.

I used to live in Taiwan (mainly Taipei but traveled around the whole island) for a year not too long ago. Thank you for the video, brings back some of the best memories of my life, the Taiwanese are some of the friendliest people in the world and I truly believe this country has a lot to offer, such as the delicious cuisine! Thank you for showcasing its culture, you did a great job at it. I hope I get to stay in Taiwan a bit longer the next time!! :)

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Good to know!

[@patriciafuchs5970]

What a lovely video. I appreciate all the history you talk about.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thanks Patricia!

[@AlejandroDuran263]

Hi Jason, I looked at Taipei in Taiwan 🇹🇼 on Google Maps while I’m listening to night ore music when I was 11 years old.

[@lexbraxman9270]

I've learned a lot watching your video. It's great you shared and did research on the countries history when you put your video together, thanks for sharing!

[@chockalingamalagappan1693]

Taiwan is well developed inspite of being a tiny nation.Taipaein101 is well illuminated at night

[@JasonBillamTravel]

For sure, amazing views from Elephant Mountain at night.

Taiwan also has many beautiful scenery, and its delicious food amazes friends from all over the world, such as the Taroko Gorge in Hualien in the east and the thousand-year-old cypress in Alishan in the south.

Hi! I'm from taiwan

[@AgathaLOutahere]

Just be cautious with the bicyclists on the sidewalk pavements in Taipei. And remember that in Taiwan pedestrians are an afterthought in the minds of drivers.

Why?

[@angel91485]

Jason being so handsome in this video..surely Taipei looks amazing, but if you're coming from the other side of the world, like us in the States, not sure, if I'd equate it to Japan, or China, Thailand or even the Philippines as a solo destination... Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, these tiny territories, need to be paired with The other countries I've mentioned previously, like Japan to make the trip worth it.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Well I think you’ll approve of what’s coming next!

[@angel91485]

[@haroldomiyaura912]

pardon me, Jason. isn't Taiwan unsafe because of mainland China's incursions?

[@nikevin3538]

China is just a barking dog, no bombard for 60years in Taiwan, but shooting and terrorist attack happened in most western countries, and that's why foreigners living in Taiwan think Taiwan is safer.

[@judyl.7811]

no hahaha, that's propaganda that US and china play. People who know know, Taiwan is one of the safest place on earth, you never need to worry about invasion and needless to say piclpocketing.

[@bucks8964]

Actually the only thing they can do is barking lol

[@newclhe]

It depends on how you define unsafe. China continues threatening Taiwan and the world for a long long time. I believe they will do it one day no matter how much it cost. But not today. Before it really happens one day, make Taiwan be seen by the world is the most important thing we can do.

[@haroldomiyaura912]

@@newclhe thanks for the information, but I fear mainland China will make some maritime siege around Taiwan some day. 🤔

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Good info! But why making it more like a tourist-selfie? Why filming yourselves so much? Nothing personal, but maybe better showing more from the city instead? Just an idea, keep up the good work!

[@pjkslc]

Nice video. Nothing against your friend, but I personally prefer when you vlog alone because the presence of other cohosts is a bit distracting … takes the focus off your topic into inviting speculation about why the other person is there. The woman in Mexico, Gabe, now this woman. Their presence does not enhance learning about other countries, especially if you add another person looking at the camera. Watch it back yourself and see if you agree. It’s different if the added are locals from the area in which you are traveling. Stay focused and keep your eye on the travel aspect, instead of cohosts, unless you are introducing us to someone permanently like your wife. That’s just my opinion. Maybe I’m wrong.

[@greatsky8226]

Taipei is the capital city of the Republic of China or Taiwan Province, not of Taiwan as a country, because there is no country officially named Taiwan on this earth. Taiwan has only 2 meanings, Taiwan (Island), Taiwan (province of the Republic of China or the People' Republic of China), according to the constitutions of The Republic of China and The People's Republic of China。

[@spinnofferr]

This Americans really wants to divide the country. They support the parties that advocate the division of the country, because it is beneficial for them.

[@bucks8964]

ROC is just colonizer .zZ India is still India when they colonized by the kindom.

[@katrinoy1]

In China, Taiwan Island is like Cuba Island in the United States

[@spinnofferr]

Cuba never had been the part of USA. There are absolutely different situations. Name of the country in this video Republic of China, not Taiwan, and it's not unite with mainland China bcs of civil war.

[@bucks8964]

[@christofat2704]

wow , living in Taïwan for a while , no nothing some basic mandarin ?! So rude and disrepectful

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Daria knows some Chinese, she’s been studying and learning how to read and write. As for me - it’s fair to say it’s pretty rusty since living in Shanghai for a year in 2016.

[@thierrytecumseh734]

I visited Taiwan and found it seriously underwhelming and lacking a distinct identity. It was a bland country honestly not worth visiting. Even the food was inferior to mainland Chinese food.

[@sezden8479]

Looking good guys, great video! About Daria, i thought is your girlfriend or even wife, as you are looking good together and it was showing that way!
