solo traveling to Taiwan: Jiufen, day trip to Taichung, cafes, bookstores, cheap local eats!

[@thereseheng6674]

just that cute taxi uncle making sure he didn't over charge you and being so sweet with directions is peak Taiwan in all its gentleness and warmness :')

[@kazuwilliams5222]

I too solo traveled in Taiwan. I flew into TPE and took the train, using the EasyCard, to Taichung where I spent the night. After waking up and spending a few hours in Taichung, I jumped a couple buses and another train to Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung is awesome! I ate some wonderful food and met so many adorable people that helped me to practice the Chinese language. Lotus pond was blissful and randomly found myself with a family in their heritage temple: praying, burning incense, giving offerings, etc. Also, helped an old grandmother brake down a table. Afterwards, she invited me into her house so she could cook me dinner. Going to Taiwan was one of the best moments of my life.

“If you ever want to talk shit to your boyfriend, start bouldering” took me out 😂 I love your interaction with the taxi driver, so sweet! Thank you for documenting your solo trip to Taiwan, really inspires me to explore places on my own ☺️

OMG welcome to Taiwan!! I'm a Taiwanese who has been living in the States for over 15 years, and seeing this just makes me really miss home. Hope you have a great time there!"

[@raydivine]

Weylie, I'm 33 and have been watching you since the tampon video, I always admired your slim build but buff weylie!!! omg so proud of you! I am way too dependent on my bf to travel alone but this is almost convincing me to. Happy Birthday!!

[@thereversepolarbear]

I have always wanted to go to Taiwan ever since I met this incredibly friendly Taiwanese woman in youth hostel in Japan. I have heard many good things :)

[@allisonbchen]

omggg!!! I’ve been waiting for this vlog. Both my parents are Taiwanese, but I grew up in the States visiting family every year and I just love seeing when my favorite creators visit. Taiwan is such a beautiful country 🇹🇼

[@sophiachang]

Loved this for you!!! Can’t wait for part 2!!

[@ninawatchescomedy8875]

I am headed to Taiwan in October - my son lives there - and I cannot WAIT. Your video was beautiful and I can't wait to watch the next one!!

[@susmitagurung2712]

Happy Birthday Weylie, made me tear up a little bit. Been watching you for 4 years now and watching you be so down to earth and grow as a person has been the best!

[@roxb808]

You know what would be fun to watch? A sisters trip to another country or a sisters camping trip! 😊👍🏽👭💕

[@CookieFridays]

I adore travel vlogs! This video reminds me of the beauty of Taiwan, the nostalgia of watching Taiwanese dramas in the past. What always made an impression on me was the beautiful lush greenery, the mountains among the city. Taiwan is somewhere I would love to visit one day. Beautiful vlog, thanks for always giving us a peaceful moment to enjoy through your content!

[@everlastying]

Weylie, I'm so happy you solo traveled to Taiwan! Taiwan is super safe and the people there are incredibly friendly! A tip for traveling solo is to bring a portable charger~ You can buy them either at 9x9 stationery store in Taiwan or at a mall (although they might be a bit expensive there.) So happy to see that you loved visiting Taiwan! 💖

[@andyjonwei]

I'm Taiwanese here, thank you guys like Taiwan 😊

[@m5203893m]

I’m a Taiwanese who’s been following you for years and I’m so happy to see you enjoy your solo trip in Taiwan 🩷 can’t wait for part 2!

[@kristinemendoza7355]

I love that I came across this vlog, as I will be traveling alone to Taiwan next month for my 31st birthday as well. I’m glad that I got an idea of what it looks like for someone my age. ❤

[@andyroach420]

Taiwan is a great country and has yummy food

[@victorputra7395]

love the standard of your vacation. Not too cheap, not too luxurious.. it's just comfortable.. Subscribed

[@eprjct]

It's very luxurious in Taiwan. They don't look luxurious because they are not big, but all the subtle detail is very costly. I"ll use the hair wash for example. 19USD for a hair wash is crazy! The majority of hair wash in Taiwan is around 4~6USD. It gets even lower if you do a haircut. It's nowhere close to what she had. She did a awesome job to making the video ngl.

[@nininana972]

I’ve been wanting to learn more about Taiwan but couldn’t find any vlogger styles I liked. This video is perfect timing!

[@issabela_shiloe]

Oh my gosh! I'm planning a trip to Taiwan next year and your video gave so much inspiration. It's so uplifting to see as a woman, solo-traveler too! I've been watching your videos since you've started KZbin and watching this video brought so much comfort and nostalgia. Love seeing you live your best life and can't wait for part 2!

[@stacyli22]

Weylie I've been a fan since I was in high school, I'm 28 now, and also just went on my first solo trip to Taiwan this year!! My family is taiwanese and I've been living in the US for most of my life. This video makes me so excited for my next trip! I hope you had a wonderful time in taiwan and get to go back again soon.

[@Bagellatte]

I’m going Taiwan Solo trip soon, have stayed there fr a year and absolutely love the country, food and people there

[@funfun-rh1dw]

One of my favourite place to go,things are relatively cheap, people are nice, food is good too'

[@funfun-rh1dw]

You can spend more than 2 weeks there doing a road trip .one month will be even better

[@eloamilkyway]

I am conviced to visit taiwan too. That’s how much i enjoyed this vid. Looking forward to the next one

[@genisisk]

That looks so fun! I want to travel to Taiwan one day 💗 Thank you for sharing with us Weylie~ You look so beautiful and glowing!

[@The_Best_Boxing_News]

Ohhhh you visited Taichung😊 Taiwan is a great place for a young woman to travel alone👍

[@HibariKyoua]

BEFORE I START THE VIDEO i had to wait until today to start watching this video cuz i had a test but i was saving it like that last precious piece of candy I used to hold onto as a kid cuz i needed a moment where I could really savor this video to start watching it. But im ethnically Taiwanese and its been almost 10 years since I've gotten the chance to go back. SUPER excited to see my favorite person experience it for the first time

[@fengyaxin8259]

I will say a thousand times that I love when Weylie talks more!

[@_Qaie]

Thank you for this vlog Weylie! I'm also going on a solo trip to Taiwan soon, this video gave me so much confidence :) Can't wait to visit all locations!

[@Skinnypnny]

“Can’t believe I’m turning 31, I still feel like I’m 25!” Omg that was what and how I felt when I turned 31 this year too, sometimes I naturally forget my age too hahah 😅 I love this video content, solo trip to Taiwan is so nice and I love Taiwan, people there are genuinely nice and beautiful

[@mflomagao7448]

Taiwain seems so nice and fun 🤩 Thanks for this nice video ❤

[@ErinShep]

[@wendytsang7935]

I love your travel videos, they are so enjoyable to watch. I think it’s because you have a bubbly and down to earth personality!

I really want to travel solo to Taiwan one day. This video is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to part 2! & Happy Belated Birthday!!

[@malvaviscoo]

[@janeelizabxth]

This video is just what I needed. So calm, relaxing, and aesthetic❤

[@checreates]

Hi Weylie! I just got back from a trip to Japan with my husband, which is actually the first place I traveled solo. I’ve been grieving leaving the country but this vlog came at the right time as I consider traveling there solo in the future! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, I love your perspective on timing as well - going at 31 vs 27 🥰🥰

[@lingnztw]

Please upload part 2 soon! This was so interesting ☺️

[@chiurosanna5073]

[@happyk8737]

I love that u r the only utuber really use the phone they promoted b4. Unless most will go back to their iphone right after.

[@GarrettShubert]

The breakfast shop you went to at 13:30 is DIRECTLY outside of my old apartment. What memories!

[@aliceq4438]

I’m so happy for you, happy birthday girl. I’m having tears in the end cuz this is what I want to do as well and I’m so happy to see you are enjoying your trip🎉❤

[@TheLyricah]

Happy Birthday Weylie 🎉❤🎉I love this Vlog, you captured the quaint beauty of your surroundings so beautifully. I really want to visit now! 🤗

[@amandaprice8540]

Am literally watching this in happy tears!. You visited my hometown! Taiwan looks so pretty (as it should be) in your vlog❤❤❤!

[@nicoleisathome]

I've been watching you since you started youtube and I love all of your videos! I feel like I grew up with you and I'm so happy that you are living your BEST life because you DESERVE it and more 😍

[@nancylee_]

終於等到weylie來🇹🇼♥️welcome 🇹🇼

[@fakerating]

Great video... just came back from there, wonderful country to visit. But the Eslite Bookstore in Songyan is 100 times the size of the Tsutaya Bookstore.... and is open 24 hours.

[@SnowCedarQueen]

Love the content, and itgreat to see you exploring! Man, I'm glad you managed your phone up° Part 2 yay! ❤

[@foxxrainn]

you are really like the sister to me Weylie! and with this video, you give me the courage to start planning solo trip to Taiwan too! Thank you. 🩷🩷

[@abisalazar1204]

Love the vlog! Going to Taiwan on June! Keep the recos coming please!❤

[@hellojennifer520]

First official introduction video to your channel. I have always heard of you from other influencers. Glad you finally did your awaited Taiwan solo trip. (My home country) Hope you will come back with friends to enjoy more of Taiwan and make more memories here!! 😊 Happy belated 31st birthday Weylie. 🎉

[@Lynvidallon]

I love taiwan!I solo traveled too!

[@itsmhylife]

Thank you Weylie I miss Taiwan the last time I went there was before the pandemic and I’m looking forward in visiting it again. Love the food recommendations ❤

[@TypicalTuyen]

Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! I hope to have the courage to solo travel internationally. Also you do have muscles!! YOU GO GIRL

[@jamesjames089]

Love your video❤️ It gives a refreshing and peaceful vibe

[@itsshomei]

So exciting!! I go back almost every year since most of my family is there. If you ever have the opportunity to visit again I would recommend going during November - January. During the holidays there are so many places that have beautiful decorative festive lights along with flower gardens. It's chilly but if you don't mind the chilly temperature it's definitely a different vibe 😊.

[@_analise]

just bump into your channel, and you have an amazing calm vibeee

[@vee_ngyn]

I enjoyed this series of you traveling alone! Excited for the next vlogs 💕

[@babiixjo]

Sooooo true as a solo traveler your phone is everything 😂 my cousin’s phone got all weird where the screen stopped working. The power and volume buttons works. She was still getting calls and text. But couldn’t do anything because the screen didn’t work. Now for my upcoming solo trip, I’m bringing an old phone as a backup 😂 Also, super cute bandaid 😆 Happy birthday!! 🥳🎉

[@green.rabite]

thanks for the content! was planning to travel to taiwan soon and love these POVs

[@americhien223]

[@melanieneroza7502]

This video was sooo peaceful 🥰 I love seeing your solo travel vids!

[@aimeevang3145]

I'm sure solo tripping would be a liberating experience for me but i would much prefer to enjoy it with my SO. I'd say we click almost as well and you and Wah, so everything is just that much better with him around. 😍

[@maia-roll]

This looked like such a fun trip!! Also way to go on the arm progress!! 💪🏽👏🏽

[@rhongomiant]

so you did get buff! I was wondering at the beginning of the video when you took of your cardigan, thought I was just imagining it but guess not. Good for you!! I remember you mentioning wanting to get stronger and I guess you have and it shows! Also always happy to see an update from you, Taiwan looks like a pleasant place to go for a culinary trip, all the food looks so gewd, ugh 😋

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

[@grezb7828]

Aww you’re so brave to travel by yourself. I’m such a Whimp and don’t know my way around or have the knowledge to navigate or read a map 😂 I’ll be a lost puppy once I land. I have PTSD but that’s awesome you did this. I can live vicariously through you. I hope you’re doing well! ❤🧡

[@seoulologyy]
