Go Go Taiwan in the Northeast Coast Every trip, I’m very happy. But I think the production team seems to be trying to prank me a bit. How so? Why is it that after you joined, last time it was running, this time it’s cycling, I’m always competing in sports with someone who graduated from a physical education department? Is that right? Wait a minute, I thought this was the norm for “Go Go Taiwan.” You just need to expend physical energy. I think it’s because you came that this misunderstanding only made the difficulty level increase even further. I was thinking, last time, the first time I came, I cycled 100K. So now running and cycling seems quite reasonable. Reasonable, right? However, I feel this time it’s actually not very difficult. Because the Northeast Coast is really a very familiar cycling route for me. This route we are going to cycle is very relaxing, very carefree. Also, coincidentally, this route I am also very familiar with. The area where I usually train (cycle) happens to be the area from Yilan to Fulong. Back and forth. So you should be leading the way. Yes, but This path you just brought me to, I have never been inside here. You mean the Old Caoling Tunnel Cycling Path? This route, you haven’t cycled it? Because when I usually train, I cycle from Yilan City to Fulong Station. Exactly 100 kilometers round trip What are you showing off? I just happen to be on the coastal highway. Normally, a hidden spot like this, such a small alley, I really haven’t been inside. So, back when Yu the Great was controlling the floodwaters, he passed his home three times without entering. You are cycling, training, passing the Caoling Tunnel three times without entering. I really didn’t have time to stop. This time, I’ll have to trouble you, this fake Yilan person, to take me, a real Yilan person, for a tour. You are the fake Yilan person! You haven’t cycled in here at all. You fake Yilan person! We are cycling back to Yilan now. However, this trip isn’t just about cycling the Old Caoling Tunnel. There is also another cycling path: the Longmen Yanliao Cycling Path. Along the way, we will see a lot of fishing village scenery. In addition, of course, there is also delicious food. We get to cycle, see beautiful scenery, and have delicious food. I can’t wait! Hurry and take me there. Look, let’s depart. Others are Yu the Great, and you are Look. Okay, Look. Look. Starting from here, look. The starting point is here. So cute. We can also see Guishan Island. We can also see the entire ocean. A huge satisfaction all at once. This counts as a bundle deal. This wall also hides a Platform 9 ?. I see it. I’ve seen it in the movies. Are you sure? Are you sure? Can’t go in. Why are you carrying such a big box on your back? I have to carry it up to my coffee shop above. So the supplies for your coffee shop do you have to do this every day, carrying them up on your back? Yes, because here cars cannot reach this spot. Teacher Hsiao-Chieh. Hello. Hello, Teacher. Hello, Windy. Teacher, I brought Look to experience it with you. Hello, Look. The Old Caoling Cycling Tunnel. Let’s cycle it again. Exactly. This place is really comfortable. A great place for cycling. Although I’ve been here many times, I never get tired of cycling it. This person He lives in Yilan. Oh, really? But he hasn’t cycled here. Lives in Yilan, but hasn’t cycled this Old Caoling Tunnel route. He really is a fake Yilan person. Wouldn’t everyone be surprised to hear you live in Yilan? Because once you pass this tunnel, it’s Yilan. In the middle, we will see a boundary between New Taipei City and Yilan County. Did you hear the music at the tunnel entrance? Yes. The song we sang as children, Diou Diou Tong became famous because of this tunnel. After cycling through the tunnel, we will see the Shicheng Rest Area. You can see Guishan Island there. Heading towards your territory now. Okay. Leaving New Taipei and heading home. Getting ready to depart for Yilan. This tunnel, was from the 10th year of the Republic era, I guess… That was during the Japanese rule era. Taish? 10 (1921), I guess. It took three years to complete this tunnel. This tunnel was, at the time, Taiwan’s longest railway-only tunnel. So up until now, it has been 101 years. It was the longest tunnel at the time. So it must have been a great transportation construction project. This is equivalent to the concept of the current Hsuehshan Tunnel. Exactly. If this tunnel hadn’t been opened, it would mean that going from New Taipei City, from the current New Taipei City to Yilan, you would have had to go all the way around. Actually, with this music playing, cycling inside the tunnel has a great atmosphere. Yes, and it’s actually quite hypnotic. Also, I think the tunnel is great because it is very cool. We are cycling now, at 10 o’clock, but the temperature difference compared to outside should be about 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. Yes. It’s great for escaping the summer heat. It’s also wonderful for children to cycle here. And we often say that it resembles a time tunnel. Some nostalgic things we would describe as if walking into a time tunnel. This route is actually a veritable time tunnel. Because the entire tunnel has a strong sense of time/history. As you cycle inside, you can imagine the ancestors passing through this tunnel crossing two counties. I feel like that scene is emerging. Oh my gosh. Guishan Island is so clear. Yes, the weather today is truly amazing. Guishan Island also holds a kind of magic. If, when you are cycling, you see it clearly and distinctly on the azure blue ocean surface, you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot today. Moreover, for Yilan residents, Guishan Island holds a very special sentiment. A spiritual symbol? Yes, truly. Every time I see Guishan Island, I feel like, I’m home. Look, look beside you. Besides the beautiful color of the sea, and the beautiful Guishan Island, the entire geology I think is also breathtaking. This reef rock is so unique. And as you just mentioned, a little bit of the sea wave remains on top. It feels a bit like the Mirror of the Sky. The whole cloud is reflecting on it. There is a bit of reflection overall. Very romantic. But Teacher, the formation of this geology is related to the pounding of the ocean and the differing rock layers here. It’s related, right? Yes, it is related. Because here, you know the formation of Taiwan was a series of volcanic pushing. The pushing of two tectonic plates. The entire section we are looking at on the right now is due to the tectonic plate pushing. Slowly pushing like this for thousands of years. Pushing out this entire area. So you can see that some parts were pounded and eroded by the waves, while others were preserved. So this entire area is the whole area of Lailai geology. This large special terrain some people call it the Devil’s Washboard. That’s a great name. Because it looks like a washboard, and it’s black. Yes, it is black. I think that’s very apt. It could also be called the Giant’s Washboard. I think that’s also quite apt. It’s a huge section, giant. If we look from this side, they are all horizontal lines. If we move forward further, they will turn into curved lines. So some people also say this is the claw mark of an ancient giant dragon. The trace of a claw passing by. We finally arrived at San-Diao-Jiao Lighthouse. Climbing up was a slope, but it was worth it. Really. Looking over here, I can see the entire Guishan Island. The entire ocean is visible. You can overlook everything from the platform. A huge satisfaction all at once. This counts as a bundle deal. Here at the San-Diao-Jiao Lighthouse park, I think there is inherently a very romantic vibe. But besides the romantic vibe, we are also going to sing a song for it today. Why? We have to sing after climbing up? Happy birthday to it… San-Diao-Jiao is 90 years old this year. It is a 90-year-old grandfather. Because back then, when the Spanish people arrived here, they felt it was beautiful. So they called this place San Diego. The homophone in Taiwanese dialect became San-Diao-Jiao. Its history is truly very long. And now the entire pure white design gives people a feeling of pure love. Truly. And it stands towering here, so magnificent. Because in the past, they burned kerosene (oil). So after they stopped burning kerosene, if we look behind us now, a place that looks very much like a church was the former kerosene storage depot. Later, after kerosene was no longer used here, they renovated this area to resemble Nordic or European aesthetics. Therefore, there is a viewing pavilion in front, also like a European garden. Many people come here to take wedding photos. I heard some people call this place Taiwan’s Eye, right? Yes. Because it is located exactly at the easternmost point. In the past, this San-Diao-Jiao area had many shipwrecks. That’s why there is a lighthouse here, to make people feel that they need to be careful when arriving here. Be careful, so you won’t be swept away by these undercurrents, or carried off by these waves. So, as Look just said, Grandfather Lighthouse Tower not only holds great historical significance, but it truly acts like a grandfather, looking after everyone, guarding everyone. Look, look! Now we have arrived at this small fishing village that I really love: Mao’ao Fishing Village. This place is really beautiful. And it’s ocean view, first row! As soon as we cycled in, we immediately got a feeling of slow living. The sea breeze blowing over also feels very comfortable. There are also many community murals nearby. It makes people feel that this is a small and charming place. And its murals, besides having some marine creatures, also include some I see some miniature depictions of fishing village life. If someone understands this, they will know the insight behind it. They will know how to use these murals to understand the local culture. Let’s park the bikes first. Let’s go find a local friend to show us around properly. Okay. Look, look at the murals beside you. So cute. And it’s impossible that the guest I invited, who lives in a fishing village, has to look this handsome just to look at the sea. Village Chief! Hello, everyone. Village Chief, the scenery here is truly therapeutic. And I just told Look earlier that the mural walls here have such character. Was this initiated by the residents of your community to create murals for the community? Yes, there’s a story behind this. This wall was painted by a French artist named Benjamin. Painted by Benjamin. He came to this fishing village, worked for his homestay here, and lived here for about a week. He felt that the fishing village culture here could be conveyed through his paintings. to present it. Why is Mao’ao Fishing Village called Mao’ao Fishing Village? The character ‘Mao’ (Ĩf) is rarely used. This has two origins. Taiwan’s easternmost landmark is in my area. The easternmost point is there. So where does the sun rise from? The sun rises from the east. During the Mao hour in the morning. The Mao hour is 5 to 7 AM. Taiwan’s first ray of dawn shines on this bay/cove. Mao’ao Bay that’s the first meaning. This Mao’ao Bay, around ’67, ’68 (ROC era), had no external transportation. All the residents here used local materials, using stones to build houses. During the peak period, over 100 stone houses were built here. People in ancient times were extremely good at having children. In one house, lived seven brothers and eight sisters, did you know? Over 100 houses housed 1,000 to 2,000 people, 2,000 to 3,000 people, living in this cove. This means they were what? As modern people would say, Easy. Making money easily, easy to earn. Very easy to ‘bau’ (acquire wealth). They ‘Maod’ it, they ‘Maod’ over. Here comes the second meaning. It simultaneously holds a natural meaning and a cultural meaning. Yes, both. Yes. I think I also feel a connection after hearing this, because I was born during the Mao hour. You are so suited to live here. 5 to 7 AM. Look, let me ask you. This is Mao’ao Fishing Village’s most popular photo spot and check-in landmark: the Nine Fish Pillar landmark. Does the Nine Fish Pillar mean there are nine fish on it? It represents how we earned money back then, the culture of sampan boats. Which fish were caught? Those nine fish had the highest economic value. We marked them out. The Wealth Pillar. Sort of. Nine Fish Pillar. Got rich relying on these fish. Yes, you could say that. Can you recognize them? Because you fish. Look, you should know which fish are valuable, right? I know quite a few types of ocean fish, but I’m limited only to the ones I’ve caught. So, have you caught valuable fish? I just took a careful look. There’s filefish, right? Yes. The one with an antenna on top is the filefish. So you’ve caught filefish? I have caught filefish. That’s impressive. Trichiurus lepturus. Bonito. Sea chub. Amberjack. Excellent! And also, I just saw… there’s Choerodon azurio. Choerodon azurio. Quite strong, impressive. Six types. Currently, six types. So out of the nine fish, you’ve caught six types. Then I count as… More than that. A pretty high ratio. Look, he even knows the spotted coral grouper. The Red Snapper, he knows that too. Village Chief, I want to ask, this Nine Fish Pillar, was this also done by that French artist we just talked about? Look, this was created by one of our former math teachers. who helped us paint it. A math teacher? He was my math teacher. After he retired, he felt that we have the culture of sampan rowing here, and our culture of foraging/collecting. He helped me integrate all of this using murals and landmark art to create this setup. So that tourists nationwide, and even international visitors, can come here to take photos and check-in. So he’s not only a math teacher, but your math teacher too. You must feel honored and deeply proud. Absolutely. Because I have been the village chief for seven terms. He said, “Village Chief, there is fishing village culture here, I will help you put it up.” So checking in at this landmark is especially rich in culture. Yes, it’s not just nice to look at, and suitable for checking in, but it actually contains a lot of fishing village culture linked to the locality. It has deep significance. The Village Chief just mentioned the stone houses to us. There are many stone houses in Mao’ao Fishing Village. There is one right here. Yes. This is the most representative example in Mao’ao Fishing Village. Look. This ‘human-figure-stacked’ stone house, look at it! Even the archway was constructed entirely by hand. In the middle of it, they used red clay mixed with glutinous rice as the adhesive. Look. The April 3 major earthquake. It’s been hundreds of years. It has endured hundreds of earthquakes. It still stands unshaken. Therefore, this current house is Mao’ao Fishing Village’s most representative century-old stone house. I want to ask the Village Chief, how long does it take to build a house like this? This… The human warmth in ancient times was excellent. It didn’t take too long. Because when your family needed to build a house, the entire village would mobilize. Those picking stones picked stones, those cutting firewood cut firewood, those carrying earth carried earth. The whole village came to help. It was finished within a month. One tells ten, ten tells a hundred. They came to help. Just like before, blow a conch shell and everyone comes over to build the house. Yes, our human touch the human warmth back then was excellent. When it’s the host’s turn to build a house one day, it will be the same. The whole village will come to help her. Please. In the past, it was all done voluntarily. Yes. Village Chief, you just introduced so many paintings on the wall, just like a menu. Looking at them makes me so hungry. Menu? Yes, what is this… So many seafood products. Do you recommend a place for us to eat? Indeed. The seafood here is exceptionally fresh. It’s the best. All caught by the fishermen themselves. There’s a newly opened one in front of the temple. You can go try it out. It’s just up ahead. Not far, we can just walk over. Let’s hurry! Hello, Boss. So much seafood. Hello, Boss. The Village Chief recommended we come to you for seafood. Before even eating, I know it must be great. Because anything involving three is amazing. Right, just like in our Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Oath of the Peach Garden, and Three Stooges. Also, the Three Little Pigs. Okay, I gave it They defeated the Big Bad Wolf. Yes You are… One seafood restaurant opened by three captains goods selected by one captain are usually already quite impressive. Goods selected by three captains are simply the top selection of seafood. Yes, exactly. Our seafood leaves the harbor and is sold every day. Once sold out today, we catch fresh stock tomorrow. So it is really all caught and brought back by the three captains yourselves. Sharing with everyone. Look, look at that one. Is this one caught and brought back by you? Exactly. This is so big. Do the three captains divide the work? Yes. The other two captains specialize in catching mackerel. You specialize in catching lobster. I specialize in catching lobster. Since you catch lobster and mackerel, these two dishes must be ordered? Exactly. Mackerel porridge is considered something for the older generation. We all had mackerel porridge when we were young. We’d cook mackerel porridge for lunch. Or when the captain goes out to sea, catches a fish, tells the worker, Why don’t we cook some mackerel porridge for lunch? Everyone just eats casually. So it’s the favorite porridge of the elders and captains. Then we should call it the Old Captain’s Porridge. That works too. 2 bowls of Captain Fish Porridge. Okay, no problem. Wait a moment, immediately. The food is served. But Sister Windy, I think you owe Boss Wu an apology. I owe him an apology? What? You’ve only been here for the second episode, and you can ask me to apologize already, is that right? But this is definitely worth an apology, right? I am sorry You ordered two bowls of porridge, right? I shouldn’t have ordered two bowls of porridge. I apologize. Look at this porridge. This one bowl is enough for our entire team to eat. This is a single serving of porridge? And a whole big mackerel is inside. The old captain really is different. When it’s truly caught by the family’s own boat, the seafood brought back is just different. Furthermore, mackerel is very rarely eaten boiled into porridge. Because most of the time, it’s mostly used for pan-frying. And the mackerel we usually eat is probably that kind of Norwegian mackerel, those dry-fried mackerel fillets. There are rarely local island mackerels. Yes. Because it is actually very difficult to keep fresh. So the fact that he dares to use it for porridge means it must be extremely fresh. It’s great with porridge. Because after mixing it with porridge, I feel that the aroma of the fish highlights the flavor of the rice. The two complement each other well. It’s delicious. It truly has a sweetness. It’s a sweet taste. This truly is fisherman’s cuisine. You really can’t eat this kind of thing outside normally. Furthermore, their three captains two specialize in catching mackerel, and the other one specializes in catching lobster. We must try the lobster. I think we really ordered too much for this table. Look. Yes, a bit too extravagant. Isn’t this a bit too extravagant? This is practically a banquet! I apologize. I really didn’t expect that every dish from their kitchen would be so enormous in portion size. What the captains catch themselves really is different. So plump and thick. So plump. The meat is extremely springy and chewy. It’s definitely not that kind of… What is lobster most afraid of? Not being fresh. If it’s been frozen, the meat becomes mushy. This one is very bouncy. It feels like it’s dancing in your mouth. Besides being very bouncy, it’s also very crisp. It has many soft and tender sections. There’s the tender bite, there’s the springy chew, and there’s the crisp refreshment. So within the same mouthful of lobster, there are three different textures. It is truly very delicious. There is also another signature dish here their pan-fried Moray eel. It looks so tender. It looks like it has lots of collagen. It truly has plenty of collagen. Its fish skin is so springy. Moreover, the meat texture is extremely soft and tender. Compared to the mackerel we just ate, the mouthfeel is quite different. This meat texture feels like when you put it in your mouth, your tongue pushes it slightly and it melts apart. And it only has a little bit of salt and pepper sprinkled on it to enhance the flavor. This lets you taste the inherent sweetness of the seafood itself. It won’t be masked by other seasonings. I feel very satisfied with every dish. Grand, isn’t it? Hello. Rui-Hong Ge, Windy, Look. Welcome to Fulong. Rui-Hong Ge, this is Look. Hello. I brought him cycling to check in here at your place. That’s great. It’s very suitable, right? This place of ours is a paradise friendly to cyclists. That’s why many people love to come here to cycle. They hold a special honor regarding cycling matters. Tell him. We have won the award for the Tourism Administration’s #1 Bicycle Friendly Hotel for three consecutive years. Three consecutive years! Rui-Hong Ge, may I ask you, what does “bicycle friendly” mean? Because I’ve heard of pet friendly, but I haven’t heard of bicycle friendly. Bicycle friendly basically, it’s divided into a few things. One is facility friendliness, the second is environmental friendliness. But Rui-Hong Ge, besides the fact that all cyclists know that you are very bike friendly, last time I stayed here, I brought my parents and my children three generations together. I personally feel that the hotel’s own facilities, are not just for cyclists and families, but also for those like you who haven’t been married long, still in the honeymoon phase. Their overall facilities and the layout/ambiance are also very suitable. Windy, Look. We are now at our ocean hot spring. Fulong’s ocean hot spring has been around for over ten years. This is the only submarine hot spring source on the entire island of Taiwan. Its scientific name is Chloride Hydrogen Salt Spring. Moreover, it is excavated from 1,500 meters below, and the mineral content is extremely rich. It means it’s good for our skin. It’s very film-forming , very smooth. This area is a very distinctive feature of our hotel. Next, of course, is this entire area you see, all arranged specifically for children. This… Because we are near the ocean, many parents don’t dare let their children constantly be exposed to the sun outside. So we have prepared kinetic sand for the children to play with. Let’s take a look at my room. I like this color scheme. The last time I think I also stayed in a room with this layout. I feel like this kind of color scheme matches the view outside the window perfectly. Look, the color scheme of my room is green-toned. Directly opposite is the mountain of Fulong. Everyone thinks of the sea when they think of Fulong, right? Yes, that’s right. But when I come to Fulong, because I’ve participated in trail running races, I’ve participated in triathlons, we’ve run into the mountain paths of Fulong. I feel that facing this forest really suits my personality. It’s very comforting, very healing. Truly. Plus, the room is generously sized. That’s right. It has such a large Japanese-style room. This tatami room is my favorite space. Look, this tatami room, actually, if we add extra beds, at least, at minimum, maybe five people can sleep here, right? The whole family can lie down on it. The whole family can. I really like sitting here. (wail…) My waist, sore from cycling today, sitting here chatting like this, isn’t it very comforting? Brew a cup of tea here, look at the mountains, I can completely calm down. It’s fantastic. Welcome. The layout of your room is similar to mine. But, Sis, have you noticed, the color and tone are completely different from the last one? That previous room was green-toned, a mountain view room. Mine here is a sea view room; it’s blue. Mountain girl. Water boy. It’s a good thing you didn’t say beach boy. Beach boy is good too, because right in front of you is a whole stretch of beach. Actually, I think besides the distinction in color, the visual experience is also different. This will also affect the guests’ mood differently. In fact, I would feel after staying in the mountain view room for a while, next time I’ll book the sea view room. And have you noticed? The sea view room is perfect for watching the sunrise. Yes. And the mountain view room is perfect for watching the sunset, right? A completely different feeling. Different feelings. I have a hot spring bath here. You have a private bath room. Yeah. But yours doesn’t have one, right? Mine doesn’t. Actually, both of us need a hot spring soak, because we both exercised today. But it’s okay. I am a person who does great things. People who do great things need to soak in a large public bath. I know that the public bath area in this hotel is very enjoyable. So, you take your time soaking. It’s fine. I’ll go soak in the public pool. The moment I soaked in the undersea hot spring, I felt that all my fatigue, was completely relieved. It’s so comfortable. Moreover, the undersea hot spring here is colorless and odorless. The spring water quality looks very clear. Furthermore, the undersea hot spring naturally contains a lot of minerals. So I know this is good for my skin and a way to soak that is good for my body. That makes me even happier. The entire undersea hot spring, the design of the large bath, has subtle and elegant decorations. I really like the wall behind me. It uses a collage method to blend in some elegant styles that girls really like, combining them together. Therefore, the mood for soaking in the hot spring feels even more light and carefree. After soaking, of course, it’s time to taste the food. Thank you, Rui-Hong Ge, for preparing such a huge spread for us. Also, I think what’s truly valuable about this hotel, is that many large hotels might serve set meals with similar dishes. But you combine your dishes with many local small farmers and local ingredients, right? Yes, that’s right. In this place, the junction of mountains and sea, there are so many ingredients that can be used. It would be a huge shame not to use them. I really want to quickly taste this pot in front of me. Look, look. It smells so fragrant. When it just started boiling and bubbling, I smelled that seafood aroma. This dish is called “Rice Aroma Golden Broth Seafood Hot Pot.” This originally uses seven kinds of fish from Daxi Fishing Port in this seafood dish, and then adds fried Gongliao rice. Gongliao rice is a wonderful rice, a very mysterious thing. Because it’s something you’ve heard of, but you can’t buy it. Yes, on the market. If you go to a supermarket or anywhere else, you have never seen Gongliao rice. But it genuinely exists, right? That’s right, and it’s the native species here. It grows right in the terraced paddy fields on Gongliao Mountain. Besides the fact that the broth is very fresh and sweet, the rice aroma melts into it. It offers many different textures. For instance, when I just took a bite, it had crunchiness, puffiness, looseness, and softness all at once. It feels very textured when chewed. But this one is also starch. It’s fisherman’s rice. Can I resist its temptation? The base of this dish also uses seven kinds of seafood ingredients made into Yangzhou fried rice, served with the freshest small squid. I love this too much. This is the dish with the highest repurchase/reorder rate. Really. I definitely will order this again. I can totally imagine why it has a high reorder rate. Because, inherently, besides the rice underneath having many different kinds of seafood, the sauce is also delicious. The fresh and sweet juice from the small squid has seeped into the rice. Although, when we talk about seafood rice, we tend to think of fisherman’s rice or seafood rice, we usually think of Western or Mediterranean cuisine. But I feel this dish completely brings us back to the Asian world. I feel the sauce wins out, and the seafood also wins. The sea bass is so tender. Yes, I really want to pair it with white rice. The soup is very fragrant. But it subverts everyone’s imagination of cream soup. Because ordinary cream soup might be thick, but its cream soup is very light and fragrant. Yes, generally when I’m out and eat that kind of pickled cabbage fish, I wouldn’t want to drink the soup, because the flavor is really too strong. Right. But this one won’t, you can drink it directly Honestly, every dish gives you decision paralysis. I think every dish is worth eating, and it’s not just the appearance you see on the surface. I think once you eat it, you will feel the chef’s dedication here. It completely overturns your imagination. There are many details inside. I slept really well yesterday. I’m fully recharged now. But where are we going cycling today? Today we’ll be taking the Longmen to Yanliao section of the bike path. Teacher Jack should be waiting for us already. Teacher Jack, the spot you picked is absolutely perfect. Yeah. Here, this is The place we arrived at today is the Longmen Suspension Bridge. It’s red. The area it connects starts from Fulong. We are currently going from Fulong slowly walking over to Longmen Village. The creek we are crossing now is the Shuangxi River. We can see over here the Longmen Campsite. And on the right side, we can already see the location of the sand sculpture exhibition. That’s the beach that extends from the hotel we stayed at right to this spot. When you guys went to the beach, you must have passed an arch bridge, right? Yes. This whole area is Longmen, which is where the Fulong Beach is currently located. We’re heading forward now. So green! As we walk ahead, we will run into Yanliao Coastal Park. Look, check out our left side. This green, the gradient of green… It looks almost artificial. Yeah, it looks like a filter was applied. Exactly. How can it be this green? Because the nearby vegetation and forest, and trees are very lush. That’s why the water color has become completely emerald green. And this suspension bridge, I feel like walking on it gives you the feeling of soaring straight into the sky. I think the view looking down from the suspension bridge is excellent. You can see the entirety of the Longmen Campsite that Teacher Jack just mentioned. You can also see the ocean, and the mountains over there, and the forest on this side. You can see practically everything. Teacher Jack, both sides here are… windbreak plants, right? Correct. Because there’s a beach nearby, so they plant these types of windbreak forests. Besides wind protection, these trees also block the sand, so it doesn’t blow into the villages and towns. So, the windbreak forest, based on what we know, besides protecting against the wind, also prevents sand. Yes. The function of preventing blowing sand is even more important than wind protection. Otherwise, the sand would fly into the city. It feels like a natural wall. Exactly. Can you hear the sound of the ocean now? Yes. Look, let’s cycle towards Gongliao and Shuangxi. I’ve already booked a tour guide for Shuangxi Old Street. Really? ThatĄĶs great! I’ll be able to learn more about the local culture. This is the junction where two creeks meet. Teacher Shuhui is over there. Teacher Shuhui! Hi, Windy. Teacher, long time no see. Teacher, you haven’t changed at all. Teacher Shuhui, Look is visiting Shuangxi for the first time. Really? Really, my first time here. It’s so beautiful here. Yes. Then we should get to know Shuangxi right here at the ferry crossing. There’s a reason I arranged to meet the teacher here. I didn’t just pick a random spot. I thought it was just because it was a bit cooler that we met here. It’s not because of a banyan tree that we met here. It’s because this place is quite important to Shuangxi. Exactly. For example, the direction you just came from is Pinglin Creek, one of Shuangxi’s rivers. The other one here is Mudan Creek. The two creeks converge here, which is why the area is named Shuangxi . Since it is Shuangxi, Look, do you know this used to be where boats came ashore? This means trade here was extremely prosperous. Yes, which is to say this was considered the commercial hub back then. Yes, it was considered it. Here, every inch of land was precious. Yes, every inch was precious. The commercial district, the most prosperous area. Right. After coming off the boat, heading further out, you would certainly reach the most prosperous old street. We’ve looked at the river, we should now go by land and take a walk on the old street. Because since we’ve landed the cargo, we need to go inside and check out this marketplace to see what’s worth seeing and eating. Okay, Teacher, lead the way. Teacher, take us there. The stone houses here truly feel very grand and imposing. They really are very square and straight. It’s pleasant to look at. Because these stones were all locally sourced and shaped by stonemasons during the Danlan Old Trail period. Hand-crafted Nankang sandstone. Shaped so perfectly square. Yes. Because here, the houses on the main commercial street are all owned by wealthy people. Their houses would naturally be more elaborate. The stone material needed to be more sturdy. This street must have been where the mansions were back then. This is the Xinyi District. And Look, did you know in this wall, in this building, there’s also a hidden Platform 9?? Nine and… I see it! Did you see it? Wait a minute, Teacher, excuse me. I’ve seen the movie. Are you sure? You have to be sure. Can’t get in. Because you are a Muggle. Yes, I am a Muggle. Teacher, you must be smart enough. You can do it. Come on. Teacher, come on, hurry up, be brave! Teacher, you’re a movie character, right? Teacher! Don’t tease the teacher. No way! Why is there something like this here? This is… The commercial street here back then, Shuangxi, where it often rains. They… When it often rains heavily, and they still need to do business, what should they do? Each house needed an archway between them, allowing people to pass through the covered walkway, doing business regardless of wind or rain. So, this is very mysterious. You aren’t really a Muggle, because you still have some understanding. You managed to notice it. Some people might walk past, and not even notice that there is such a thing… If you don’t look closely, you really will miss it. That’s right, you’ll miss it. You are still observant. In Heaven and Earth, there is a righteous spirit, which takes many forms as it flows. Below, it becomes the rivers and mountains; above, it is the sun and stars. The next line? Wait a minute. Are we singing this here because the song is out of copyright? No. Can’t you continue the poem? I really can’t continue. Can’t continue? Teacher, what if he can’t continue? How can you be like that? Here in Shuangxi, our… grandmothers can recite the entire “Zhengqi Ge”. That’s right. Because they are responsible for reciting the “Zhengqi Ge” here at the Sanzhong Temple. The “Zhengqi Ge” we just recited was composed by Lord Wen Tianxiang. So in Taiwan, there should be very few places that worship and dedicate offerings to Wen Tianxiang, right? This is the only one in Taiwan. The only temple? Yes. So why? What connection does Wen Tianxiang have with this place? Is Wen Tianxiang worshipped at the Sanzhong Temple? Because in the early days, there was the powerful Lian clan who developed this area. When they arrived here in Shuangxi, he was carrying the statue of Lord Wen Tianxiang to be their guardian deity. When he arrived at Shuangxi, suddenly, what happened to his carrying strap? It broke. At this point, didn’t they use small stones for divining blocks? And the statue of Lord Wen Tianxiang told him, I want to stay in Shuangxi. This place has an excellent spirit, so I will reside here. So the Lian family settled down in Shuangxi. Later, one of his descendants passed the Juren (舉人) examination, and initiated the plan to build a formal Sanzhong Temple. If people go to worship at Sanzhong Temple now, what do they usually pray for, Teacher? For academic or official success? You got it right. Many local students, before taking their exams, will bring rice dumplings here to worship. Guaranteed pass. Teacher Shuhui bringing us here to climb a slope must be for a reason. Yes. We have arrived here. This is ShuangxiĄĶs first municipal historic site: the “Protect Our People Stele.” Look! This historic site is such a hidden gem! If you hadn’t told me, I would have walked right past it. Just like that platform earlier, you could easily walk by and completely miss it. No. This was deliberately placed on the main, necessary route of the former Danlan Old Trail, in the most conspicuous spot. to carve a large stone stele to commemorate something. This stele clearly has a lot of history, because itĄĶs already somewhat mottled and blurred. ItĄĶs hard to see exactly what words are carved on it. It’s amazing, it’s carved from a single piece of stone. The words we just recited… you should be able to recognize the characters on it. Protect Our People. What does that mean, Teacher? There were 20 local leaders who wanted to praise Jir? Yokosawa, the Keelung Prefect. He exempted farm rent for three years. In the agricultural society at the time, this increased the good farmland by 52 units of area. So it was considered a benevolent policy. Later, he encountered an accusation of corruption. These local leaders then jointly signed a petition, hoping to guarantee that he was previously an official who was very good to the area, a benevolent Prefect. Therefore, in this very conspicuous location, on the necessary route of the Danlan Old Trail, they specifically carved this cliff inscription onto this large stone. So, in other words, everyone really liked this official who cared for the people, so they were essentially pleading on his behalf. Yes. Sister Windy, you just took me cycling around the entire Northeast Coast. You haven’t cycled enough? And now you’re making me hike? Something minor like hiking, for someone who graduated from Physical Education, is absolutely a piece of cake. Plus, you couldn’t recite the “Zhengqi Ge” Your brain isn’t working well. Aren’t you going to keep improving your physical fitness either? You already know my brain isn’t good, so I couldn’t recite it because of lack of oxygen. No, exercising more stimulates your dopamine, making your brain operate more flexibly. But I look at this path, and I can’t see the end. You should at least offer some kind of reward, right? There is a reward. There’s a drink waiting up there. Only men with courage get to drink it. Saying that… Yes, one sentence: With courage. Let’s go. Just for those words, I’m betting on it. Before you even drink the coffee of courage, let me give you a reward first. Look at this scenery. This view is acceptable. So beautiful. This elementary school is so lucky; it’s right next to the sea. It’s both painful and happy at the same time. They have to climb all these stairs for class every day. That’s true. a moment ago. I feel that walking on this trail is already very comfortable. I don’t need to give you any reward; this piece of nature is the reward itself. Plus, look, here is the mountain face, and there is the vast ocean. There’s a feeling like you’re about to go on an adventure and enjoying the impact and contrast between the mountains and the sea. I really feel that here, like you said, it’s like an exploration. I feel like I’m in one of those sci-fi movie settings. Yeah. Screw pines. They look so ancient. The vegetation is so lush. Yes. Look, you really shouldn’t be panting here. Look ahead, there is a… there’s an older sister. It’s a woman. Sister, what is she carrying on her back? Why are you carrying such a large box? I’m carrying it up to my cafe above. This is your cafe? Yes. Why did you open it in such a high place? Why not just open it down the hill? Don’t ask about that yet. Don’t you think the sister is working hard? I’m a bit out of breath. Don’t question her choices yet. She’s carrying a pile of stuff. Let’s help her first. Thank you. I’ll help you. Toast. Supplies. So, do the supplies for your cafe have to be carried up like this every day? Yes, because here, cars cannot get up here. So, what kind of place is it up there? Why open a cafe right there? It’s an abandoned military base, military land. It’s been abandoned for a long time. The Tourism Bureau took it over and renovated it. We lease it from them. It’s so much trouble; why did you lease it? The scenery here is very beautiful. To provide a place for everyone to rest. We must enjoy every bite of the food inside with a grateful heart later. Even the water is pumped up all the way from the bottom. The piping is very long and distant. I thought the water was carried up too. You scared me. I’m really dying of thirst now. Can you take me there quickly? You carry it. I still have to carry it, right? Yes. Can you do it? Help me out. Thank you. Among the three of us, you are the only man. What do you think? Take me there. Help her. Sister, I’ll help you. Be careful. Walking in from here is the boundary of the Tingtao Military Camp. Our cafe is beneath this rainbow staircase. You guys are clever. You built a gate first to trick everyone into thinking they arrived. You actually have to walk down further. The rainbow steps were built here. You have to walk down and look up to see that they are rainbow steps. This is how they guide people to walk down to the bottom. No. The hidden meaning of this statement is that after you drink your coffee, you have to walk back up. Yes, we have to go back. Having climbed the trail, and entered the military base, you are the one with courage. A drink that only a true man who overcame countless hardships can drink. Yes. And it’s a drink that only a tough woman can drink. But don’t you think Sister Jiahui actually has a true artisan spirit? Her personality also shows a bit of obsessive-compulsive tendency. Carrying things is already heavy enough, yet she insists on using glass bottles for her cold brew coffee. It’s super heavy. That’s how you get quality. This makes it convenient for people to use it as a takeaway cup. I think with cold brew coffee, just pouring it into this ice sphere… Look, shaking it like this, that ice sphere, look, that feeling… Sister Jiahui, your personality is really romantic. No wonder you were tricked into coming here. You are very suited for this place. She really values a sense of ritual. So as long as the ritual is right, she’s okay with it. Yes, look at my drink. It also looks very romantic. This is a bit like using the principles of mixology. Because my background is in mixology. I use the principles of mixology to create these layered colors. I like this cup of mine. It has an orange base. Orange juice my favorite! Plus, it has a little bit of another fruit flavor added. It tastes like raspberry. So besides the original citrus sweetness, there’s also a sweet and sour berry flavor. After drinking it, the fatigue from earlier really has dissipated. Worth it, right? Worth it. I personally already thought it was worth it. My sparkling drink also has a berry flavor inside. The first layer I tasted had a berry feeling. Since it’s a sparkling drink, we were initially tired from walking up the trail. Now I feel that the fatigue has been dissipated by the bubbles; it’s so refreshing. Yes. All that exhaustion is gone. This is perfect to drink here. So perfect. It’s a completely therapeutic feeling. Just looking at the ice sphere is already very soothing. My eyes already feel relieved. People who really love coffee will definitely order this. But it really is delicious. I love it. And it fits the environment here. The entire setting is completely inconsistent with a military camp. Right. You wouldn’t imagine that this used to be a military base, apart from the camouflage paint outside.
