搭火车环台湾7天，挑战每一站都找必比登小吃！会成功吗？台北→台中 | EP1

Circumnavigating Taiwan by train We have now arrived at Xiangshan Station. Just arrived in Kaohsiung Taiwan’s oldest train Island Star, here we come! Top-tier fortune Six months ago when we were traveling in Taiwan I accidentally obtained a map It was covered with railway lines and stations. Also, the food and scenery from all over Taiwan. We were thinking at that time If one day we follow this map What would it be like to travel around Taiwan by train? So this time we came to Taiwan with that curiosity. This island-hopping trip We will be riding Taiwan’s newest train. You’ll also experience an old-fashioned train that still uses electric fans. We will travel south along the north-south line to Kaohsiung. Transfer to the South Link Line at Fangliao Station. Crossing from the west bank to the east bank Then connect to the eastern trunk line Returning north along the East Rift Valley to Taipei Seven days in total Everywhere We will all search Hidden in alleyways, Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants Our first stop was the starting point of this island-hopping journey. Taipei We are currently in Taipei. We’re going to have breakfast this morning. Then we need to take the bus. There’s a button at the bus stop that says “Please wait for the bus.” What does this mean? Then you need to wait for the bus. The car arrived instantly when you pressed the button, right? Click it Click This bus has seat belts. Really This is the first time I’ve seen it Even ordinary buses have seat belts. Safety Safety There is also a safety door here. This is the first time I’ve seen it. In case of any emergency, you can get off the bus directly. And there’s more here. A location with priority access for wheelchair users. The bus even has a mobile phone charging port. The seats and facilities were very clean. The first bus trip failed. Then they got on the wrong bus and ended up somewhere else. I got on the wrong bus Currently on Section 3 of Huanhe South Road I’ve summarized an experience That is to say, when using Google Maps to take the bus Make sure you recognize the bus you took when you arrived. Is that really its name? Or ask the driver after you get on the bus. Ask a question We just saw Chongqing But it may not actually be. And Chongqing number so-and-so, etc. I didn’t ask. Then we sat in the completely wrong seats. Xiaoyu started spinning the prayer wheel. But none of them were transferred. No 307 Where is 307? Did we fail on our first try? We have now arrived at the circle line. It’s a line like a little train. It is a large loop in the city. In the end, we got on the MRT. I took the MRT. I originally planned to take the bus. That’s a good time to go in and take a look. This car has a very nice design. The lemon yellow color is very bright. Moreover, this is a driverless car. This car also has a luggage compartment in the middle. You can put your large luggage here. There’s also a luggage storage area here after you come over. Every time I come to Taipei, I am amazed. All the markings were drawn exceptionally cleanly and neatly. It’s like we went to find Bib Gourmand. A very difficult journey We haven’t eaten for over an hour. Let’s go, let’s go! We now seem to have stepped into a The vegetable market that has not yet opened All the stalls and tarpaulins are set up here. This tarpaulin has a really nice feel to it. I think it has a special local flavor. It’s like that… The seafood one Fruit and vegetable market Fruit and vegetable market Or rather, selling seafood Nobody came. Look how beautiful the view is in front of this place! This green rainproof fabric Finally, finally we’ve arrived! They’re right behind us! What is it called? Jiaxiang Pure Soy Milk This time coming to Taiwan We opted to try to eat Michelin Bib Gourmand meals as much as possible. Not a Michelin-starred upscale restaurant It’s affordable, and some are even sold from small stalls. It can all be called a Michelin Bib Gourmand. And sometimes you’ll see This store is said to be a Bib Gourmand selection. But when you get here, is it okay to just say “this little shop”? It just feels old. But we’ve been to Taiwan several times already. Discover and eat at small shops Okay, no problem. Thanks Thank you, thank you have fun OK Bye-Bye Fried dough sticks Hello We’ll order two of their specialties for the two of us. distinctive The special feature is that That one What is it called? That’s called pepper and scallion pancake. Pepper Scallion Pancake We’d like two pepper scallion pancakes. We were selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand this year. I saw it and just came over. So that’s the signboard. Okay, okay Just in time to see them come out of the oven Can we each have one? Can Should we add an egg? Jiajia Can Just do it the way you normally would, okay? no problem Then you need two soy milks. Do you want it with sugar or without sugar? Should soy milk be sweetened? Add sugar Add it Sugar Warm Warm Warm Warm Warm soy milk Let’s have two fried dough sticks too. Two fried dough sticks are enough. OK Thanks Today was a weekday, and it happened to be raining. So there are relatively few people Scallion Egg Scallion Egg Add our pepper and scallion pancake It also needs to be cut open It needs to be cut open and sandwiched inside. And there are scallions in it. There were scallions in it. A twelve-hour flight from Seattle to Taipei We haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet. After experiencing the ordeal of getting on the wrong bus in the morning, I stumbled and crawled around. When we were covered in sweat The moment I took my first bite of the pepper and scallion pancake It suddenly dawned on me that we had really returned to Taiwan. Finally, we can eat! Is that a nunchaku? Freshly fried Freshly fried is the best. It’s still crispy. The last time I ate fried dough sticks was at the World Soy Milk King. Take a bite crisp I could hear how crisp it was. Freshly fried dough sticks The feeling of this fried dough stick is… It’s not particularly big and it’s brittle. Each bite is like a fried dough twist. Very distinctive The boss just told me to eat it with soy milk. This soy milk is slightly sweet and has a soy flavor. Dipping it in soy milk is the correct way to eat it. Soy milk with fried dough sticks is the standard way to eat it. This smells so wonderful! It also has the fragrance of beans. Soy milk aroma It smells so good! Especially refreshing It tastes like beans Thank you, thank you Okay, thank you. I just checked and you guys have quite a lot of fans. You’ve already seen the channel. Da Bai Xiao Yu Sees the World Xiaoyu’s View of the World 165,000 followers come on Go go go! It’s called something like scallion pancake (pepper scallion pancake). Scallion pancake It actually makes sesame seed cakes. Then, after cutting it open, it was full of scallions. Then it also added a scallion egg. Look, it’s full of scallions. It also contains pepper. It’s actually a pepper flatbread. Peppered flatbread Then you can add eggs inside; you can choose to add eggs yourself. Have a bite What does it feel like? It has a very strong onion flavor. The scallion flavor is particularly strong. It’s delicious, but I think it’s also delicious without the egg. Yeah It has a very strong scallion and pepper flavor. Then if you add eggs You will have a meaty aroma It smells really good. tasty I want a second one now. Right? I want to eat a second one. No, because we have other shops to visit later. There’s a very relaxing feeling when eating in Taiwan. Because even the owners of these small shops sit nearby. And the guests here are very casual. Moreover, these stores are just like home. Freshly baked These are freshly baked pastries, right? For sesame seed cakes The crust of the sesame seed cake So crispy It’s crispy as soon as you pick it up. Then it usually eats fried dough sticks wrapped in dough. It’s crispy It has a salty and peppery flavor. Very crispy Very crispy It feels especially suitable to carry around. Eat a bite when you’re hungry It looks just like a layered cake. So that kind of food tastes like… The kind of crumbly pastry I ate a meal in a panic It’s because every time we go to Taiwan Everyone seemed really enthusiastic. Then there are the people sitting at or even at the next table. They would also take the initiative to come and talk to him. Then Especially since he knows you’re from out of town. Then I found out you came to play. Then they’ll introduce you to all sorts of places to eat and where to go for fun. Then how do you take the bus? Even when we first came out… One of the aunties also said How many buses can you take from this side? You’ve gone the wrong way. It’s not over there, it’s inside. We just arrived from the United States I am particularly unaccustomed to this environment But I also really enjoy this feeling. So, although I was a little flustered… But it tastes really good. We both just got a haircut. A new status I got a new head It’s a relatively modern barbershop in Ximending. The service was also excellent. And you see, we’re doing pretty well now, right? The service in Taiwan is truly exceptional. The second restaurant we looked for was really hard to find. It turns out it was in Ximending. It’s very old. In the old building The second basement level of the old building Then you’ll see a sign here. It says the second basement level This is actually a food court. It has everything The main entrance is here. Hello, both of you Thanks We arrived at this old Shandong beef noodle shop. It’s on the second basement level of a shopping mall. It felt like a very old-fashioned restaurant. But there’s no outside, no windows. Only underground But his specialty here is beef noodles. And that one I think his dumplings were pretty good. Hidden in the underground shopping mall of Wan Nian Building in Ximending Old Shandong Beef Noodles The old Shandong in the shop name The founder’s heavy Shandong accent Since its opening in 1949… It has been more than seventy years. The shop specializes in hand-cut wide noodles. Combined with Taiwanese beef bones and Chinese medicinal herbs Broth simmered over low heat Simple taste with rich flavor This time we came to Taipei I especially wanted to try this bowl of old flavor that has been passed down for generations. I want dumplings dumpling I thought it was one of those dumplings served on a plate. But in reality, it’s still just like a bowl of noodles. Then hot and sour soup dumplings Xiaoyu’s name is Niu Sanbao. Cow Three Treasures Then I made what’s called “whole tendon beef noodles”. Have a sip of the clear soup first. How about it It’s the kind of beef soup with soy sauce. Then do you know what its characteristics are? It’s knife-cut noodles. To say it is not The beef noodles we ate before Aren’t they all round noodles? It was said to be shaved with a knife (cut with a knife). This is so smooth, I want the three treasures! Then there are three parts of the cow. It has tendons and meat, and it also has tripe. And beef tripe Very large Yours is more abundant. I think its main feature is that it has a lot of meat. They are all very large. There was a lot of material in that material tray. There was butter and this kind of chili. It is two different types of chili oil And then there is… Look, there’s more here. Pickle Sauerkraut pickled mustard tuber pickled mustard tuber pickled mustard greens and scallions You can get its materials there. The most important thing is this This is also… Shandong pickled vegetables Kimchi (optional) It’s like stinky tofu topped with kimchi. It’s sour and refreshing. Not the spicy kind. Soft But it’s not the kind that’s overcooked until it’s mushy. Look, even the small bowls we ordered have a large portion. Have a bite of kimchi Just add some kimchi I think I can add a little more myself. Those soy sauce seasonings and stuff Because it is only It simply maintains a very light and refreshing broth. Then that salty and spicy flavor You’ll need to add some other flavors yourself. I think its main purpose is to maintain umami flavor. So on its material platform They have everything: chili, vinegar, soy sauce, and more. I just added some of this chili. I also think this sauce is pretty good. This kimchi is king! This kimchi is a must. I think this kimchi is pickled in white vinegar. It’s made with white vinegar and chili peppers. I’ll have some chewing gum. The tendon feels very slippery. bouncy and bouncy Melts in your mouth It melts in your mouth! The tendons have a collagen-like feel to them. And it also has a very strong beef flavor. This needs to be made with all the tendons. It’s so delicious! Then take a sip of soup The kimchi is now soaking into the noodles. It may be playing its role as a substitute for the feeling of vinegar. This noodle soup should have a slightly sour taste. I just want one bite of this kimchi So much! I originally wanted to eat dumplings. But I ordered hot and sour soup dumplings. When they delivered it, they all told you to keep going. Then, unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bowl of hot and sour soup. This is the best hot and sour soup in my opinion. The hot and sour soup must taste like this. Extremely sour and then burnt and spicy These dumplings are made with chives. Chive filling Chives and Pork I noticed that the dumpling skin was particularly chewy. Chewy good And when eating, you just take a bite of dumpling and a bowl of soup. Actually, you don’t need to dip it in vinegar or chili. You can just serve the soup directly. It’s a bit like wontons This is the soup version. Soup version Lemon Aiyu This is traditional lemon-flavored Aiyu jelly. Aiyu Lemon Then love lemon Eat here or take away? take away This is Aiyu Lemon, right? right Is this a whole lemon placed here? Or is it Arrange them nicely Arrange them nicely clear True Acid That lemon juice A very strong lemon flavor It’s pretty good, quite delicious. Especially suitable I think Taiwan is especially suitable for visiting in the summer. It’s also ice-cold inside, which is super refreshing. I probably get ten cups a day. Thank you, boss. Thanks Thanks We have now arrived at the Mazu Temple in Taipei. This place is dedicated to Mazu, the goddess of Taiwan. You see, it’s actually just on an ordinary street in Taiwan. There are vehicles coming and going right next to it. Then we saw a lot of people I walked straight into the temple. He bowed once and then left. Gone Then they left. I feel that faith has become a thing in Taiwan. It has completely become a very ordinary way of life. My first day in Taipei We enjoyed authentic local cuisine. I also went to the Tianhou Temple to cast divination blocks for blessings and received three holy cups. We also bought them in advance The most important pass for this trip: TR PASS It allows us to ride the Taiwan Railway an unlimited number of times within five days. Because I haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet So we decided to go back to the hotel early to rest today. Get plenty of rest for the island tour that starts early tomorrow morning. This is a pretty good hotel, similar to a guesthouse or hostel. youth hostels And it feels especially youthful. Our room wasn’t actually that big. But it has everything. This is a workbench. Then next to the workbench he designed It’s just a handwashing sink. This is its most distinctive feature: a small balcony. The best place Then this small balcony came in. Actually, it has quite a lot of space. You can eat here or something. There is a table Taipei’s temperature has always been particularly good. So you can look at the following here. Then we’ll eat something here. It felt very comfortable at night as well. Taipei is not New York, Taipei is not Tokyo Taipei is not Paris, Taipei is not London Taipei is a bizarre and wonderful place. The two of us originally wanted to go eat Taiwan Railway bento boxes. But it doesn’t feel like it’s going to rain heavily today, does it? We’re hungry now that we’re out. Then they took care of the 7-ELEVEN next door first. So convenient The most convenient thing about Taiwan is that there are 7-ELEVEN and FamilyMart everywhere. Actually, I have a little selfish reason. That’s my sweet potato. I can’t move when I see sweet potatoes. Newly baked It’s still so delicious Xiaoyu, let me demonstrate my proficiency. How to do the third step? Then what Then I don’t know Is the third step like this? Aren’t you quite proficient? is that so is that so You know? Then eat it with your hands. Actually, it seems like it can wrap that paper on the outside. Yeah What should I do then? What should I do now? You’re going to open it for me, right? The third step is to find someone else to help you open that paper. There has to be someone else who can’t do it alone, right? Okay, I’ll tear it open like this and then I’ll use my hands. Because I felt it was a bit unclean to hold it in my hands. so Very good Heavy rain We set off from Taipei Main Station in the early morning despite the heavy rain. Begin this round-Taiwan trip Taiwan Railway Tour Officially Begins We’re about to depart. Then behind us was the magnificent Taipei Main Station. This time, we will use railways for the entire journey. Around Taiwan Then in multiple ways We will also explore the food streets of various places. Then you’ll ride all sorts of different trains. Let’s go! Xiaoyu, look, this is the Taiwan Railways logo. Yes, it’s this blue logo. But why is it divided into carriages? Because it has local shuttle buses. Another type is the “Self-Reliance” type or something. Actually, it’s all in here. The Ziqiang ship needs a pedestal. What’s wrong This is mine. Can’t you get in? I just inserted it and it said “Put it in paused”. Go to Shanjia Shan Jia This won’t do. Enter from the side Or enter from the side This strange thing happened right after we set off. Because of our ticket Even the staff said it was okay to go through that gate. But it just won’t open. Then you can only go through manual processing. This is so beautiful! Taiwan Look, it’s a pineapple on top. pineapple This car is so beautiful. This is our first stop. The first bus we took around the island was a shuttle bus. Actually, this local train is a slow train. However, none of the routes they took were particularly long. Then I just checked… They say the shuttle bus is commonly used for commuting. This car can come over. And there’s a restroom here. There is a pool There’s also something to do with the baby. Then there’s a toilet and a shelf. Departing from Taipei Station We traveled south along the longitudinal line. Our first stop was Shanjia Station. We’ve arrived! This Shanjia Station seems to be the same as the one we use to go to Ruifang. These are all somewhat similar The rain has been nonstop today. This is our first stop today, Shanjia Station. There is one as soon as you exit this station. Charging station The key thing about the charging station is why it has a piece of wood attached to it. You see, it’s very interesting. There’s also one with patterns that resemble those of ethnic minorities. It looks like a solid wooden stake. It really is a power strip It can also be charged. This is indeed quite retro. And you see in the rain It has a name: Shanzijiao This is the old station. Oh my god, this rain is so atmospheric! Shanjia Station is an old, small station on the north-south line. It was first put into use in 1901. It was called Shanzijiao Parking Lot at the time. You can see the old station building as soon as you step off the platform. Wooden windows and pebbled pillars The details of the eaves still retain their original appearance. It was raining when we arrived. The air was filled with the scent of damp wood. The Shanjia Station was even quieter in the rain. It also has a touch of nostalgia. Only two people in all of Taiwan waited in the rain for Shanjia Station to open its doors. And at this time A 72-year-old shop was discovered. Our mouths were watering. It’s called Shanjia Smoked Chicken Feet I found that store. This is braised. Smoked Smoked We could smell the smoky odor at the intersection just now. I’d like a small bag of chicken feet. good And then I’d like some chicken liver. good You guys came here to have fun? We’re looking at Shanjia Station. station I found out that you’ve been living for over seventy years, right? Seventy-two years A 72-year-old shop Okay, let’s go eat over there. Thank you, bye-bye. Take your chicken feet Let’s go check out Shanjia Station first. Just opened the door It smells of wood. We can also get a stamp. Xiaoyu, can we stamp this? Because this should be for railway enthusiasts. Railway enthusiasts I would be more interested in this. I like the history of railways Because it’s coming to our side. The Japanese will come to our side. Because this was built during the era he was from. So if they come to Taiwan They will definitely come here. Understood Because this belongs to them. Okay, I understand. They’ve come to see history too. Shanjia Station Covered It’s the old timetable. So how do you suggest it be updated? Is it really not going to be updated? No way! It’s probably because someone reposted it after something changed. Maybe. Look, the row behind you is where people used to wait for the bus. Here are some old photos. The old Sanga Station is located on a very narrow street. Priority seats existed even in that era. And it just wrote it on the wall. I wrote it down. Look here, one-day stationmaster What is it called? Welcome to wear this old hat. Is this a location point? For the positioning point Is this chair the old style? It’s quite soft. Tickets released Ticket distributor The tickets used to be released Do you have the hard kind? Very small Those are no longer used; now everyone uses cards. I used the card. But all of that was in the past. These are all from the past. All of them are from the past. A century-old drawer A hundred years This is all cypress wood. All cypress trees are cypress trees. All of them are cypress trees. Model of Shanjia Station Shanjia Station It is exactly the same as here. First time visiting Taoyuan Station A seat marked with the Ziqiang train was drawn. This is my first experience. It’s funny, the ticket we bought was a five-day pass (TR PASS). Have you noticed that these two tickets are exactly the same length? They look exactly the same If you have this ticket (TR PASS) If you can just take any of these local buses… You can just get on the bus. But if you want to take that kind of express train Ziqiang Express, Puyuma Express, and similar trains. You need to select your seats online first. If you can choose a seat This means you have a seat available. Then you just need to pick up the ticket. The express train is mandatory; everyone must sit and cannot stand. However, on shuttle buses, you can stand. Our car has arrived. Is it number 9? These are the seats. red sofa Like a strawberry There’s also a pedal. The two hurriedly boarded the Ziqiang Express. After we got up there, we both felt quite confident. It’s 32. Then I didn’t even check if it was car number 121 outside. Then we went up. Make sure to check the serial number. Fortunately Fortunately The Ziqiang bullet train actually feels like a very old-fashioned vehicle. But everyone inside has a seat. And the seats are very soft. The car feels very bright. There are restrooms and everything else provided up ahead. There are luggage racks on top You can also eat Taiwan Railway bento boxes here. For example, we can eat our chicken feet now. This chicken foot is incredibly lifelike. The smoky flavor seems to have a slightly spicy kick. It’s slightly spicy, not too spicy. The whole thing smells smoky. Salty It’s not particularly salty. It contains chicken liver and chicken gizzard. Then I saw that it also had large chunks of braised meat. Smoked Including things like tofu, etc. Actually, you should live nearby. Sometimes it’s really nice to have a little bit every now and then. It goes especially well with beer. The outside of my liver feels a bit hard. And inside it’s soft and fluffy. There is still a smoky smell. It also has a slightly spicy flavor. I think it must have been marinated first. Then smoke it I think liver tastes pretty good. I think chicken liver and duck liver These are all so soft and creamy, they taste delicious! It smells so good! Then we arrived in Hsinchu. Now let’s exit the station and take a look at this station in Hsinchu. Actually, Hsinchu Station is the most distinctive. There are also here. It’s great that there’s a place to store luggage here. It’s so great that there’s a place to store luggage! Then swipe the card. Transaction completed Payment completed Password printing We have a password You can retrieve it with a password. Okay, we have just arrived at Hsinchu Station. My first impression upon seeing it was that I was in Europe. This is our first time visiting Hsinchu Baroque-style train stations possess a classic European aesthetic. Hsinchu looks like many other cities in Taiwan. The streets and alleys extend outward from the train station. It was filled with dense signs and the sound of motorcycles. Various shops lined up on the same street There is a strange sense of order amidst the chaos. It’s hard to imagine Behind these streets that seem to be steeped in history Hidden within is a chip giant that leads the world in technology. And our mission for this trip Of course, you should find the Bib Gourmand restaurants in Hsinchu! Let’s satisfy our appetites! The huge building behind me It’s almost up to the clouds; it’s a parking lot. Two parking lots It’s the most unusual parking lot I’ve ever seen. Is this a car parking lot? Michelin 2025 Original Duck Rice Smoked duck rice We have now arrived at Original Duck Noodles in Hsinchu It will only be included in the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025. We discovered it by chance, it was near the station. So it’s very suitable for us. Very close Perfect for our railway island resupply Exit the station Then they walked a short distance… Then you can finish your meal. Then go back and take the bus And I really like the feeling of eating out here. Because Taiwan is naturally hot and humid Then it will be very cool. Rich duck meat Moreover, the duck meat on top was fried. This is amazing! This looks like scallion. Is it the fried shallot kind? It seems so But I don’t think it’s duck meat. This duck meat can be cooked in this way? Because I was thinking there was a lot of oil on top. But I didn’t expect it to be a bit dry. So delicious It’s somewhat like a duck version of braised pork rice. It has oil underneath. Below is duck fat. You see, it’s sprinkled with duck meat. Below is oil. In other words, the whole meal was very flavorful. There’s oil and juice from the duck meat below. Then a layer of duck meat was laid on top. And then there’s fried shallots. It’s not like the kind of roast duck we eat. It’s the kind that comes out baked. The outer skin is oily. It’s like that It had a duck-like texture, like it was stir-fried or boiled. Its oily aroma It all comes from this fried scallion The duck meat is stir-fried. Then it’s stir-fried with chives. It’s stir-fried with a sauce flavor. Like it was stir-fried with some kind of sauce It has a good flavor Put that sauce on the meat Is it greasy? Not greasy Not greasy, doesn’t feel greasy Not greasy There are chives But it contains bones. Chives are especially delicious But it does have that salty and fragrant taste. It doesn’t have any other spiciness. Especially chewy The meat, and it even had duck skin and tendons attached. Then there’s the taste of chives. It tastes especially good when mixed in now. I think this dish paired with this rice is especially delicious. Traveling by train in Taiwan is simply blissful! We ate right after getting off the bus. After finishing our meal, we got back in the car and left. It’s pretty cool. This day is full of anticipation. I look forward to visiting any small station. And the food is different at each stop. This duck blood soup contains shredded ginger and pickled mustard greens. Is the weather getting colder? pickled mustard tuber Pickled mustard tuber is sour and salty. It looks like it’s been soaked in sauerkraut. This atmosphere can only be found in Taiwan. Yes Open We found a method I got one at the tourist service center. A complete map of Taiwan Then all the stations We will cover it in its corresponding position. Around this position Boarding on time Our next stop is Xiangshan Station. You can enjoy delicious food while traveling. This is probably the most pleasant part of a Taiwan railway trip. We slowly enjoyed the scenery on the train. Enjoy this island-hopping trip at a leisurely pace. OK, we’ve arrived at Xiangshan Station. This is a very old station. Xiangshan Station is a present One of the few remaining wooden train stations Even the oldest train station has an elevator. marvelous Press it. This already has a woody feel. Look at each of its stations It is in its own unique style. Is this really a station still in use today? This is amazing! There’s a small door here; you can’t go out this way. Actually, I feel like… It feels like I’ve arrived in Japan. Two stops south of Hsinchu We arrived at Xiangshan Station This place is completely different from the European Baroque style of Hsinchu Station. Fragrant Hills is a small train station with a purely Japanese style. The earliest Xiangshan Station opened in 1902. The wooden station building you see now It is a cypress wood building dating back to 1928. The aroma of wooden walls, black tiles, and cypress wood. The entire station was filled with a sense of nostalgia. Entering the waiting room It gives you the illusion of stepping into a Miyazaki Hayao anime. Safe waiting area at night How can I feel at ease? Seeing those words makes me feel at ease. In other words, some people wait for the bus here at night. And look, they provided three seats. To Changhua Does he have an account number? 2535 That’s it, that’s it! 2535 is too early. Bring your things, bring your things. We might wander off and not know where we’ll end up. Why did it arrive so early? 2535 Five minutes early Continuing south along the longitudinal line, the train entered Miaoli. At Zhunan Station, the railway splits into the coastal line and the mountain line. We chose to proceed along the sea line. Next stop: Xinpu Zhunan Station has arrived at Baishatun. But today we can only pass by by train. They say this is the closest station to the sea. But after downloading it, nothing happened. This station is bald, it doesn’t even have a roof! Extremely simple Our train has left. Our train Look, there are two old wooden chairs. At least they were given a small house to keep out the wind. That’s all for the station. Then there’s a staircase above that leads across the station. It doesn’t have an elevator, but you can walk. There is an elevator, right? Below here Because some There are many elderly people here. He will just walk directly to this platform. They would just open the door. This is the station. Okay, let’s go down from there. Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you Thank goodness we met some locals Tell us one Because there are many elderly people here. Therefore, it doesn’t have an elevator. It went down directly onto the track. It doesn’t need to go up. Xiaoyu, move to the side. Look, an old train is coming this way. A very beautiful blue Come over there Just go from behind We’re almost at the beach. We’re getting close to the sea. No post-production painting or anything like that was done. It remains It looks a lot like the station we just saw. Very old-fashioned state It feels similar but not quite the same. Look here After exiting this station The sea is right here. Very close here That’s how the paint chipped off. Look There was no mention of repainting or anything like that. This is made entirely of wood. Xinpu Station What a tiny little station Especially like that kind of animation It felt like stepping into another world. That feeling It’s so unreal And look how beautifully it’s done up front! Then there was no one, only the sound of the sea. It feels like a This place really feels like an island. It’s an island After our Xinpu Station ended We need to continue along the coast towards Taichung. Because we have a meeting with our audience in Taichung today. He’s going to take us out for a nice meal. We didn’t cover all the stations during that period. Because we found it to be completely impossible. Because each time we go to film a station You have to wait 30 to 40 minutes for the bus. So the day passed quickly. I am coming This was the first time the two of us had visited a small coastal town in Taiwan. Then That town is too small. Too small Then you’ll feel like there’s hardly anyone here. And I just met a local young man who said… There are many elderly people here. That’s why they That’s a place where pedestrians aren’t allowed to walk. However, it will still be open for pedestrians. It’s about letting the elderly keep going. And I think this place is actually It still gives us a sense of loneliness. Do you know about Cape No. 7? Lonely It’s so quiet until you arrive at this station. When there’s no one around, you can only hear birds chirping. Sometimes I feel that railways give people a sense of loneliness. Only slow trains that stop at every station will pass by. Imagine if we were ordinary passengers This station is just a short walk away. You won’t even notice There’s an old-fashioned platform at Xinpu Station. You went over Then there was a staff member at that station. Just one person Just one person I just felt It seems like not many people talk to him all day. It should be This place might really be inhabited by elderly people. Or perhaps it’s someone who has always lived here. Then many young people They’ve all left. They might also choose to leave. Young people might just take the train to Taichung. Or maybe they went to Taipei. I went to look for a job. More opportunities But it will become much quieter here. Have you heard the song “Lukang Town”? Lyrics are just… Taipei isn’t my home. Doesn’t my home have neon lights? It refers to this kind of Does the fact that my home doesn’t have neon lights mean it’s a small place? Is Taiwan’s healthcare system reliable? Medical care is guaranteed That pension is quite secure, right? Pension benefits depend on individual efforts. The older the insured, the higher the premium. If you retire monthly, you’ll receive more. So if you don’t work and want to get insurance Only five or ten years old Of course, what they received was only a few thousand yuan. I’ve been working for almost forty-one years. I have worked for forty-one years For a long time Of course, I received more when I retired. Understand, understand The insured amount is relatively high and the working age is relatively long. Forty-one years is certainly a lot. This is called having a life plan that won’t change. That’s right Everything is wonderful Life is rather short. It is very short. It’s time to work. When I’m not working, I’ll go anywhere. Enjoy life stroll around and have some fun This is your current state. That’s my current situation. I am 68 years old (by Chinese reckoning) but 66 years old (by actual reckoning). That’s not obvious. Because often exercise Walking helps prevent your motor cells from aging. Be more active hyperactivity I want it to sweat, to not stay at home all the time. No sweating Okay, our car is here. Where do you want to sit? We need to catch up. There’s no one here yet. We were originally going to get off at the Zhuifen Station. But there was nothing they could do since it was already dark. And there are no more trains running. So we simply took the train to Changhua Station. Then return to Taichung The train we’re on now is the Puyuma Express. I just checked. Puyuma is a type of train on the Ziqiang high-speed train, and that’s why it’s called Puyuma. But it is not a new self-reliant. The newer model is a level above this. This is so cool! Can everyone do this? It should be possible. Can they do this in front of them too? The seats are somewhat like those in first class. Tired? Tired We spent the whole day getting on and off the bus. All day limit I’ve never ridden in a car like this before. We just got off at Taichung Station. Our Taichung audience They then brought us to this night-time braised pork rice restaurant. Our first day of our island-hopping journey has finally reached Taichung. Our friends from Taichung took us to a… A 50-year-old shop It’s a well-known late-night snack shop among locals. It’s only open from night until the early hours of the morning, so it’s called the night section. Look at my braised pork rice! My braised pig’s trotters rice bring it on Their braised pork rice for two consecutive years Received a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation Fresh pork with soy sauce, sugar, soju, and shallots Slowly braise to infuse flavor The meat is rich in collagen and has a slight elasticity. Paired with the restaurant’s special pickled cabbage The flavor is incredibly rich with every bite. Late at night in Taichung We ate this bowl of braised pork rice that we had been longing for. I feel very satisfied I’m also starting to look forward to the next few days’ itinerary. Tomorrow morning We will continue south along the railway to our next stop, Tainan. That is Shiliu Station Look, we’re eating on the street right now. Stir-fried beef It contains chili peppers. Michelin Bib Gourmand savory porridge

这次我们飞到台湾，展开了 7 天的【火车环岛旅行】。

这趟旅程从台北出发，
我们沿路寻找道地的庶民美食，
也造访了多座拥有百年历史的早期车站，
在旅途中慢慢了解台湾铁路的故事。

依照时刻表跳上火车、背着相机一路记录、
找餐厅、赶火车、处理行李——
能顺利完成吗？
老实说，我们自己也没底。

但旅行嘛，就是先出发再说。
因为这里是台湾啊！
