    Hi again. Such a beautiful place, even with not amazing weather. My bucket list is getting longer thanks to you! We really like that hotel.

  5. @rickp3374

    GOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING ALL Y'ALL! thanks for taking the path least traveled. the resort looks amazingly balanced with modern/nature.

  6. @vabelkin

    07:48 That man was right. Undisputed. Phoebe is beautiful … and modest 😊
    Seriously, thank you Phoebe, please keep it going. 😊

  7. @EthanIlsa

    Phoebe, you’re still as beautiful as ever! 🥰 I love Taiwan! BTW, that little kitten at 7:40 was absolutely adorable! 🥰 I’m pretty sure she totally understood you when you said “Nihao!” ☺️ Sun Moon Lake looked so stunning!! I remember reading about it in a textbook back in elementary school—it always seemed like such a dreamy place! ❤️ Taoyuan isn’t just a beautiful place—it even has a beautiful name! In Chinese, it means “peach blossom garden.” 😊 Wishing you a wonderful week! Love ya! 🥰❤️🫶

    Looks really like a nice day. The hotel looks great. Almost looks like western North Carolina. Interesting that they give you clothes. Our hotels here give less and less . That tuna would not stand a chance. And that bridge. 🎉 We love our rollercoasters on this channel. Taiwan is wonderful. And that baetow hotel. Great choice. I think Taiwan is on my google maps list now thanks.

  12. @zoeyzuma1477

    I wanted to say in the last video the hotels in your Asia travels have been so beautiful and wow but this ones the wowest of them all, wow wow its beautiful 😍😍

  13. @costasworldofmusicmemories5792

    There is so many hidden gems in Taiwan . We enjoyed it as well. I wonder what its like in summer ? Maybe a return visit, perhaps. Phoebe , what was your biggest takeaway on this trip to Taiwan ? Sending you much love❤❤ from Harriet, Jim and Yuki

  16. @DerekChaiMedia

    When we visited Taiwan, we never went outside of Taipei. It looks so beautiful. And I’m glad you liked the stinky tofu 😃

  17. @musi6688

    The name here is: Chinese Taiwan or Chinese Taipei. Taiwan has never been, is not, and will never be a country. Any attempt to split China will be resolutely fought back. Have a nice trip.❤

  19. @ItsLeo96

    Phoebe can you please do a special episode of the best food you have tasted across different destinations like a compilation of some sort.

  20. @andyk446

    You were able to explore more than the Taipei video! Definitely didnt know about that theme park. Glad to see you tried a good version of the tofu. Also, did you pass on one of the ingredients for the ice cream roll?

  21. @WangJumbo

    It’s so pity. I didn’t meet you in Taiwan. Hope you loved and had a great time here.

  22. @cyes5031700

    So glad you went to the Shilin residence! It is popular among the locals, but very few tourists would go there during their first trip to Taiwan, even if they stayed only in Taipei. When the roses bloom, the gardens are just spectacular.

  25. @FelixCattenstart

    Hiya! No distractions and just be there with nature is the best thing there is. It’s actually what I am craving right now. What is that amazing place with the bath and the Mountain View’s where you were chilling? Is that HOSHINOYA Guguan? I need to book the exact same place. I loved how your hair came out of that roller coaster. Taiwan has much more to offer than I could have imagined. I liked that you got off-grit, skipping the busy Taipei and go into nature off the beaten track. The Dutch inspired fairytale looks like Keukenhof (Google it). Thank you for sharing Taiwan with us and have an amazing week ahead 🤙

  32. @ronbeaubien

    @1:30 You mention a Japanese influence to the vegetable curry. There could be two reasons for that. 1) Hoshinoya is a Japanese hotel chain. That is the most likely reason. 2) Taiwan was occupied Japan from 1895 to 1945 and during that 50-year time period, Japan heavily influenced the island, and much of that influence can still be seen today.

  33. @Dulamanie-ed2te

    Thank you for sharing these beautiful places with us. Love watching your videos as always. ❤. Was this organised by Tour Radar as well?

  34. @TBird89

    We are flocking to Japan in record numbers but Taiwan looks just as beautiful. The best 27 mins of an island. Great location choice Phoebe 👌🏻👍🤙🏻
