My First Time in Taiwan – Taipei Vlog
Cori Ander 2025-01-2323 min

For my first destination in 2025, I chose Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China. In this vlog, I will show you around the country’s capital, Taipei City, a tropical metropolis with almost 2.5 million inhabitants. Together, we will visit some of the city's main tourist sights, including temples, memorial halls, and street food markets. We’ll try different Taiwanese delicacies and explore what life is like in Taiwan. Additionally, visiting the popular Elephant Mountain, which offers scenic views over Taipei City, is another highlight on my itinerary. During my travels in Taiwan, I fell in love with Taipei City. Not only did I notice many similarities to mainland China (People's Republic of China), but also many differences. In the end, it was Taiwan’s incredibly friendly and welcoming people that made my trip so special. With this video, I'd like to show you what makes Taipei so unique and why visiting the city is definitely worth it.
