15 Things To Do in TAIWAN for First-timers | Taiwan Travel Guide | #Taiwan2017
SORRY ABOUT THE MISSING BACKGROUND MUSIC. I GUESS IT’S A COPYRIGHT ISSUE AND WAS REMOVED BY THE ARTIST.
Here are 15 things to do if it's your first time in Taiwan. I know we could have done a lot more things like ride the Maokong Gondola among other more exciting activities but we had my father with us who is 70 years old so we were kinda limited to doing easier and more convenient things. This trip was my birthday gift to him.
We will definitely go back and do my coffee crawl.
Enjoy and see you on the next video!

Our third day in Taiwan was an adventurous one. Travelling from Taipei Main Station, all the way to the sacred Buddhist site of Lion's Head Mountain in Miaoli. The dreamy ambiance, paired with the breathtaking views, momentarily made me contemplate becoming a monk. This was an unforgettable experience!

Best Views of the TAIPEI 101? (Long Exposure Tutorial)
BE PART OF THE 1000-SUB CHALLENGE:
Here's another video from the few days that I spent in Taipei, this time figuring out where to get the best views of the Taipei 101. To be fair, there are LOTS of places from which you could shoot this iconic skyscraper but with the weather and time against me, I only managed to document these two main spots. From the Taipei Financial District on Xinyi Road, to the short hike up Elephant Mountain, I walk you through some of the best views of the Taipei 101, along with a short explainer on how I shot a long exposure of the skyscraper at night on my Sony A6300. I also talk a bit about my impressions of Taipei and whether or not I'll be going back to Taiwan for a second visit.
