LAS MEJORES VISTAS DE TAIPEI!! | TAIWAN #3

I wanted to come here because this must be a somewhat alternative place this used to be Yes in the area where I am all these buildings are like a wine museum well a museum For storing wine and then they converted it again they wanted to turn it into a residential area But the local artists got it first and turned it into something alternative where to have music festivals exhibitions bars as well as a bit of hipster the Like a little place where young people can go and enjoy themselves and there's usually also Events like the one you're hearing about there's an event here from Adidas I don't exactly know What it consists of but there are a lot of people here gathered in line but I don't know what is happening There are art galleries around here a wooden Tetris the Spanish game couldn't be missing I imagine that you go here to the lever and the bull passes here and you fight it a very good performance This is super fun there's like an entire festival set up in the field and it's singing He was now entering a place that was like a full virtual reality to try out jumps I'll try one to see how it is if I find out anything there was He will pay Peter will pay for trying it Here curiously in this building here that is completely covered in vegetation On the facade an exhibition by Antoni Gaudí the Catalan architect and I found it fascinating It's strange that he's here in the middle of Taipei I haven't gone in because I've been in Barcelona So if you want to see an exhibition of Antoni Gaudí go to Barcelona and that's it Well very interesting area it's nice to spend a little time walking around here Visiting the different small stalls and especially if you happen to be here during a festival like this is when there's a lot going on So many people and you can experience different things even they might give you food drink and things So you're eating for free and I'm going to head on foot to the next destination which I think is over there The truth is it's quite hot almost 40 degrees but it's not that bad For example in Singapore I don't know if it's because there isn't so much humidity or because it enters A little more breeze but it's not that hard to walk on the street it's also like that here More accessible which also helps but well I'm managing fine for now One of those two is false I've come to a place that has impressed me a lot because I didn't expect it there was no I had not seen any photos or anything about it I had only read about it and it is the pavilion in honor of Chen Kangshek the Chinese nationalist leader who had to flee here to Taiwan and was stationed Here governing for many years after World War II and it is a site It is controversial because of course many people do respect what his figure was bu No because of the damage it caused to the local population here so in fac There have been controversies over trying to remove a statue of him that is here inside Rename what is the square but for now nothing has come out so nothing I'll show you What is the hall like from down here On each side of the statue stands a guard and at the top of every hour there is a changing of the guard Until five in the afternoon I think and it's now four thirty so at four thirty Five should be the last one I don't know if I'll be here but okay if I am Look I'm going to do magic I can do it again It's a huge square there are two temples here on each side but of course each one of them would already be like a giant temple in itself They feel dwarfed by how vast this square is and how vast he is the hall It's crazy I think this is the most spectacular thing in all of Taipei at least of what I've seen I've come here now to the east of Taipei at least the city not the big city And here are some fairly well-known hiking trails one in particular to see the views City festivals to watch the sunset and such and I don't know if it's usually popular or not It's because it's the weekend but it's completely full literally packed to the brim I've already reached the top if you see my red face it's because it's reflecting now All the sun that is setting and also the sweat The climb isn't hard but for example I've climbed it pretty fast It's sweating quite a bit but it's manageable maybe around 15 minutes or so If I go at a normal pace but if you come on the weekend I don't know about weekdays but today for example it's full of people I suppose it will be a mix of The weather is nice it's Saturday and it's just the best time of day which is When it's getting dark but there are still a lot of people I found a little spot here because everyone goes to the typical viewpoints and here well you're more or less in a good spo Sitting on the mountain but at least you're somewhat calm you don't have to walking around with people to see it I don't directly see what dusk is The sun because it's behind the trees but anyway I can see for example Taipei 101 What is that skyscraper over there which is one of the tallest in the world that I will go up to See if another day and you can see the city more or less from here and after being A while there watching the sunset and the truth is it was really comfortable really peaceful there was Many people but that in the place I found for myself was great and nothing else honestly It's really worth it as I've told you the climb isn't at all hard and to get here It's very simple just take the subway to this station which is The Xiangshan station is the last stop on the red line so it's very simple and according to You will have all the signs indicating the way so you have to cross a park But it's all full of signs that tell you which way the trail is the hike that trail It's not much because it's all stairs but okay it's very easy to get there Now my intention since I'm here is to go up to this tower the one in Taipei 101 which doesn't look very good from here but well I'll try anyway because normally This type of skyscraper observatories are usually reserved I mean You have to book them in advance and if you go at the time then usually it's already all occupied I'm arriving at the base of the Taipei 101 tower and look at the ground it has So non-slip it seems like it has hair gel what madness it's like a constellation Here are some very curious sculptures here is something like a potato or I don't know what Yes the opposite one is a tuber and then there's this sign from Lod which is the same It's in New York just like that Hello to enter the tower that is to go up to the observatory you cannot enter through the Main entrance because they are all offices companies and such you have to come this way it's a Not very different from what happened in Dubai where you have to go to the mall because this is the same It's the same there's a mall next door this one here which you enter through I imagine that at some point you pass through it and then you go up from there Let's see here are more sculptures interesting things There's the Din Tai Fung my favorite restaurant in these countries because it's located a All around and I don't know if I should go up the tower or just leave and go to dinner because it's getting late I'm hungry Okay right now it seems like it's a huge shopping mall in fact there's an Apple here Store crowded as always and they say you have to go up to visit the tower On the 5th floor and this is the first one so the mall is quite big Hello it's crowded here with people coming up buying and doing everything there are hours of There's a long line I don't know how many hours but there's a lot of people and the building is full It is 508 meters tall with the antenna on top which I think makes it even taller It's around 460 something like that and since I'm all tired I'm going to have dinner
