🇹🇼 first time in taipei: exploring ximending, yehliu, shifen, & jiufen | taiwan vlog (part 1)

ni hao imnida! („• ֊ •„)੭ i recently went to Taiwan for the first time with my work friends. we spent our first day wandering around the vibrant streets of Ximending, trying out Taiwanese food and checking out some local shops. on our second day, we took the scenic northern route to New Taipei: Tiaoshi, Yehliu Geopark, Shifen, and Jiufen. I was able to film some highlights from our Taipei adventure and thought it’d be fun to share it here. Spoiler alert: we had the best time ever!
