We survived the HARDEST and MOST EPIC hike in Taiwan 🇹🇼

Published 2023-09-16
Finally, it's here! THIS is the hike we looked forward to the most in Taiwan. We start by going up to (and climbing through) Teapot Mountain. Then we continue on to Mount Banping, walking along the ridgeline. It was extremely windy when we did this hike, adding an extra element of danger! Were the views worth it?

THANKS FOR WATCHING!

    Nice hiking video, it's so windy and difficult trip, but you made it! Normally hikers in Taiwan will greeting to each other "Good Morning, Good Day" and they'll say one word " 5 minutes you'll arrive the destination " and that is not true at all haha :)

    我是出生在金瓜石,小學後到外地念書,你們爬的茶壷山是較難爬的,幾十年前一次地震把茶壷山耳震壞了才㑹像現在這様,有一塊平台整齊排列石頭是人為的,那地方是日冶時期神社的舊址,辛苦了完成此次旅程。

    You're not the youngest travel channel but your contents have stole my heart. I stumbled to this channel and watched all the Taiwan videos the past 2 days. I'm glad both Heather and Bill are funny and produce quality videos. Can't wait to visit Taiwan in the near future.

    You guys are rock! Tea pot mountain is not an easy trail to hike, especially it was windy that day, well done!
  • @chien-yuchen1377
    That's really incredible you guys has done such a difficult climbing which makes one trembling even by watching. Thumbs up !
  • @cheng-enwang1299
    You are probably the 1st foreign tourist to successfully climb TEAPOT MOUNTAIN. Well done!
  • @HardQoo
    經常在附近的海岸線釣魚,看風向與天色,我猜測你們是午後去的嗎?通常那裡過了中午經常會變天,變的陰暗起風或下雨。(早晨天氣狀況較佳) 三年前的夏天曾經去了那裡爬山,當天天氣非常好,視野遼闊!雖然很疲憊但是站在山的頂端望著美麗的風景,一切都值得了!😊
  • @zhitsai3585
    為你們的冒險勇敢體力感到很棒,沿路山的風景的很美。
  • @ervinslens

    Wow! Respect for you two! Teapot Mountain is not an easy one to conquer. Congrats! :face-red-heart-shape::face-red-heart-shape::face-red-heart-shape:
  • @chuangchris7201
    Several foreigner Youtubers who are living in Taiwan also said teapot mountain is one of their favorite places.
  • @Getac100

    You guys are amazing and brave to go through this hiking.
  • @user-ob1le1zh2i
    你們真的很用心的拍影片~挑戰這樣的高山! 雖然已經很多很多的外國人去茶壺山!但是不能否認還是有一些難度的!(懼高症的人沒法去)
  • @akong0824
    The real beauty of Taiwan is deep in the mountains. Thanks God arranged more than 250 mountains over 3,000 meters high on this magical island........welcome to Taiwan!
