How Did I Get Taitung So WRONG?

Taitung and the east coast of Taiwan are some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I decided to check it out for myself but oh man did I get it all wrong. I was initially hesitant to release this video and I kept coming back to it, trying to improve it. I'd really appreciate your feedback in the comments below. Also sorry for the lack of videos lately, I'll be back to my normal schedule!

    看Prozzie的影片會的感觸 台灣人應該很喜歡看外國人怎麼愛台灣的影片,我自己也喜歡,但是看多了有時都會懷疑是否自己的國家有這麼好? Prozzie很真實的把一些他見到的面相都呈現出來,或是把他自己想法不過度修飾地表示出來,相較於其他呈現美好一面的youtuber(當然這些也不是錯),是Prozzie令我印象深刻的。 面對批評與讚美的時候,人們有兩種情緒,承認與否定;各國在面對這些批評與讚美的時候的的反應,也可以呈現出各國觀眾的差異性。 台灣當然也會有不合我意就把你當異端糾眾群起討伐的情況(尤其是涉及政治時),也有人會看到後有所反思為什麼我們給人這樣的不好的印象的。希望前面的情況如果發生的時候別傷害到國外朋友對這片土地的熱愛。 === 回到影片本身,台東相較於西部因為交通的因素,外來衝擊少比較封閉local,各方面的競爭都較小,旅遊方面外來客平時需求少,造成平常空房率高,只有過年期間有供不應求的情況,非連假時通常沒有飽和,比較新的民宿或飯店都是10多年前大陸客較多的時候新興而投資的,相較品質較OK但是價位也相對高。 沒一年到頭都有穩定客源的情況下,舊市區的老旅館因為競爭力弱,在沒有投資翻修前通常平時是走低價來維持。近年有些投資重新翻修提升設備,但不乏還是有老旅館像是鬼屋的(我以前朋友過年臨時來,因為找不到比較OK的,也是住了可怕的鬼屋)。 品質可以從一些訂房網站上的價位跟評價上來先過濾 :),尤其是連假時,別讓太老舊的住宿體驗打壞大家的玩興,建議還是要先預訂。火車機票等也是都很難買,沒法像在西部交通多選擇性,地方較不方便時自己安排行程與住宿交通就得多花心思多做準備嘍。 (沒翻英文,因為不只給Prozzie看也是給其他有緣來台東玩的朋友的建議)

    We took the train from Kaohsiung to Taitung in August. Took two and half hours, great views, but many tunnels. Stayed at Taitung Hoya hotel, very modern, around $75 us a night with mainly Chinese breakfast, chose it as near the beach, but agree area around there not developed and not inviting. There is a local bus service that runs both clockwise and anti clockwise on circular type route that includes bus and train stations. I caught it from the bus station platform 8 and only when on it was I able to see the other bus stop locations. Loved eating at the small cafes with there cooking stations virtualy on the street in the heat and cafe itself inside in airconditioned rooms.

    As far as I'm concerned, it's good to visit a new place with loose plans in mind, and a fair amount of research done beforehand. But you'll definitely miss out if you close yourself off from impulse visits, and changes of plans, and the general whimsy of the road. Keep an open mind, and no expectations, and you'll probably be delightfully surprised.

    身為一個台東人覺得大家要得到一個符合都市人期待的有趣且舒適的旅程真的需要諮詢在地人,另外新民宿新飯店非常多。 台東的原住民族數是最多元的,但人口數沒有比花蓮多,要到部落交朋友歡迎撩在地人大家會幫助你。 把心靜下來,脫去城市帶給你的氣味,你才能更快的融入後山,6月底最好的時節,豐收和熱氣球及繡球花盛開,朋友們一起喝酒。 話說海濱公園的咖啡廳和餐廳在前面的區域,不在鳥巢那裡,沿著步道走就會看到,但你往森林公園走當然什麼都沒有。

I like an outline of things to do that can change. I probably secure a hotel then go from there. Taxi/ buses is usually fine unless I meet someone who will take me on a scooter.

    I think I'm half and half. My general planning abroad for tourism is basically pick two things for the day in advance. Then the rest of the day is as the wind takes me, so to speak, but I try to make a plan for two things each day, some kind of monument, museum, etc. Obviously it can vary depending on the time the things take, one day might be one thing, next day might be 3, but in general two things per day you preplan. I think doing that gives you the best of both worlds, of a free feeling travel experience but not wandering aimlessly.

If with others, have different input and still go where not been before. If I plan a trip I Aways include flex Time so can change plans. If I have only an outline of where to go leaves me open to might show up. I love driving and any nature involvement. Not much party person. But was when I was your age.

    I like to have an idea of the things you can do in a place, so I don't end up missing out on anything or having your situation, cos then I can work out what sounds interesting for me to do whilst I'm there, but I also don't like to make an intenerary or anything like that either. It's a nice balance of "I'll see when I get there, and explore" and "here's some shit I know would be fun to do/see" if that makes sense? Like when i visited Taiwan, I would get lost in my neighbourhood, just wander around and find all sorts of nifty spots or pretty areas, or awesome food, then turn on my GPS to get back to my flat. But I had also looked up some fun things I could go see/do when I had the time, (I was studying at a MTC). :)

    I've always traveled alone all over Asia. I was living in China too like you ( I think we were both living in China in the beginning of my venture there and you were spending your last year there). It would have been nice to have a travel buddy but my coworkers tended to stay in the city during holidays or were in relationships so they would be traveling with their significant other. I have always did some researching on the cities I went to.... the famous landmarks and maybe a few obscure ones if they're not too far because I didn't have the luxury of having my own mode of transport like you . I did everything my foot and public transit. I looked up best restaurants, where to people partied, etc etc. I never went blind. I'd book a cheap hotel close to everything or most of where I wanted to visit. It saved me time and money. But i never made up an itinerary of every little thing to do and see everyday and at exact times. Since you can jump onto a motor vehicle like your bike or in a car, just do some Googling on the cities you're driving to in Taiwan. That way you know whether it's worth staying in that town or just pass through to another town that is worth staying in.

    Taitung is for sceneries, aboriginal culture and food, water falls, hot springs, rice and tea culture, and hot air ballon festival....also surfing. Two small islands: snorkeling and ocean hot springs at Green Island and authentic and very rustic oceanic indigenous culture on Orchids Island....

    Hey Prozzie, I've been loving your videos on Taiwan recently. I know you have a prejudice against Brits, but do you reckon you could do me a favour and do a video detailing in depth the pollution aspect of Taiwan. You could describe each city, North vs South and compare it to life in a Canadian/Western city. Thanks

    I feel much more secure travelling alone. I like ti have ideas what I'm going to do but i always end up winging it. Having plans is good if they're communicated with everyone, but my first trip to Asia was with a girlfriend who didn't tell me any of the plans before the moment they happened and put me through 3 weeks of absolute hell. I went back alone after we broke up, and didn't end up doing much with the friends I was meeting, but had a time nonetheless.

    Interesting as Taitung is one of my favourite towns in Taiwan. I stayed in Taitung for a week and renter a bicycle immediately when I came there (should've rented a scooter instead, but OK, it feels good travelling around with on your own power). Yes, there isn't much happening in the town so you need to find it and you can't do that on foot (it's a small town, but not that small). Mostly, I don't plan anything before travelling.. I try to figure it out when I get there. But I got into trouble with the immigration once because of that. 2 years ago I decided to go to New Zealand but I didn't look into anything what to do there, and just roughly where to go (North to South) and I had no idea about the popular places and when the immigration asked me what I will do in NZ and where I will go, I told them I plan to travel and I have no idea yet where exactly I will go. This was highly suspicious and they almost didn't let me into the county.

    It' so sad that you visited Taitung but did not meet what you expect to see...haha... I have lived in Taitung for many years, it' hard to survive if you don't have a scooter, in here, people usually get around by car or scooter, so next time that you visited Taitung again, go to rent a scooter, btw, remember that you need a international license for riding then you can rent a scooter! Once you rent a scooter, you can go to almost every breath- taking landscapes! Besides the indigenous cultures, Taitung is also famous by its nature, wild animals and outdoor activities, such as surfing, diving, mountain climbing, paragliding, hot air balloon, biking, triathlon ect., and Taitung also have kinds of hot spring in the mountains and natural streams, in the world, there are three under sea hot springs, one of them is just located at Green island, a small island that is nearby Taitung eastern offshore, another two under sea hot springs are located at Italy and Japan. If you go to sea, the probability of meet the dolphins or whales is high, here also could find the green sea turtles. I think Taitung would be a bee's knee for the outdoor or natural aficionados!
