TAIWAN: Temples and Mountains
Taiwan is a small island. It is about 500 kilometers from north to south and 100 — from west to east.
Practically all western coast represents a huge urbanized zone. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish, where one city comes to an end and another begins. But should we move from the coast, slightly towards the central regions, rural areas with rice fields and palm groves instantly begin to appear. And a little more further to the east — the rivers, lakes and mountain ridges.
Our travel begins in Taipei. Exactly here, in the capital of Taiwan, there is an international airport — the air gates of the country.
There are no more than one or two historical sights here. But the existing ones are treated with big respect. Temples have remained best of all. Both Buddhist and Confucian. All, small and even absolutely tiny, family temples as well as the cult complexes with pagodas, pavilions and courtyards, occupying huge territories.
The grandiose memorial Chiang Kai-shek in the center of Taipei, near the Presidential palace, the National Theater and the Concert hall reminds of the Lincoln's memorial in Washington.
The first stop is the city of Zhanghua.
In the park, on the mountain of Eight Trigramms or in Chinese Baguashans, they have built a grandiose temple complex.
Lukang was a seaport since ancient times. Therefore, it is not surprising that the main temple is dedicated not to Confucius or even to Buddha, but to the Chinese goddess of the sea — Matzu. However, she is not the only one here. The temple is filled with images of numerous Chinese gods and spirits. Literally, everyone will find his/her god patron here.
The Sun Moon Lake is one of the largest tourist centers of Taiwan.
The National Nature park of Alishan, occupies the territory of about 400 square kilometers, near the Yushan Mountain — the highest mountain top of the island.
Tainan — the fourth largest city of Taiwan, and one of the oldest in the country. In the second half of the 18th century, it was the capital of the Dongning State.
The City of Kaohsiung, with a population of about three million people — is the largest port and industrial commercial center of the southern part of Taiwan. It is rightly regarded as the southern capital of the country.
On the territory of the Chengqing Lake, there are several islands connected with the coast by bridges.
The travel around the Island of Taiwan is coming to an end in Kaohsiung. And the project World without Visas continues. Ahead are the new travels across the countries, visa-free for Russians.

Day Trip In Tamsui - Fort San Domingo - Little White House - Hobe Fort - Taiwan 2023
Tamsui District is a seaside district in New Taipei, Taiwan. It is named after the Tamsui River; the name means fresh water. The town is popular as a site for viewing the sun setting into the Taiwan Strait. Though modest in size it has a large role in Taiwanese culture.
The Spanish arrived in the area of Tamsui in the 17th century. In the fall of 1629, the Spanish established the first major non-aboriginal settlement comprising the town and mission of Santo Domingo. The Spanish occupied northern Taiwan for the purpose of securing Spanish interests in the Philippines against the Dutch (who were already established in the South of Taiwan by then), the British and the Portuguese, as well as for facilitating trade with China and Japan.
The area has been seen changes since then as well as being controlled by different empires.
Following the completion of the Taipei Metro's Tamsui Line in 1997, the town experienced a sharp increase in tourist traffic, reflected in the completion of several riverside parks, the growth of open air markets specializing in traditional handicrafts and street stall snacks, the construction of a fisherman's wharf, and the increase in passenger ferries traversing across and along the river.
There are many things to see in this wonderful area including the following.
Fort Santo Domingo is a historical fortress in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It was originally a wooden fort built in 1628 by the Spanish Empire, who named it Fort Santo Domingo. However, the fort was then destroyed by the Spanish themselves, after losing the Second Battle of San Salvador to the Dutch Empire in 1642. After the battle, in 1644, the Dutch rebuilt a fort on the original site and renamed it Fort Antonio.
The Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence. After Taiwan was forced to open foreign trade in early 1860s, foreigners soon came into the island. Qing Dynasty government soon established a customs office in Tamsui in 1870 after the opening of Tamsui Port. The residence is a white colored building built in a colonial style nicknamed Little White House.
Hobe Fort or Huwei Fort is a historical fort located near Fort Santo Domingo, in Tamsui District.
In the 1880s Imperial China (Qing dynasty) and France fought a war over an area that is today Vietnam. In October 1884 as part of the Keelung Campaign, the French fleet sailed to northern Taiwan where it blockaded the ports of Keelung and Tamsui, and then landed troops at both places. The Chinese managed to turn back the assault at Tamsui, though Keelung fell to the French. Following the war, the Chinese government decided to strengthen Taiwan's coastal defenses. Hobe Fort was finished in 1888 taking western forts as a reference in design. The fort never saw combat and it remains almost entirely intact.
The area is easy to access by the red BTS line and well worth a visit. There are many other things to see and do. A great day trip from the busy city to see another side of Taipei.
Enjoy the video!

Ibon Mobile Review ???????? - The Unknown Taiwanese SIM Card Nobody Talks About - Speedtest (統一超商電信)
Are you thinking of buying a (new) SIM card in Taiwan, but you are not sure which SIM card you should go for? Consider Ibon Mobile - Taiwan's unknown budget SIM card. In this review, I will go over everything you need to know about Ibon Mobile!
Ibon Mobile is one of the few MVNOs in Taiwan. They use the Far EasTone Network, also known as FET - (or 遠傳 in Chinese).
Surprisingly, Ibon Mobile has full access to the FET network, which resulted in me getting fantastic speeds with Ibon Mobile.
Moreover, prepaid data allowances are generous in Taiwan, so I managed to do 1300+ speed tests while in Taiwan, and saved the 105+ best ones with Ibon Mobile. The results will shock you.
