In Fenqihu, Taiwan, the town's history is rooted in trains and the logging industry. The town is known for its food, including delicious donuts and rice cakes. They also have famous Bento boxes, which were traditionally eaten by loggers passing through. The town is picturesque, with 7-Elevens, alleyways, and ponds to explore. We hiked along the Logger's Trail, a historic path used for hauling lumber. The trail was filled with stairs (so many stairs!) and led to a beautiful bamboo grove. Train cakes were one of the most unique things we ate while in Fenqihu!

When I researched 7-Eleven in Alishan, it seems that there are three. Each elevation is 2050m, 2178m and 2200m. Looking at old information, the altitude of the highest 7-Eleven in Taiwan was 2050m. On the website dated 2022, it was written that the 7-Eleven at an altitude of 2200m is the highest in Taiwan. Yesterday (June 4th), I saw a YouTube video called "Currently Hannah". Hannah is Australian and lives in Japan. She recently went to Taiwan. I watched her latest video (Taiwan's Most Beautiful Hike - Jiaming Lake) and was blown away by the beautiful scenery. As she said in the video, Taiwan is about the same size as Kyushu and has 268 mountains over 3000m (Japan only has 21!). Also, Japan's highest mountain is Mount Fuji (3776m), while Taiwan's highest mountain is Yushan at 3952m! I think that the charm of Taiwan is not only the delicious food, but also the wonderful nature.

The 2nd tour of donut, not committing the same mistake: buy 2! - that made me burst of laught 🤣
-
oh how appropriate, it’s national donut day today ❤🍩🍩❤️
-
Hi friends, you had a nice trip !
-
Looks like a great donut, 🍩 I will visit there next time I go back to Taiwan.
-
Love Fenqihu! One of my favorite places in Taiwan. I've been eating those donuts for years. There's a place called Fenqihu Old Street down the hill a ways that serves great locally grown coffee. Glad you enjoyed!
-
看了你們很多集影片，發現兩位到台灣的任何ㄧ個景點，真的都很專業的用鏡頭帶領視頻觀眾，走到景點的任一個角落，不放過任何一個美麗的美景，毅力真令人覺得佩服❤！
-
@15:31 "OK+150"? That's the roadside mileage tag to show you how far from the beginning (or the end) of the trail to the current position. You've finished the first zero kilometer plus 150 meters. Way to go!
-
The railway bento you eat at Fenchihu can also be bought in the train station hall in Taipei, and the taste is the same.
-
I like your in-depth way of traveling Taiwan such as FENQIHU. This is the right way to discover the beauty of Taiwan. Didn't you find that there were no other western tourists while you were strolling at FENQIHU? You were maybe the only western couple at that day. There are a lot of places like FENQIHU for tourists to find out. This is why you can come back to Taiwan again and again and each time you will still find something amazing!😀

Love your Taiwan series! ❤

從奮起湖進去來吉部落那邊很漂亮也很值得去 來吉附近還有另一個部落 得恩亞納 是台版的合掌村 也是很推薦的行程❤
-
初看這影這影片 , 我以為是NGC or Discovery channel , too good !!!
-
很美 很寧靜的小村莊 看的出來你們很喜歡這裡 慢活的一天～
-
You done it again !! Great video !!
-
Great videos! I will for sure visit Taiwan again!
-
Great video! I also enjoy Heather's detailed descriptions of what you saw and how you felt on the hike; especially about the foods you tasted. You are bringing us along on your journey! Also, I like that you took the time to enjoy each site you visited, as opposed to just rushing through it. I think you will be a great travel show host! Now I also want to go to Fenqihu! I have never been there myself and I am from Taiwan! Now it's on my list to visit!

The jelly in the drink comes from the seed of a plant (if you rub the seed, some gelatin is released) and the boba thing is the seed of another plant.
