If your first thought when seeing this landscape is Avatar, we’re right there with you. Zhangjiajie is the first official national park in China after gaining recognition in the 1980s. Famous for its pillar-like rock formations and abundant flora, the park has featured in many ancient Chinese paintings.

The 3 Most Beautiful Towns in Turkey (save for your next trip)
✅ Göreme
The town of Göreme lies in the region of Cappadocia, a region famous for its fantastical rock formations, with hundreds of astonishing rock “fairy chimneys” rising from the ground and interspersed with the villages and houses. Göreme is also known for its incredible hot air balloon rides which give tourists a spectacular view of the landscape!
✅ Safranbolu
This town is best known for its extraordinary historical sites and well-preserved houses. Safranbolu's traditional Ottoman-style houses are immediately recognizable by their tall, wide, half-timbered façades, charming shuttered windows and tiled roofs. These remain some of the best-preserved examples of Ottoman architecture in the country!
✅ Amasya
Located in northern Turkey, the small city of Amasya is dramatically situated in a narrow valley on the banks of the Yeşilırmak river, against a backdrop of rocky mountains. The town is filled with beautiful Ottoman-style houses and antique bridges.

Today I’m talking with Julien Gaudfroy, who in my opinion has a pretty strong claim to having quite possibly the best Chinese of any foreigner ever. He has been a host on Chinese radio and television for many years now, has acted in Chinese movies, and has also been a performer of Chinese crosstalk comedy xiangsheng which is known for being extremely difficult linguistically. And on a personal level I’ve been jealous of his Chinese for at least a decade now! During this interview we spoke together in Chinese and English about how his Chinese got so good, what was his xiangsheng (Chinese crosstalk) training like, how that impacted his Chinese abilities, his experience in the Chinese media world, Dashan (Mark Roswell), and his training as a classical musician.

One of the premier destinations in northern Taiwan, Yehliu Geopark is home to a number of unique geological formations including the iconic "Queen's Head" (女王頭), and is located along a cape stretching out from the town of Wanli
Yehliu Geopark is famous for its sea-erosion landscape, while most of the spots are very close to the sea.
Found in the middle of nowhere, outside of Kaohsiung lies an old temple surrounded by mystery and known by nobody!
Here is the epic finale of our Kaohsiung Adventure Vlog series! I really hope you have enjoyed this Taiwan travel vlog series. It was such an unbelievable adventure, exploring and travelling through Kaohsiung. I would love to know your thoughts on the adventure vlogs and where you would like to see me go on my next adventure?
In this final Taiwan adventure we continued our journey from Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum travelling to Qishan village.
Qishan Village is famous for Banana made products including the tastiest Banana Bread in Taiwan!
We explored Qishan Old Street to find great local Taiwan street food stalls and of course to try the famous Banana Bread!
After having great Taiwanese dishes and local Taiwanese noodles we took a drive up the mountain over looking Qishan to Qishan Confucius Temple.
Here in this beautiful mountain temple you could see the vast Taiwan landscape beyond. This temple is a great Taiwan hike location and for those travelers looking for a hidden gem this place is perfect. The Taiwan temple is completely empty with no tourists, you can experience this unbelievable nature of Taiwan all to yourself.
After taking in the beautiful view from the temple we drove through the country side of Taiwan to Tianliao Moon World.
The landscape at the Moon World Taiwan nature park is something from another planet. It is a great place to have a walking tour and see the unique mountains of Taiwan.
Exploring around the nature park was awesome and it is a must visit location in Taiwan for nature lovers.
After the Moon world tour we traveled to the most insane temple I have ever seen in my life.
Tianliao Stone temple is the most unique temple I have ever seen and perhaps the best hidden gem in Taiwan. It is a must for those wanting to travel off the beaten path and discover the secrets of Taiwan. I could not believe that this Stone temple was built with no plan and no budget. The area around the temple and the Taiwan stone Temple itself is magical and if you want things to do in Taiwan, then this must be top on your list to see.
Finally after seeing this Kaohsiung hidden gem we traveled to a mountain temple high above Kaohsiung in the mountains surrounding Kaohsiung city.
Here looking out towards Kaohsiung it was the perfect place to reflect on our Taiwan travel tour and the crazy adventure we had had in Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung blew my mind, in the city there is great street food and out of it there are unbelievable hidden gems and secret travel locations.
It is on my list for must visit cities in Taiwan and recommend to all travelers looking to have an adventure!
Thank you so much for watching this Kaohsiung adventure series, I really hope you enjoyed these Taiwan travel vlogs and hope it can be a good travel guide for those wanting to travel and experience Taiwan in a different way, away from the crowds.
See you in the next travel adventure!
