I Went To TAIWAN's Highest Road! Yoohoooo!
Hello Ji! Welcome to episode 2 of Taiwan series. In the last episode, you saw how we tried to conquer the mountains of Taiwan with an electric scooter. But due to the range of only 45 km, we had to return the scooter and buy a new petrol scooter with which we will go to the highest road of Taiwan in today's episode, which is at almost 11,000 feet. So let's start. We have changed the scooter.
We have come to a normal scooter. It looks good. This is Amaka. And a very big diggy, crazy big diggy. Do you want to see the diggy? I am happy to see the diggy. I don't know if the goods will come or not. Wow! Look at the diggy.
Everything will come in this. Best! Hello Ji! Hello Ji! Hello Ji! Good afternoon! And we have left the new scooter and gone back towards the mountains. So we don't have any plans right now. We are just going towards the mountains because there is only 4-4.5 hours of daylight left. And we have a problem that there is no network in our phone since yesterday.
Something happened. I bought a new e-sim in the morning. There is no network in that too. So I don't know, I don't understand what is going on even after buying two sims. Now the biggest problem was the maps because there was no internet. Now I had downloaded the offline map.
So now the offline map does not have a motorcycle mode. So you have to follow the car map which takes you from different highways. But you cannot take a scooter on the highways of Taiwan. Because of which it took an hour to get out of the city. And now we are going to the mountains again. Now we are going to higher mountains.
Right now it is a little risky. I mean, look, the mountains are a little small right now. Brother! What is this? A small, cute truck. My heart is lost in the mountains.
Photography is being done here. Now it looks like the area. Let's go from Jammu to Shinagar. The tunnel has come.
The tunnel has come. Yeah! We are going to the very high mountains. It's getting foggy.
Now it feels like we are going from Dimapur to Coimbatore. Actually, it feels very foggy. There was construction going on in the middle. Constructions don't always run on that road.
It felt a little foggy. Time to decide where to go. I had put it on the map as well. Eventually, we have to go towards the east and higher mountains. But there is a board saying Awanda Awanda.
But let's think about it first. Because there is a reservoir here. When we went with Taiwan Tourism, we came to know that there are 91 reservoirs here. Because there are very high mountains. And it is an island.
So all the water will obviously flow to the sea from all sides. So they have made a reservoir. They have made a very crazy reservoir.
It is 20 km. This is too much. Let's go ahead and see if we can find something. If not, we will come back. Because we have to go there eventually.
Which looks very promising. Wow! Looks very beautiful. The view is good. But there is a forest area there.
And there is no road ahead. So we cannot go back up. So we have to come the same way. So let's go back now.
Because we have limited daylight. And it will take an hour and a half to come back. So nothing will happen now. We have reached the town that was visible above. And the view was crazy from here.
There was a point to go to the lake. The view of the lake and the reservoir is very crazy from here. It is visible in between. Very... Wow!
Yoohoo! Let's go up and see. There must be something from the top. But it's okay. Let's stay in this city at night.
We have 2 hours now. Let's figure out the activity of 2 hours. Let's do a loop somewhere.
And this is looking good. It will be very beautiful in the morning. Oh man! The view is very crazy from here. Wow! We had gone till there. Can you see that mountain? We had gone till there.
We have come back up. But wow! It's so beautiful. Crazy beautiful. I think it's going to be very interesting in the next 2-3 days.
You will get to see a very dramatic landscape. And this is the view from the other side. I mean, what a view! What a view! If there was a little sunlight, I mean, there would have been sunlight on this mountain. This village is looking very good.
The area is looking very good. Crazy! Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi. So we had to stay in this cafe. First of all, the coffee is good.
On top of that, we really needed the internet. It's good that we stayed here. Because we had planned a crazy trail. First of all, we have to pump petrol on that trail. Secondly, when we reach there after dark, there are no special hotels there. And this area is very interesting.
There are a couple of things to do here. There is a place for tickets. Like skywalk and all that.
So I think for an hour, the best thing is that we don't go anywhere else. The thing to roam around here. Because this looks like the main tourist town of the mountains. So let's roam around here a little. Let's finish the coffee. Let's roam around here a little.
And let's stay here. And we will wake up early in the morning. And because we are already on top of the mountains. If there are no clouds, it can look good with a little sunrise. It's good.
Good decision. Don't go to Shimla. Don't go to Chamba.
Don't go to Shimla. Don't go to Chamba. There are cafes and caves everywhere. We can't see the view. It's a very epic view.
We can't understand this from outside. We had coffee at the best cafe. In terms of good coffee.
But the most scenic cafe is here. Look at this. Oh! Very nice.
Can you see? Wow! Beautiful. That lake is over there. And here is the city from where we are coming. But the problem is that there are so many trees that the proper view point is not coming. Oh! The city has come.
Oh! Disneyland is made in the city. Disneyland type place. Palm is closed at 5 pm. And it's 4.32 pm.
But the sheep. Whatever the translation was. It means that the sheep has gone home. Disappointment. Came very late. There is no one here.
But okay. Life is enjoy. But this road is crazy.
I mean what a beautiful road. Look at this. There is a Scottish vibe. I don't know if they have gone.
But you see. Look at this. Amazing. What a scenery bro. By the way, if you come to this Kinjing farm on time, you will get to see very beautiful views with the sheep. And this whole region comes in the most beautiful regions of Taiwan.
Just a few kilometers away from here is the highest road in Taiwan. But because it was dark, we took a hot spring hotel nearby. And got rid of the tiredness of the whole day with hot water. Hello.
Good morning. It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful life. Life is enjoy.
And we are somewhere in Taiwan. And we came here yesterday. The place with coffee. About 20 kilometers ahead of that.
Because there are very expensive hotels in the city. There were hotels for Rs. 6,000-8,000. So we got a hotel for Rs. 2800 here. But its location was so crazy. We were in a bad condition at night. Crazy.
Crazy, crazy, crazy. This was the right way. I don't know where we were coming from.
Bro. It's okay, okay, okay. I'll take, I'll take. Yeah.
Too steep. I can't come from here. Even I can't come from here. Thank you.
Xiexie. Good morning. What a beautiful day. And we came from here yesterday. This is a good road.
And we... One road goes straight. And it goes straight only 100 meters. And the second road goes around. So the second road has gone down from here. This has gone.
After crossing that bridge. It goes around 5-6 kilometers inside from there. And it's so crazy. And it's dark at night. So I'm in a bad condition. And I don't think any car goes there.
It was shown on Google Maps. So we saw it. And we literally had to go 100 meters away from here.
And after going around 5-6 kilometers from there. Passing through the mountains at the back. We came there. Even the uncle there was asking why we came from there. We just had to come this far. And I was shocked when we came in the morning.
And we booked the hotel there because there were hot springs. And this whole region is known for hot springs. We got to know this after coming here. And as they say, wherever you see hot water, you should take a bath. Only those people who want to look cool take a bath in cold water.
They say, bro, we take cold showers. But a real man takes a bath in hot water. There is no such thing as Japan here.
So anyways, we are standing here. Can you see? We are standing in the tea garden of Taiwan. And we came to know that this is the tea garden area. Because we met a Russian man in that hotel.
Who was from Moscow. I asked him, what are you doing here? He said, I have come here to collect tea leaves. I was in India before, in Dharamshala. I was collecting tea leaves from Kangra. So I said, okay.
It must be a hobby. But anyways, our plan for today is that we are going to the top of Taiwan. Like not literally. But the highest road here is around 3250 meters. I think it is around half an hour away from here. But because we don't normally do anything.
So we thought instead of going straight. The mountains that you can see. It looks quite crazy. Let's take a small detour in between them.
It is a 1.5 hour detour. Then we will show you the views there. After that, the highest point, the highest road of Taiwan. We also showed you the highest road of Japan. We will also show you the views from the highest road of Taiwan. Apparently, the highest road of Taiwan is way above the highest road of Japan.
The weather is so clear today. It is going to rain tomorrow as well. So let's try our best today. Beautiful mountains. Okay. Ideally, we have to take this road.
But we are taking this one. So I think this whole road is made for mining people. And that's why there are a lot of trucks here.
Are they making chips from here? They make chips in Taiwan. Not the ones you eat. The GPU ones. We don't know if we have to dig mountains to make chips or not.
Unfortunately, our adventure has come to an end. Because the road has been landslided. So the road is closed.
If we go from up here. It's okay. There is one more way. Now we are back on the same road.
If you can see the main road. It's at the top of that mountain. The village you can see. It's at the top of that mountain. So we thought we will join that road again. By doing 2-3 parallel trails.
But one is closed. Let's see further. There is one more place. I can see a suspension bridge. I can see the suspension bridge from here as well. It's quite close.
So let's go there and see. A small and lovely waterfall. But we didn't stop for the waterfall.
There is a sign next to the waterfall. Which is quite crazy. What is this bro? Bro. What is this? What is this? Alang to Ruku. Alang to Ruku.
Alang to Ruku. Alang to Ruku. What is this? I am not able to understand this. There must be 3 hands. There must be a heart of a demon. And there is a scene here.
The people of the village are looking different. And the language is also looking different. Turuku, Pelanin. It's looking like that. Indonesian Malay type. Maybe Philippines also.
Philippines is also close by. And the people are also like less Chinese. More from the Philippine side.
Or even Malaysian side. Indonesian side. Another waterfall.
Waterfalls and waterfalls. This is looking good. Can you see the name? The way these alphabets are written. It's quite similar to Indonesian. Incomplete Indonesian.
There is no TMGS in between. There will be at least one. This is Ayog type. Alang would be in Indonesia. Pinharung would also be in Indonesia. Busikdaya.
There are also such words there. But anyways, that's the waterfall. It's name is Ayog Tilak Turuku. It's quite high.
But it's okay. This is the village. But we have to bypass the village. Pelan, Turuku, Alang, Busik, Alang, Busikdaya, Huka, Busi.
And I also saw the origin word somewhere. So I think the original people here. After that, in the whole world, in all these years, everything got mixed up.
Very few aborigines are left in the world. Crazy road has come. Crazy road. There is no one anywhere.
The bridge has come. It seems to be a very dangerous bridge. Brother. And the way is showing that it has been crossed.
This is the way. It was an amazing steep. I couldn't climb the bridge in half the time.
It's okay now. Oh brother, I couldn't climb. But it's a good decision.
Always take the road less travelled. There will be potholes. But it will fill the potholes of your life. What did I say? Sometimes I say anything randomly. And sometimes I say it right. Scenery, scenery.
Crazy, crazy scenery everywhere. What's going on? Everything is going crazy. Very good. That's why you should take a random road on the mountains. Where you can see the mountains. Always take a random road.
Oh brother. What a scene. Crazy. Oh brother. It's a good scene of the mountains. Even if the road is bad.
But life is good. Finally, it's 12.45. And we have reached the highway. It's been a detour of 2.5-3 hours. And we are in the bathroom.
Very good performance. And we are starting to feel that we have reached a high altitude type. I just keep on loving. They're knocking on my door.
But I'm knocking them down. They say I'm acting crazy. But I just wanna lie in the sun.
We have reached 2600 meters. Which is like good altitude. It's a very beautiful road. Wow. It's like a cycle.
I don't know why I'm doing this. Why do I have to work so hard? It's easy to go slow. If there's a boring part, then go fast. Look how fast we're going.
At what speed are we going? We're going at the speed of 22. I can hear the autumn colors. I can also see the autumn colors. There's fog. Autumn is coming. High altitude is also coming.
This is craziness. The fog is increasing. By the way, there's a valley down here. It's a crazy valley. Which is not visible.
Thank God. Look what's going on. Craziness is going on. I didn't think that Taiwan would have such a crazy scene.
It's cold. Oh my God. The view point is here. What is this? The view has been going on since the whole day.
I can't see the view point. Oh my God. What is this? I just want to get fruits. I'm assuming because the valley on that side was crazy.
The valley on this side is even crazier. And from here, you can see a 270 degree view. There are mountains behind. So, you can see the view from here. Oh my God.
This is how they do it on Instagram. Oh wow. I can't see anything. The view point is also mentioned everywhere. There are crazy mountains there. But it's a pity.
I can't see anything. Don't fall. You have to fall on this side. Don't fall on that side. But it's okay.
All this keeps going on. It's the learning of our years of travel. We should embrace all this. But it's okay. Whatever it is, it's okay. Life is to be enjoyed.
Right? Isn't it? It didn't go well with us. We went to the highest road of Japan. Still, we couldn't see anything.
We went to the highest road of Taiwan. Still, we couldn't see anything. Last time, we came back the next day. We got the monkey matching.
This time, we didn't get it. So, it's not going well. It's cold too. I can't see anything.
If you see, it's a little clearer on the camera. Because there is a little wide angle too. Actually, there is lesser visibility. So, we have come.
We are on top of Taiwan. At least, where there is a car, a scooter can go. I mean, by walking, it's a little higher.
Right now, I think it's 3250 meters. And by walking, it's 3950 meters. Oh! I am out of breath. Welcome to the highest point of Taiwan. Where we can't see anything.
Look ahead. Beautiful views. Oh my God! It's a 360 degree view from here. And 360 degree, I can't see anything. 3275 It can be a thumbnail.
But no. I went to the highest road of Taiwan. Yoohoo! Oh! You could have put a sticker here. We have a sticker. But we don't want to come back.
After climbing up. So, this is Heiwan Peak. 3421 meters. Kaluwalu Siali Silai Ningao Yushan Silai I think this is the highest peak. 3952 But till now, So, unfortunately, there is not much we can do.
But it's okay, this keeps going on. It is the effort that counts. I'm feeling even colder. This jacket doesn't have anything. It's very thin. I bought this from Kyrgyzstan for Rs. 500.
But it's working very well. Wow! There is one more jacket. You can see, it will be of good use. But unfortunately, nothing is visible. What did I get? Machinery coffee.
Machinery nuggets. I can see a little. This is quite visible. This was not visible. Look at this. A lot is visible here.
Nice! Are there any pictures? I don't think so. There must be a picture somewhere. It doesn't look easy at all. There is battery shopping here. Crazy! But it's not of Gogoro. It's of Ionax.
So, it could have come up to here. This landscape looks good. There is some interesting activity here. There is a machine for souvenir coins.
Choose the picture first, then insert coin. There must be a photo among these 4. Select. Put 3 coins out of 10.
Take the bird. We have taken the bird. Okay.
Insert coins and rotate the acceptor for 360 degrees. It has come. It has come. Something has come. We have taken souvenir from Taiwan.
It's cold. Has it rained? Oh! The situation has worsened a lot. I should have worn a jacket. If I don't wear it now, when will I wear it? It's cold.
A very important trail has come. This goes back towards the mountains. From a different route. And this goes towards the east coast. We had thought that if we reach here on time, then we will go back towards the mountains. And in the evening, we will go towards the east coast.
But, seeing the mood of the weather, I think it is better to get down. Let's go back to the mountains. This is the whole area.
We took a right from there. But no one else was taking a right. And we don't think anyone is taking the way towards the east. The main city is all in the west. So all the people must be coming from the west to the center. So there is no point in taking the east road.
We have read about it. And we already knew about it. In April, there was an earthquake here. So it was written there that we have to enter the national park until absolutely necessary. But this is the entire Torako National Park. And we don't think any vehicle is coming here at this time.
The road is not closed. The road is open. And there was a lot of damage due to the earthquake.
As I told you, there are mountains in the middle of Taiwan. And the mountains are very high. So when the earthquake came, two roads were connecting Taiwan from west to east. They are connected from the top and the bottom.
But two roads are connecting from the middle of the mountains. One of them is still closed. The other one is still open.
I think it is still closed. There is no one here. No one is here. No vehicles are coming.
There is no one here. The weather is quite landslide today. It's a new system. The road is closed. There is a police station here.
The police said it will open at 4 pm. And now it is 2.30 pm. So there was no point in hurrying. We could have sat a little higher.
We will have to wait for 1.5 hours. But the good thing is that there is Wi-Fi in the police station. That's why no one comes here. There is a car guy and a bike guy. And this is the police station.
Let me show you the bike. The bike is crazy. It's a good scene. We had to buy a motorcycle instead of a scooter.
The scooter is good. It looks good. Wow. While we wait for the road to open, let's take you to Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. We didn't get to see the views from the highest road in Taiwan.
But let's see the views from the highest building in Taiwan, which was once the tallest building in the world. Welcome to Taipei 101. We had booked for 11.40 pm. It's 11.40 pm. Can you see the time? It's already 11.40 pm. Why are you so late? It's in our nature.
Taiwan's Clint Eastwood. Very sad. He has never seen so many indisciplined people in his life. All the expensive brands have this kind of lighting. White and golden. So you shouldn't go to such places.
This is what you get at the airport. Look at this. I bought this for Rs.700. So we are at Taipei 101, which is the highest building, the tallest tower of the world at one time. It's number 11 now.
There's so much content being made here, you can't understand. I'm making the content here. Uncle will buy us a ticket from here. The ticket is expensive.
It's Rs.600 x Rs.1500. It's Rs.1500. Hello brother. Brother, it's almost 3 pm. We are going to leave brother.
We will start the video from tomorrow. This is the flashback of the video. We are at N-1 day. And we have been here for N-5 days.
Look at the content. Content. Content. This is not working.
Look at this. Look at this. Influencer. Stay like this. Do it again. You do it.
We have a Thakur with us. The Thakur of the TV world. Where are you going? She won't be able to hold your hand. Oh my God.
She held your hand like this. She did it. This is the 5th floor. To 89th floor. Takes only 37 seconds.
Most fastest elevator in the world. Guys, this is the most fastest elevator. Don't repeat what I am saying. You can see. Content is being made here.
The fastest content will be made on the fastest elevator. 87th floor. Take 37 seconds.
30 seconds. Oh my God. It's up in the stars. Oh my ears. Everyone's phone is like this. Are your ears okay? Yes.
We will show you the observation deck later. But we have got a special VIP arrangement. Because we are content creators. And we are being taken to the roof. So let's see.
Special arrangements have been made. For private content creators. Okay guys. We all got the VIP feeling.
Why guys? Because this is only for VIP and President. Thank you to Francis and Anisha. Thank you. We are now 410 meters above the ground.
410. There is more lift. One guy I think is downstairs. Who has your ticket? Someone has 2 tickets here.
One guy. Mohit bhai is missing. This area is specially decorated and arranged for YouTubers. Okay.
They have made it more interesting inside. So that people don't look outside. I don't know what you are doing.
This area is for VIP and President. But I think this is for Instagram. This place is decorated for Instagram.
Taipei 101 is obviously a very iconic place. But you come here to see this. And not this.
This is the same book. Girls are sitting and taking pictures. Now tell me. This photo can be in your room too.
I can't even see what's behind this. Because they have written there. And obviously there will be more highlights from behind. So it is very strange. Finally we have reached the main tourist observation desk. I think that's the same.
I think you can pay a little more and go up with an appointment. It's a little disappointing that the observation deck is covered in feathers. I mean, the observation deck has become too sweet. It shouldn't be this sweet.
Because you come for the views, but then... More than the views, you are involved in all this. Photography activity.
We are quite high up. Oh my God! Very, very high. It opened at exactly 4 o'clock. And the weather is getting worse, guys. I met a guy who could speak Hindi. He was from Kabul.
He was with his Taiwanese friend. He lives here in Dubai. He runs a truck business. He was saying that there will be another gate ahead. This was one gate.
There will be another gate ahead. And you have to reach there in an hour. Otherwise, that gate will close. I said, we have to go fast. He said, we have to go fast. I said, how can we go fast? It's getting cold. It's raining.
And it's not safe either. I mean, it's quite unsafe after the earthquake. That's why it's closed. You can't see anything. You can't even see the money. It's very cold, guys.
Crazy, crazy, crazy cold. Now, this is one of the most beautiful roads in Taiwan. But because you reach the sea level in just 2 hours from 11,000 feet, it means that the landscape changes drastically. Now, we didn't see much because of the bad weather. But it got dark in the middle of the road.
And because of the rain, the road was so slippery that our scooty slipped in a tunnel. And along with the scooty, we also got some scratches. Thankfully, the speed was quite low. So, we didn't get much hurt.
Nothing was broken on the scooty either. But we will know the real damage only when we reach the rental shop. Which we will tell you in the next episode. In which we will take a tour of the entire east coast of Taiwan. And after the mountains, we will show you some beautiful views of the sea. Life is enjoy.
Google map showed us some other route. We took a taxi to go to the hotel. And we got carried away in the taxi.
