Jordan and Emily introduce a compilation of their ten days traveling through Taiwan, from Kaohsiung in the south to Taipei in the north. In Kaohsiung they work out local transport, try beef noodles and shaved ice, ride the electric tram, visit Lotus Pond and the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas, and explore the Pier 2 area. They find that a bus payment method they expected to work did not, and later discover an attraction they planned to visit was closed despite the opening time shown in their initial search. They recommend checking recent reviews for current opening information. The creators describe the city as spread out and say buses would have made some trips easier. They take a high-speed train north after realizing they had not redeemed the correct reservation; they are able to board a non-reserved train and find seats by lining up early. On board they describe the trip as about two hours and seventeen minutes, note the train has toilets and Wi-Fi, and recommend bringing food if traveling over a meal because they see drinks in the vending machine but no food for sale. In Taipei they visit a night market, try local breakfast and snacks, and go to the Memorial Hall, Taipei 101, Elephant Hill and Jiufen. Weather changes some of their plans. The video shares their travel experiences and opinions, not current transport or attraction policies.
