hey guys it's Iris so we're here at Taoyuan and this is one of the smallest touristy town in Taiwan
it's actually ranked top 10 in Taiwan smallest touristy town and this is Daxi
it actually came from Japanese I think it literally translate into big creek
or big river and here you can obviously see why because the creek
the river it's so beautiful and honestly I never knew there were such places in Taiwan
the bridge is just beautiful and it's got this Baroque style
I think Baroque style arch way oh my god I think I'm completely missing out here
thank you

this is really a full package experience because here you got all the old streets
where they sell tons of food honestly there's all kinds of varieties of food
It will fill your stomach for sure and there's also temple
this is a really nice-looking temples and this what I'm eating is actually I think peanut grounded
peanuts with some kind of dough and honestly this is my childhood favorite
it's called Muahlal
so good
famous stinky tofu that you only get in these kind of old town and honestly
I haven't had this and it sure smells stinky
and did you know that Daxi is actually known for the production of dried tofu and
here it is apparently it's organic and I guess free from any sort of artificial colors
this woodwork museum is definitely worth the visit
it's only a couple minutes away from the old Street and this this museum
right here has a huge collection in elaboration of the history of Daxii and
how it comes to be the way it is today by the influence of Japanese
I think Netherland people had a history with us in the past and it's just so
incredible to see all these miniatures illustration of how the houses are it
it's got courtyard and in the front is four opening stores at the back is for
the residential purposes and when you step into the museum you can't help but
feel a sense of calmness washed over you
being only an hour drive away from the city of Taipei I think Taoyuan here has
got something truly special that we can't really experience if we only stay in Taipei
