EP01 Taipei Xinyi District | The Monkey from the Rock

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Welcome to Local Guys in Taiwan: Journey to the West — where three friends road-trip Taiwan, eating street food while listening to the story of the Monkey King. In our very first stop, we park near Sisi Nancun, a 70-year-old veterans' village that sits in the shadow of Taipei 101. Over bowls of rice noodle soup and crispy stinky tofu from the nearby Tonghua night market, we hear how a stone monkey was born from a rock, became king of all monkeys, and sailed across the sea to find his name.Location: Xinyi DistrictFood: Rice Noodle Soup | Stinky Tofu
