EP02 Taipei Wanhua District | The 72 Transformations

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

In episode two we park near Longshan Temple in Wanhua — the oldest neighbourhood in Taipei, and home to a three-hundred-year-old temple that has survived earthquakes, bombs, and everything history could throw at it. Over a bowl of oyster vermicelli and a stick of pig blood cake, we follow Sun Wukong through seven years of sweeping floors, one night of secret lessons, and the day the master finally says: "Go home."Location: Wanhua DistrictFood: Oyster Vermicelli | Pig Blood Cake
