EP07 Taipei Datong District | The Immortal Furnace

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Sun Wukong has been locked in Laozi's Eight-Trigram Furnace for forty-nine days. Heaven is holding its breath. In this episode we walk the century-old trading street of Dihua, eat sticky tube rice pudding from a shop that's been there for generations, taste sweet preserved plums from an old spice merchant — and watch as the monkey walks out of the furnace, smashes the Jade Emperor's throne room, and then meets the one being in all of creation he cannot defeat.Location: Datong DistrictFood: Tube Rice Pudding | Preserved Snacks
