EP11 New Taipei Jiufen | Emperor Visits the Underworld

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. Today we wind up a narrow mountain road to Jiufen Old Street — lanterns glowing in the mist, old stone steps dropping into the sea fog — and hear one of the strangest chapters in the book: the Emperor of China dies, takes a tour of the underworld, borrows twenty more years from the judges of the dead, and comes back to life owing a very large favour.Location: JiufenFood: Taro Balls | Grass Jelly Cake
