EP27 Taitung Chishang Township / Guanshan Town | The White Bone Demon

Episode twenty-seven takes us across the county border into Taitung — to Chishang and Guanshan, where the East Rift Valley opens into a patchwork of emerald-green rice paddies stretching from mountain range to mountain range. We ride bicycles along Brown Avenue, the famous unpaved road with not a single telephone pole in sight, and climb to the Luye Plateau for a view of the whole valley. Over hearty Guanshan lunchbox dishes and refreshing Chishang rice ice cream, we hear one of the most controversial chapters in all of Journey to the West — the White Bone Demon, who fools everyone except Sun Wukong, and who ultimately succeeds not by fighting, but by making Tang Monk believe Sun Wukong is the real monster.Location: Chishang TownshipFood: Guanshan Lunchbox Dishes | Chishang Rice Ice Cream
