EP29 Taitung Taitung City | Rescued by a Princess

Episode twenty-nine arrives in Taitung City — the unhurried capital of eastern Taiwan, where a former railway yard has become an arts village full of murals and studios, and a chain of coastal lagoons has been turned into a sprawling forest park of boardwalks and herons. Over bowls of dark, warming Beinan pig blood soup and stretchy handmade Chen Family mochi, we hear the story of Princess Baihuaxiu — the most quietly determined person in the entire novel — who kept her father's letters for thirteen years, waiting for a monk to come from the east and save her kingdom. When Tang Monk finally arrives, she acts immediately. The rescue, however, is only the beginning.Location: Taitung CityFood: Beinan Pig Blood Soup | Chen Family Mochi
