EP38 Pingtung Pingtung City | The True and False King

Episode thirty-eight brings us to Pingtung City — home of Shengli Star Village, one of Taiwan's most complete veterans' village communities where Japanese-era military housing became home to Nationalist soldiers and their families after 1949. The quiet lanes, old trees, and single-storey houses hold seventy years of stories. At the Pingtung Night Market, black sugar mochi and savoury meat rice cake fuel us through Chapter 38 of Journey to the West: Sun Wukong turns himself into the murdered king, walks into the demon's throne room, and exposes the impostor in front of the entire court. Then comes the harder part: the real king has been dead for three years at the bottom of a well.Location: Pingtung CityFood: Black Sugar Mochi | Meat Rice Cake
