EP47 Tainan Zhongxi District | The Tongtian River Children

Episode 47 rolls into Tainan — Taiwan's oldest city and its food capital. We park at Chihkan Tower, a Dutch fort built in 1653 that now sits quietly among noodle stalls and temples in the old city centre. Over beef soup ladled at six in the morning, chewy bowl cake, and a bowl of danzai noodles that has been made the same way for over a hundred years, we follow the pilgrims to a river eight hundred miles across, a monster that demands a child every year, and Sun Wukong and Pigsy pretending to be the sacrifice.Location: Zhongxi DistrictFood: Beef Soup | Bowl Cake | Danzai Noodles
