EP52 Tainan Houbi / Baihe area | Laozi Reclaims His Ox

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Episode 52 takes us to the north Tainan countryside — to Houbi and Baihe, where Guanziling Hot Springs offers one of only a handful of mud hot springs in the entire world. The grey, silky mud water coats your skin and the surrounding hills are dotted with temples and old resort inns. Over Guanziling hot spring eggs with amber yolks and hearty Houbi harvest rice, we untangle Chapter 52 — the follow-up to the green ox arc, where Sun Wukong realizes the magic circle is still a problem and the Buddha quietly points him in the right direction.Location: Chiayi CityFood: Turkey Rice | Square Cookies
