EP79 Hsinchu County | Save the Children

Episode 79 climbs deep into the mountains of Hsinchu's Wufeng Township — up to the Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area, where clouds drift through cypress forests at two thousand metres elevation and the air tastes sweet with phytoncide. Over indigenous bamboo rice roasted in fresh-cut bamboo tubes and fragrant maqaw (mountain pepper) sausage, we watch the Biqiu Kingdom arc reach its resolution: the white deer demon is finally defeated, but not by Sun Wukong — by the very deity who owned her. And eleven hundred children go home to their families.Location: Wufeng Township, HsinchuFood: Indigenous Bamboo Rice | Maqaw Sausage
