⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking Taipei, Taiwan : Wanhua District (December 16, 2019)
A walk through the Wanhua District of Taipei, Taiwan.
From Wikipedia:
Wanhua District, known in Taiwanese Hokkien as Báng-kah khu and historically as Monga or Monka, is a district in Taipei, Taiwan. It is Taipei's oldest district. The district is home to historic buildings such as the Bangka Lungshan Temple, an iconic historic temple, and the Red House Theater, the first and largest teahouse and playhouse in Taiwan. Taipei's oldest, but decaying, garment district is also here.
As Wanhua District was Taipei's first district to undergo economic development, there are many old buildings and cultural sites. The large number of temples in this area is attributed to its prosperous past originating from the Qing era. The district can be divided into three sections: northern, central, and southern. The northern area, including Ximending, has become home to many shopping centers and is popular among the younger generation. Central Wanhua is known for its historical sites like Lungshan Temple, Qingshui Temple, Qing Shan Gong and Bopiliao Historic Street; traditional shopping; and local snacks. Southern Wanhua is mainly a residential area with a wide city park, also known as the Youth Park.
Wanhua District is divided up into 36 villages (里) and 722 neighborhoods (鄰). In recent years, the population in the district has been in decline. The district also has an older and fatter population than those of other districts. It also has a higher concentration of Mainland Chinese. Nevertheless, this district continues to be treasured by many as it is representative of some of Taipei's richest historical cultures. An example would be the annual temple rituals held at Qing Shan Gong, also known as the Qing Shan King Sacrificial Ceremony. This is a massive event that involves touring Wanhua for 3 consecutive nights.

Confucius Temple in Changhua town, Western Taiwan
presents: The Confucius Temple at Changhua was constructed by county magistrate Chang Kao in 1726, in the Ching dynasty. Its present appearance was attributed to a radical renovation in Tao-kuang 10 (1830). This temple undoubtedly is a very important symbol of central Taiwan's cultural development.
Palace Museum / The Forbidden City 故宫博物院 / 紧禁城 Video #1 Beijing Cultural Heritage Site
National Palace Museum aka The Forbidden City 故宫博物院 Video #1
Equipment: GoPro7 Black
Traditionally, the Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The Outer Court (外朝) or Front Court (前朝) includes the southern sections, and was used for ceremonial purposes. The Inner Court (内廷) or Back Palace (后宫) includes the northern sections, and was the residence of the Emperor and his family, and was used for day-to-day affairs of state. (The approximate dividing line shown as red dash in the plan above.) Generally, the Forbidden City has three vertical axes. The most important buildings are situated on the central north–south axis.
Entering from the Meridian Gate, one encounters a large square, pierced by the meandering Inner Golden Water River, which is crossed by five bridges. Beyond the square stands the Gate of Supreme Harmony (F). Behind that is the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square.[43] A three-tiered white marble terrace rises from this square. Three halls stand on top of this terrace, the focus of the palace complex. From the south, these are the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿), the Hall of Central Harmony (中和殿), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony (保和殿).
The Hall of Supreme Harmony (G) is the largest, and rises some 30 metres (98 ft) above the level of the surrounding square. It is the ceremonial centre of imperial power, and the largest surviving wooden structure in China. It is nine bays wide and five bays deep, the numbers 9 and 5 being symbolically connected to the majesty of the Emperor.[45] Set into the ceiling at the centre of the hall is an intricate caisson decorated with a coiled dragon, from the mouth of which issues a chandelier-like set of metal balls, called the Xuanyuan Mirror. In the Ming dynasty, the Emperor held court here to discuss affairs of state. During the Qing dynasty, as Emperors held court far more frequently, a less ceremonious location was used instead, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was only used for ceremonial purposes, such as coronations, investitures, and imperial weddings.
The Hall of Central Harmony is a smaller, square hall, used by the Emperor to prepare and rest before and during ceremonies.[48] Behind it, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, was used for rehearsing ceremonies, and was also the site of the final stage of the Imperial examination.[49] All three halls feature imperial thrones, the largest and most elaborate one being that in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
At the centre of the ramps leading up to the terraces from the northern and southern sides are ceremonial ramps, part of the Imperial Way, featuring elaborate and symbolic bas-relief carvings. The northern ramp, behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony, is carved from a single piece of stone 16.57 metres (54.4 ft) long, 3.07 metres (10.1 ft) wide, and 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) thick. It weighs some 200 tonnes and is the largest such carving in China.The southern ramp, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is even longer, but is made from two stone slabs joined together – the joint was ingeniously hidden using overlapping bas-relief carvings, and was only discovered when weathering widened the gap in the 20th century.
In the south west and south east of the Outer Court are the halls of Military Eminence (H) and Literary Glory (J). The former was used at various times for the Emperor to receive ministers and hold court, and later housed the Palace's own printing house. The latter was used for ceremonial lectures by highly regarded Confucian scholars, and later became the office of the Grand Secretariat. A copy of the Siku Quanshu was stored there. To the north-east are the Southern Three Places (南三所) (K), which was the residence of the Crown Prince.[43]
Back Three Palaces
At the centre of the Inner Court is another set of three halls (L). From the south, these are:
* Palace of Heavenly Purity (乾清宮)
* Hall of Union
* Palace of Earthly Tranquility
Western Six Palaces
* Palace of Eternal Longevity (永寿宫)
* Hall of the Supreme Principle (太极殿)
* Palace of Eternal Spring (长春宫)
* Palace of Earthly Honour (翊坤宫)
* Palace of Gathering Elegance (储秀宫)
* Palace of Universal Happiness (咸福宫)
* Palace of Benevolence Tranquility (慈宁宮 )
*
Eastern Six Palaces
* Palace of Great Benevolence (景仁宫)
* Palace of Heavenly Grace (承乾宫)
* Palace of Accumulated Purity (锺粹宫)
* Palace of Prolonged Happiness (延禧宫)
* Palace of Great Brilliance (景阳宫)
* Palace of Eternal Harmony (永和宫)

While I constantly try to find the positives in every place I visit, there are few places that I just simply didn't enjoy.
The country of Brunei is one of them.
I went to Brunei back in 2014, three years before I made videos, but my negative experiences in the country have stuck in my mind ever since. That, combined with its absurd human rights laws such as stoning to death LGBT members, I was pushed to make this video.
Have you ever visited any countries that you didn't enjoy? Please share below, I'm curious to know.

Beijing 4K - Walk around the Tian’anmen - China 中国北京天安门元宵节行走视频
The Tiananmen or Tian'anmen, or the Gate of Heavenly Peace, is a monumental gate in the centre of Beijing, widely used as a national symbol of China. First built during the Ming dynasty in 1420, Tiananmen was the entrance to the Imperial City, within which the Forbidden City was located. Tiananmen is located to the north of Tiananmen Square, separated from the plaza by Chang'an Avenue.
The building is 66 metres (217 ft) long, 37 metres (121 ft) wide and 32 metres (105 ft) high. Like other official buildings of the empire, the gate has unique imperial roof decorations.
In front of the gate are two lions standing in front of the gate and two more guarding the bridges. In Chinese culture, lions are believed to protect humans from evil spirits.
Two stone columns, called huabiao, each with an animal (hou) on top of it, also stand in front of the gate. Originally, these installations were designed for commoners to address their grievances by writing or sticking up petitions on the columns. However, the examples in front of the Imperial City were purely decorative and instead connoted the majesty of the imperial government.
The western and eastern walls have giant placards; the left one reads Long Live the People's Republic of China, while the right one reads Long Live the Great Unity of the World's Peoples. The right placard used to read Long Live the Central People's Government for the founding ceremony of the PRC, but after the ceremony it was changed to Long Live the Great Unity of the World's Peoples. Both placards were changed to use simplified Chinese instead of traditional Chinese characters in 1964. The phrasing has significant symbolic meaning, as the phrase used for long live, like the Imperial City itself, was traditionally reserved for Emperors of China, but is now available to the common people.
The reviewing stands in the foreground are used on International Workers Day (May Day) and on the National Day (October 1) of the People's Republic of China.
In front of the stands is the Imperial City's moat, still filled with water but now containing decorative illuminated fountains.
In ancient times, the Tiananmen was among the most important gates encountered when entering Beijing's Imperial City along with the Qianmen, the Gate of China. Proceeding further inward, the next gate is the 'Upright Gate', identical in design to the Tian'anmen; behind it is the southern entrance of the Forbidden City itself, known as the Meridian Gate.
Because of the gate's position at the front of the Imperial City, and historical events that have taken place on Tiananmen Square, the gate has great political significance. In 1925, when China was ruled by the Nationalist government, a large portrait of Sun Yat-sen was hung at the gate after his death. In 1945, to celebrate the victory over Japan, Chiang Kai-shek's portrait was hung.
On July 7, 1949, pictures of Zhu De and Mao Zedong were hung to commemorate the Second Sino-Japanese War. Since then, from the founding date of the People's Republic of China, a portrait of Mao has been hung at the square on October 1. Each year the old portrait is replaced before October 1, the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, on certain occasions the picture has been different. For example, on March 9, 1953, a picture of Joseph Stalin was put up due to his death.
In 2011 Alexander Pann Han-tang, chairman of the Asia Pacific Taiwan Federation of Industry and Commerce, and a close friend of Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou, proposed that the picture of Sun Yat-sen be displayed at Tiananmen Square instead for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China.[7] However this proposal was rejected.

Taiwan - The Heart Of Asia Timelapse
Taiwan – The Heart Of Asia is my best work. After 5 timelapse from different cities around the world, I try to catch one country in a movie. I explore Taiwan over 3 weeks in November 2017 and stay in 4 big cities (Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung), switch 9 times my hotel, create 99 timelapse with over 21000 images, 137GB in around 24 hours recording time.
After several hours video editing I present my masterpiece.
Taiwan himself is a great place to travel. Not so common for western tourist, but well developed for individual tourist, pretty cheap, super save, clean and with fantastic food, landscapes and people.

Chinese travel company promotes Taiwan tours that exclude DPP-controlled districts to criticism
The DPP mayor of Taoyuan, Cheng Wen-tsan, has accused a group of eight local leaders who are KMT members or independents close to the KMT of manipulation after the PRC’s Taiwan Affairs Office in a gesture of goodwill arranged for six-day visits from Chinese tourists to their Taiwanese towns and counties. However, the KMT mayor of New Taipei City Eric Chu denied that the new travel packages, a result of the local leaders’ recent visit to China, would divide society. Instead, Chu said, the trip opened a new window of cross-strait contact. Recently a group of eight local leaders belonging to the KMT or close to the KMT made a trip to China, in hopes of obtaining tourism deals. After this, the China International Travel Service, believed to be close to the PRC government, immediately released six-day package tours to time with National Day celebrations. The itinerary includes tours of Hualien, New Taipei City, Nantou and Hsinchu, none of which are controlled by the DPP. This has been read as a deliberate attempt from China to divide Taiwanese society. Cheng Wen-tsanTaoyuan Mayor Travelling in Taiwan should include experiencing the diversity of Taiwanese culture and different cities. I believe this will only be a temporary phenomenon. This kind of excessive manipulation will not be good for our future. Eric ChuNew Taipei City MayorThis is not just about the eight cities and counties. What is most important is that we hope mainland tourists can continue to come to Taiwan or that (China) continues to purchase our agricultural products. I also hope that Taiwan’s agricultural industry can cooperate with China in future. Chu for his part did not think China was deliberately trying to divide Taiwanese society but the DPP’s Tainan Mayor Lai Ching-te strongly disagreed with the Chinese travel company’s arrangements Lai said this was unfair both to the Chinese tourists and the local tourism industry.

The main attraction of the festival is the nightly parade of elephants, dressed in richly embroidered robes and illuminated with bulbs. The spectacular procession is led by the largest animal (Elephas maximus), adorned with golden covers on the tusks, which has the honor of carrying on his back a heavy golden palanquin in which the relic is transported only in this occasion from the temple and walk around town (sometimes even a backup of the relic is used, the original monitored inside the temple). As the founder of Buddhism was born on the full moon day of the month of August (around 480 a.), The Perahera is held to coincide with the full moon of August.

The Heart Of The Ancient Silkroad (Uzbekistan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about The Heart Of The Ancient Silkroad in Uzbekistan.
Today's Uzbekistan is referred to as the golden heart of the Ancient Silk Road, a legendary trade route that once linked China with Europe and, at the same time, the centres of Islamic civilization. The capital, Tashkent, was growing too and the city was famous in both Orient and Occident for its scholars, poets and artisans and even today its inhabitants are proud of their legacy which is a combination of Oriental, Russian and Soviet times. Samarqand became integrated within the Persian Empire, was later conquered by Alexander The Great and, in the fourteenth century, became the centre of the World Empire of Amir Timur. Newly introduced Timurid Design further enriched the architecture. Further west, the caravans reached the oasis city of Bukhara, ‘God's blessed city’, on the border of the Kyzylkum Desert. In the Middle Ages it was one of the most important religious and economic centres of the Islamic world. On the outskirt of the ancient town of Chor Minor is the madrasah of the Four Minarets. All sorts of conventional crafts have been handed down and are still used today. Bukharan rag dolls continue to be manufactured and offered for sale. Returning to the centre, there is a synagogue. In the middle of the nineteenth century, five hundred Jews lived in Chor Minor and beneath the domes of ancient bazaars, trade still continues today. Khiva is one of the greatest centres of ancient Korezm, ‘Land of the sun’, in the west of today’s Uzbekistan, an oriental city in which its greatest minaret, Kalta-Minar, remains unfinished. Ko´Hna Ark, fortress of the Khan, is situated within the city walls. The condemned had to wait for their execution at its entrance. The ancient Silk Road eventually became a tourist route. But the magic of its oriental beauty has survived and its historic monuments enchant even today with the magic of a Thousand and One Nights and all of the eternal charm of the Orient!

Beijing Temple of Confucius + Imperial Academy / 北京孔庙 + 北京国子监
The Temple of Confucius at Beijing / 北京孔庙 / 北京孔廟 is the second largest Confucian Temple in China, after the one in Confucius' hometown of Qufu.
The temple was built in 1302, and officials used it to pay their respects to Confucius until 1911. The compound was enlarged twice, during the Ming and Qing dynasties and now occupies some 20,000 square meters. From 1981 until 2005, the Temple of Confucius also housed part of the art collection of the Capital Museum. It stands on Guozijian Street near the Imperial Academy.
The complex includes four courtyards aligned along a central axis. From south to north, noteworthy structures includes the Xianshi Gate (先师门), Dacheng Gate (Gate of Great Accomplishment, 大成门), Dacheng Hall (Hall of Great Accomplishment, 大成殿) and Chongshengci (崇圣祠). Inside the temple there are 198 stone tablets positioned on either side of the front courtyard, and they contains more than 51,624 names of jinshis (advanced scholars) of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and 14 stone stele pavilions of the Ming and Qing dynasties that hold various historical documents of ancient China.
The temple also contains stone tablets recording the names of many generations of scholars who passed the Imperial Examination, a reproduction of a Western Zhou dynasty stone drum made during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1735–96), and stone steles containing the Thirteen Confucian Classics, presented by the city of Jintan in Jiangsu Province.
The Beijing Guozijian / 北京国子监 / 北京國子監, located on Guozijian (Chengxian) Street in Beijing, China, was the imperial college (Guozijian) during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the last Guozijian of China. Most of the Beijing Guozijian's buildings were built during the Ming Dynasty and it remains an important heritage site in China. During the Hundred Days' Reform of the Qing Dynasty, the education and administration of education functions of Guozijian was mainly replaced by the Imperial University of Peking (Jingshi Daxuetang), later known as Peking University. The Guozijian was shut down in 1905.
The Guozijian, often translated into English as the Imperial Academy or Imperial College, was the national central institute of learning in ancient Chinese dynasties. It was the highest institute of learning in China's traditional educational system. Emperors in imperial China would also frequently visit the Guozijian to read Confucian classics to thousands of students.
