I love seeing what attracts Chinese tourists to the West and vice versa. The Chinese like myths and obviously fantastical narratives. The brochures for Westerners are all “rich history”, “fascinating historic sites” and “unique culture”.https://www.virginholidays.co.uk/destinations/asia-and-far-east/china-tours …

Taipei is all about the food, if I am to believe all of the western travel bloggers. The fact that Taiwan avoided the Cultural Revolution and therefore has many aspects of Chinese culture better preserved get less deserved attention.

Logan Beck's channel is fairly well filmed, though he is a bit overtly enthusiastic to my taste:https://youtu.be/iiitHe9NoGk

Life in Taiwan has less stuff, but as a British person, does not cause mental diabetes:https://youtu.be/nKiFrbIKjFs

As a bonus, the channel ADV Chinese is really interesting, but that is not about Taiwan but of the mainland China:https://youtu.be/Y-zDsvidfdk

There are less useful travel stuff out there, but all these show some of the reality.
