This Vlog follows Max and Jacqueline's 24-hour exploration of Taichung, Taiwan, a well-deserved rest from their ambitious 1000km cycling journey around the island. They begin their adventure by taking a local bus, noting the unique pillow-style bus stop display. The couple then visits a cultural heritage park, creatively repurposed from an old factory, offering a glimpse into Taiwan's industrial past.
