EP78 Hsinchu City | The Evil Adviser

Episode 78 brings us to Hsinchu City — the windiest city in Taiwan — and parks us at the City God Temple Night Market, one of the oldest and most atmospheric in the island. The temple was built in 1748 and has been the centre of Hsinchu's spiritual and culinary life ever since. Over iconic Hsinchu rice vermicelli stir-fried with wok breath and bouncy pork meatball soup, we enter Biqiu Kingdom — perhaps the darkest single chapter in the whole journey — where a demon disguised as a beautiful person has taken over a king's mind, and the lives of over a thousand children hang on Sun Wukong's ability to act without being seen.
