    Ep.188 台灣 = 水果王國🍍🍉 Fruit Kingdom in Taiwan: Culture in Every Bite

    Why is Taiwan often called a “fruit kingdom”? In this episode, Mindy and Joeru explore Taiwan’s unique fruit culture — from seasonal harvests and fun fruit festivals, to traditional customs that link fruit with good fortune. You’ll also hear how fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and guavas are celebrated in both modern tourism and traditional gift-giving. In this episode, we cover: – Why Taiwan’s climate and geography make it a paradise for fruit lovers – Modern fruit culture: picking experiences, seasonal festivals, and creative products – Traditional customs: fruit as symbols of luck, health, and celebration – What foreign visitors find most surprising about Taiwan’s fruits 🗣 Listener Challenge: What’s the most unusual or memorable fruit you’ve ever tried? Share your answer with us on Instagram @bitesize.chinese — we’d love to know! 🎙️ The Bitesize Chinese Podcast helps you bridge the gap between classroom Mandarin and how people actuallyspeak — with all the quirks, slang, and culture that come with it. Each bi-weekly episode is a bite-sized challenge designed to stretch your skills and bring you from intermediate to almost advanced — one conversation at a time.
