Jet Li’s Taiwan travel piece

Jet Li posted a new YouTube vlog on April 25 that follows him and his daughter through Taiwan on what he calls a spiritual trip. (youtube.com) The video is titled “Exploring Taiwan’s Spiritual Side With Jet Li,” and it appears on Li’s official YouTube channel, which lists about 469,000 subscribers. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) Li says the vlog is his “first vlog,” and the description frames it as a father-daughter trip through Taiwan. A matching TikTok teaser posted about 12 hours earlier says, “Come with me to Taiwan in my first vlog.” (youtube.com) (tiktok.com) The description says the pair visit Buddhist centers that include a hospital, a university and a television station. It also thanks Tzu Chi Foundation and Dharma Drum Mountain by name. (youtube.com) Those institutions are not minor stops. Tzu Chi says it was founded in Taiwan in 1966 and now operates across charity, medical care, education and media. (global.tzuchi.org) (tzuchi.org.tw) Tzu Chi’s network includes Tzu Chi University, Tzu Chi hospitals and Da Ai Television, which matches the university, hospital and TV station itinerary listed under Li’s video. (tcu.edu.tw) (taipei.tzuchi.com.tw) (daai.tv) Dharma Drum Mountain is another of Taiwan’s major Buddhist organizations. Its official site says Master Sheng Yen founded the group in 1989, and its headquarters are in Jinshan, New Taipei City. (ddm.org.tw) (eng.taiwan.net.tw) The vlog lands as Li expands his online presence around personal storytelling and a new English-language book, “Beyond Life and Death: The Way of True Freedom,” which his channel says is due May 5, 2026. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) Four hours after posting, the Taiwan vlog showed about 3,069 views and 576 likes on YouTube. The clip’s early audience was smaller than Li’s relaunch video from three months ago, which his channel lists at more than 2.6 million views. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) What the video documents, at minimum, is a celebrity travel diary built around Taiwan’s Buddhist infrastructure rather than movie promotion. Li’s posted itinerary points viewers to hospitals, classrooms, studios and temples that Taiwanese groups have spent decades building. (youtube.com) (tzuchi.org.tw) (ddm.org.tw)
