Hi guys,

I am going Taiwan on a biz trip and will be travelling from Taipei all the way south to Tainan and Kaohsiung.

My flight back to Singapore is next Saturday departing from Taipei airport at abt 7am but I will be in Tainan till abt 8pm.

Can I check if anyone knows how long is the journey from Tainan to Taipei by the High Speed Rail and their operating hours ?

Thanks in advance.

You can check Taiwan high speed rail website for time schedule, the site is in English so very easy to understand.
Last train from Tainan is 12am+ about 1hr 20min.
If you going airport straight away then is to taoyuan not taipei.

Duration from tainan to Taipei: 2hrs
Or you can stay in taipei.
Set alarm at 4am.
Grab a cab to taoyuan international airport.
Alternatively book novotel taoyuan.
Head to airport from there.
Distance to airport from hotel, 5-10mins.

Hi guys, ask you all. I am reading the HSR website on how to purchase the tickets. It says something about early bird discount of 10%, 20% and 35%. I saw quite a few 10%, random 20%, but almost never any 35%. Even if at 20% its about same price as klook lor. Is there a trick to get 35% wan??? :s13::D

Hi Calkel20,

There are 2 of us flying to Taipei on 16th Apr arriving at 6 am & want to take the HSR to Tainan. Will it be better to take the 8.34 am or 9.34 am train? Will also need train tickets from Tainan to Kaoshiung & from Kaoshiung back to Taipei.

Advice is needed. Pls contact me. Thks

Code:
For HSR, just book direct from the official website can already. No need to go thru KLOOK. The website is pretty easy easy to use. Just need to key your passport number and show your passport when collecting the ticket at the counter.

do i need to sign up as member (i.e. create account) first before booking?
can i book for my family members as well? or they need to create their own account to book?

Not required though.
If unsure, get from me.
Price not much difference..
