I check online just now.. Ruifang to shifen nt20..

Then shifen to houtong, then houtong to ruifang. Definitely cheaper.

But u decide to go, pingxi, shifen, houtong,then ruifang. Total should be more than 58nt.
Normally will buy a day tix. 無憂無慮。。。

Harder for u to go to shulin from taoyuan airport. So please just take bus to TMS and then transfer to TRA train. That shulin station is on the metro line, it's hong shu lin... Mangrove in translation.

Give and take, please say u are ready to hop on the HSR says 2 hours upon arrival. That's your best bet. Besides, train service is every 1/2 hour. So within 1/2 hour surely cannot de. 1 hour abit risky. 1.5 possible. 2 hours, confirm guarantee plus chop. Not forgetting your arrival time is basically the peak time on the freeway, and of course, most planes arrive during meals time, like Noon, Evening. Etc.
