High speed Rail

The most efficient way to travel in Taiwan if you do not have budget concern. In Taipei, the train station, MRT system and High Speed Rail are all connected at the main station. So it’s easier to get around. In other cities, people need to transfer to downtown from High Speed Rail station. So, shuttles and taxis are closed to the Rail stations too. And please note that the High Speed Rail only services along the Western coast.
