Our ride on the Taiwan High Speed Rail from Chiayi to Taipei was an excellent experience from start to finish. The train departed right on time, and the entire journey felt incredibly smooth and efficient. The seats were clean, comfortable, and had plenty of legroom, making it easy to relax and enjoy the ride. We were especially impressed by how quiet and well-maintained everything was. The large windows gave us a nice view of Taiwan’s scenery as we sped north. What really stood out was how fast and convenient the trip was—what would normally take hours by car felt quick and stress-free. The staff were also polite and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. Overall, it was a very comfortable, reliable, and enjoyable way to travel across Taiwan. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a hassle-free journey!

Booked the Taiwan HSR ticket on Klook with the 15% discount from Taichung to Taoyuan and it was honestly super convenient 👍 - The 15% discount made the ticket noticeably cheaper than booking directly - Redemption process with the local website was a bit difficult, need to read the guide step-by-step carefully - Great comfortable and fast option if you need to get to Taoyuan Airport area quickly from central Taiwan

There's a 15% discount for foreigner. It's easy to use. Go to the counter, show them the voucher and passport. They will issue the train tickets to you. Take note of which platform to go and ta-ta, done. You can try their train bento set if you happen to be taking train during lunch time. It's nice and delicious.

We met a helpful snd warm lady, who was assisting and directing tourist. We reached earlier than our booking time, and she brought us to the counter to exchange our THSR tickets to earlier timing. The tickets are definitely worth buying with 50% off. If you are taking train during lunch, they will be selling the train bento. It's worth trying.

The Taiwan High-Speed Rail ticket for non-Taiwanese was on a buy-one-take-one promotion. We were glad we were able to purchase it before it expired on March 31st. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by nice staff who instructed us on how to redeem the ticket. My husband and I enjoyed the 200 to 300 kilometers per hour speed of the high-speed rail train, which is similar to Japan's bullet train. It was very clean, nice, and had comfortable seats. We were able to reach Zuoying Terminal in just under two hours. Thank you so much.
