Transport in Kaohsiung

Booking the Taiwan High Speed Rail ticket on Klook was smooth and quick. Confirmation came fast. The voucher worked without issues at the station. This option saved time and removed guesswork. I recommend this for first time visitors and repeat travelers who value convenience.

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

Hope this info will help any international traveller going from Kinmen (Shuitou Pier 水头码头) to Xiamen (Wutong Port 五通客运码头) 1) Collect ferry ticket from the left most counter (i.e. i海台已附款取票柜台) at Shuitou Pier 水头码头 2) The ferry tickets can only be collected between 30 and 70 minutes before departure. 3) Security and immigration clearance only starts 60 minutes before ferry departure 4) Luggage will be kept in the luggage rooms within the ferry, but unlike the Kinmen side, you'll need to find and claim your luggage before exiting the ferry! Remember to fill in the physical Arrival Card for Temporary Entry Foreigners (photo before) either provided during the ferry trip or at Wutong Port, as you'll need the card to clear the immigration at Xiamen

The MRT Unlimited Pass Ticket was an absolute game-changer during my trip to Taiwan! It made getting around the city incredibly easy and convenient. With unlimited rides, I didn’t have to worry about reloading the card or calculating fares — I just scanned and went. Perfect for exploring multiple attractions in a day. The MRT system itself is clean, safe, and efficient, with trains arriving frequently and stations clearly marked in English, making it very tourist-friendly. The pass gave me the freedom to travel wherever I wanted without any stress, and it saved me both time and money. If you want a smooth, hassle-free way to explore Taiwan, this pass is a must-have. I’ll definitely purchase it again on my next visit!

The Tainan-Xiaogang Airport Express Line is really convenient, with many pick-up/drop-off points. The bus arrives on time, and the driver thoughtfully reminds you to be careful getting on and off. It's comfortable and stable, and the large luggage storage area is very spacious. There are no limits on the number of pieces or weight of luggage. Highly recommended!

Excellent expérience from beginning till end. Very easy to redeem physical tickets at the EXIT 2 HSR ZUOYING counter. The bus stop is one level down. You can't missed it. We were given a small bottle of water and tissue. You must press the button if you want to alight before XIAOWAN terminal. Seats are quite spacious.

The ride was smooth from start to finish, and the driver was professional and careful on the road. We arrived exactly on time, and the stops along the way were well-planned and convenient. I was amazed at how comfortable and stress-free long-distance travel could be. If you’re looking for an affordable, comfortable, and reliable way to travel between Taipei and Kaohsiung, this bus service is highly recommended. I would definitely choose it again!

Used this service both going from Kaohsiung to Donggang and return. Customer service is very proactive and reach out a day before for pick up instructions and details. On the return leg from Donggang to Kaohsiung, customer service advise other passenger's schedule so we can arrange our ferry time accordingly. This help us save some money by sharing the ride with other passengers. Car is in great conditions and clean.

Onboard karaoke for passengers use. Theme merchandise, cutlery, cup, cup holders, napkins and wet tissues. So much more fun for the family and kids. Clean train cabin and better looking chairs. Comfortable 5 hours and 14 minutes ride just for the experience.
