Transport in Chiayi

We traveled on the day Super Typhoon Bavi was affecting Taiwan, so we were very grateful that our Taiwan High Speed Rail trip still operated safely and wasn't canceled. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to continue our travel plans without major disruptions. Booking through Klook was seamless, and redeeming our tickets was quick and easy. The train was clean, comfortable, spacious, and departed on time despite the weather. The stations were well organized with clear signs, making it easy for first-time visitors like us to navigate. Traveling from Taipei to Kaohsiung was smooth, fast, and stress-free. We're truly thankful to the THSR team for their professionalism and commitment to passenger safety. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan!

The shuttle bus departs from the rear station of Chiayi Train Station. Please gather 10 minutes early. A reminder SMS will be sent the day before. For the Dragon Boat Festival long weekend, the ferry company provided ferry schedule information by phone the day before departure. Budai Port was very crowded, but the weather and sea conditions were good. The journey to Magong Port took approximately 80 minutes.

this 3-day pass helped me explore kaoshiung, taichung, and chiayi. saved a lot. and easy to use

A great option if you want to spend more time exploring without feeling rushed. The bus operates on a clear timetable, so it’s easy to plan your day and know exactly when the next departure is. It made getting around stress-free, and I had an absolutely amazing time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to explore at their own pace!

I think it is the most comfortable way to travel to Alishan. The driving was so steady that I could easily fall asleep. Also, it’s great to have a tour guide to talk about the history of Alishan, and having a stop in the middle was great for a rest from the hours long journey.

it was raining which gives a different vibe. but overall still a great experience. Driver was punctual and gives simple but great recommendations.

The owner was very nice. All the scooters had just been returned to the airport, so there were many options. The owner specifically picked out a very new Yamaha for us, and it was in excellent condition. Plus, the owner emphasized that we didn't need to refuel when returning it because there was still half a tank of gas, and since we were just riding around nearby, it should be enough (but I still added 50 yuan). Having a scooter made this trip so much more convenient. Thanks again to the owner for the service! Service: Heartwarming, comfortable, and stress-free service experience.

travel is so convenient and fast. driver and staff are friendly and helpful despite language barrier. there's also a cute vending machine and convenient store to buy food.

The "Xuyue" train is definitely worth experiencing. Listening to the guided tour along the way and admiring the ever-changing scenery outside the window is a very different experience from the "Shanan" and "Haifeng" trains. Although the train has restrooms, they are extremely small and are the original, unaltered restrooms from the forest railway. Unless it's an absolute emergency, there's no need to use them on the train. The Alishan Forest Railway is a truly unique experience. I hope Alishan focuses more on conservation and less on development. After visiting Alishan, I hope everyone will cherish Taiwan's treasures even more.
