Ordering Regulations:

  • When ordering designated accommodations, tours, experiences, transportation, and other “travel components” on Klook, you will receive a 5% discount code. Enter the discount code at checkout, and upon successful payment, you will enjoy a 5% discount or more on added High-Speed Rail tickets! “Travel components” refer to the items initially ordered. For example, if you order Penghu ferry tickets and add High-Speed Rail tickets, the Penghu ferry tickets are the “travel components.”

1. Number of Tickets:

The maximum number of one-way tickets used is equivalent to the number of users for the "travel components." For example, if you order 2 Penghu ferry tickets, you can add a maximum of 2 High-Speed Rail tickets.

2. Destination Station for Travel Components:

The High-Speed Rail's 'outbound destination' and 'return departure point' must match the travel component's location. For example, if you book a Kaohsiung hotel, the outbound destination station is limited to Zuoying, and the departure station is not restricted. Conversely, for the return journey, the departure station is limited to Zuoying, and the destination station is not restricted.

A. For Gaoping area components, the destination station must be Zuoying Station. B. For Taipei-New Taipei-Keelung area components, you can choose Nangang/Taipei/Banqiao three stations. C. For Yilan-Hualien-Taitung area components, you can choose Nangang/Taipei/Banqiao/Zuoying four stations.

3. Ticket Travel Date:

The departure date for the outbound journey can be any day from the travel component's usage date (e.g., hotel check-in date) up to 3 days prior. The return date can be any day from the travel component's usage date (e.g., hotel check-out date) up to 4 days after. The total duration for outbound and return journeys must not exceed seven days (e.g., for accommodation on 1/10 and check-out on 1/11, the High-Speed Rail outbound journey can be used any day from 1/7 to 1/10, and the High-Speed Rail return journey can be used any day from 1/11 to 1/15; or for a one-day tour on 1/10, the High-Speed Rail outbound journey can be used any day from 1/7 to 1/10, and the High-Speed Rail return journey can be used any day from 1/10 to 1/14).

Review for: Taipei · Zuoying (Kaohsiung)

It's great that you can get some discounts when buying activities through Klook, but you need to use a mobile phone to redeem tickets. If you buy two or more tickets, you'll need two or more phones.

Review for: Zuoying (Kaohsiung) · Taipei

Booking a ticket through Klook was fast and very convenient. I just had to read carefully to fully understand the terms and conditions. I received a 15% discount for the ticket because I availed a Klook tour. The confirmation came the day after I booked the ticket. A separate email was sent for the voucher and details on how to claim it. I downloaded the THSR T-Express app the day before my trip. I got my QR code in the booking menu of the app and provided my information. I arrived just in time and scanned my QR code on my phone at the gate. There was no queuing, no hassle, and it was paperless. My journey from Kaohsiung to Taipei was definitely smooth, fast, and comfortable, completed within 90 minutes. I will book again whenever I go to other cities.

Review for: Zuoying (Kaohsiung) · Taoyuan

It's a good activity, and getting 15% off with accommodation is a great deal. However, there are many people taking the high-speed rail who don't understand the signs. Many people with small luggage occupy the luggage storage area, even though it's clearly marked for 28-inch luggage and larger.

Review for: Taipei · Zuoying (Kaohsiung)

Taking the High-Speed Rail is fast and comfortable. The carriages are clean and tidy, the seats are spacious, and the staff are friendly. It's punctual and convenient, significantly reducing travel time between the north and south. Overall, the travel experience is quite good.

Review for: Banqiao · Taichung

Using discount tickets is a great deal! It's just that when you book, you can only select the travel segment and can't specify a seat. That's a bit of a shame. Also, the only ways to pick up your tickets are through the app or at convenience stores (with a handling fee of $10 per ticket). You can't pick them up directly at the station.

Using discounted tickets is a great deal! It's just that when booking, you can only select the travel section, and you can't specify a particular seat! That's a bit of a shame. Also, the only ways to collect your tickets are via the app or at convenience stores (with a service fee of $10 per ticket), and you can't pick them up directly at the train station.

Review for: Zuoying (Kaohsiung) · Nangang

Booking a High-Speed Rail vacation with a rental car is incredibly convenient! You can pick up your car right after getting off the train and head straight out, with no need to wait for shuttles or carry luggage. This time, when I went to the south, my itinerary was much more flexible, and the price was more cost-effective than booking separately. It's definitely the top choice for those who value efficiency and comfort!

Review for: Chiayi · Taipei

Traveling from Chiayi to Taipei took less than 2 hours. The train ride was very smooth and the cabin was clean and comfortable. It’s definitely worth it — especially if you manage to get a promotional fare!
