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.

buy 1 get 1 is very worth it. redemptiok is easy on the website. Klook instructions are clear enough to guide me. we can also change our timing to earlier if need to, which helps. i booked for 5pm timing but ended up taking the 3.10pm train. not bad. on the HSR, there are some snacks and drinks sold too. you can also buy food from 7-11 at the Taoyuan HSR station too. there is also free shuttle bus (show your HSR tickets) at Tainan HSR station to take H31 bus to city area. note that Taoyuan HSR station is NOT at Taipei Taoyuan airport. from airport MRT station, you need to take a MRT ride to the Taoyuan HSR station.

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.

Booked a night before traveling to Taichung for our Sun Moon Lake DIY trip and good thing we made it with Klook! It’s easy to redeem and you’ll just have to find the HSR window to get your physical ticket after you reserved your seats in the website mentioned here after booking confirmation. Since it’s B1G1 for us non-Taiwanese it’s a great steal ✨

Legit, hassle free. Easy to redeem. Reliable, no delays. Has ample space for legroom. The train is clean and comfortable. You need to reserve early if you have preferred seat. Overall, we enjoyed riding the THSR!

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.

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!
