Taiwan’s High Speed Rail (THSR) is one of the most convenient ways to travel around Taiwan. From Taipei you can get to Kaohsiung in 1 1/2 hours. When I travel, I prefer to use Taiwan’s High Speed Rail system because it is more convenient, comfortable and faster than the Taiwan Railway Association’s (TRA) trains.
Unfortunately, THSR tickets cost quite a bit depending on how far you want to travel, but there a couple ways to get a discount on the THSR tickets.
The most convenient is to purchase your tickets through Klook. Below you will find a list of each discounted ticket depending on departure station.
