Complete Guide to Train Travel in Taiwan
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-284.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
All aboard! Are you planning to travel through Taiwan using trains? Here’s a special guide to railway travel for all train aficionados. There’s something magical about embarking on train rides as time seems to slow down with the changing scenes outside the window.
Taiwan’s railways offer the most convenient and enjoyable way to travel around the island. The trains have been serving the locals since 1887 during the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, more railway tracks and stations have been added to form the round-the-island train network.
You may have noticed many similarities between your train experiences in Taiwan and Japan like the design of the trains and stations, the fun commemorative train ‘stamp’ counter, and even train bentos. It is because both countries share close historical ties as some of the train facilities and tracks were built during the Japanese period.
This guide introduces the two major railway systems Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) 臺鐵 and Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) 台灣高鐵 . Both railways have been enhancing their facilities and services to cater to international travelers and offering more sightseeing train and railway travel routes. As some of the websites are in Chinese, I have summarized information of recommended train experiences that you should not miss for your next trip to Taiwan. Enjoy planning and embarking on your railway adventure!

Guide to Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA)
Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) 臺鐵 operates a comprehensive network of trains connecting cities and small towns around the island. TRA celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2017. It has been serving the locals for many years.
There are several types of passenger trains such as intercity, Fuxing, Juguang, Ziqiang, and more so you can select the train that suits your budget and time.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-67.png?resize=900%2C941&ssl=1)
TRA operates a dazzling selection of sightseeing train routes that you can embark on for relaxing day trips. A popular train excursion is on the Pingxi 平溪 Line that brings you to stations like Ruifang 瑞豐, Houtong 猴硐 (also known as the cat village), Shifen 十分 for its waterfalls, and of course Pingxi 平溪 old street where you can enjoy the stunning views of railway tracks running close to the streets and participate in its annual Sky Lantern Festival. There are other popular branch lines like Jiji 集集, Neiwan 內灣, and the Old Mountain Line 舊山線.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-262.jpeg?resize=900%2C506&ssl=1)
Book your tickets on TRA website or the TRA app. You can also purchase and print the tickets in convenient stores, which are truly convenient as they provide many types of services on top of selling delicious food. Advanced reservations for weekend and special scenic train routes are highly recommended, especially for tickets to Taitung.
I like using the TRA app (台鐵e訂通) as it is user-friendly. I use it to check train timings and purchase the hard-to-get tickets for the train that connects Taipei and Taitung. The scenic ride from Taipei to Taitung will take 4-5 hours and you will be treated to gorgeous vistas of the ocean and mountains for the stretch between Hualien and Taitung. If you are planning to visit Taitung, check out my guides to the top 10 experiences in Taitung and cycling in Taitung .
I am excited to share two new sightseeing trains that TRA operates in collaboration with Lion Travel 雄獅旅遊 . Find out more about Breezy Blue 藍皮解憂號 and Future Express 臺鐵 below.
Breezy Blue
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-280.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
Breezy Blue 藍皮解憂號 , this vintage train was retired when TRA went fully electric and relaunched in 2021 after ten months of restoration. The “romantic blue” train evokes nostalgic memories for the locals who commuted to work and school on the blue diesel-powered train.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-285.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
This train transports you down the “off the grid” South-Link line that connects Taitung and Fangliao station, which is the gateway to the rustic Pingtung County. The train route resembles a smiling curve. Look at the train map! Does it look like a =)? This joyous ride is flanked by the picturesque Pacific Ocean and greenery of the more rural parts of Taiwan.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-241.jpeg?resize=900%2C375&ssl=1)
Serious work and research were done to ensure that travellers can enjoy the most authentic train experience. Everything from the exterior colors of the train to the interior set up was refurnished to recreate the nostalgic train experience . One of the highlights of the train ride is the open windows as you can feel the breeze as the train chugs through the island.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-263.jpeg?resize=900%2C675&ssl=1)
The signature aluminium sun shades, luggage racks, handle straps and the green leather seat covers are all installed to mirror the original train.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-269.jpeg?resize=900%2C675&ssl=1)
Even the retro electric fans are restored and installed inside the trains with much care. Not to worry, there is air-conditioning if the weather gets too warm in summer!
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-253.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
A round-trip between the two station is only NT$299 and there is one full ride daily. Lion Taiwan organizes fun tours for train enthusiasts like the premium train package that comes with a tour guide and includes round-trip fare, commemorative ticket and gift, and even a special train bento.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-248.jpeg?resize=900%2C997&ssl=1)
There are also multi-day packages when you can join bus tours after the train rides, which will bring you to recommended places and activities to do in Taitung like Luye and the Taiwan international Hot Air Balloon Festival, and even down south in Kending. Purchase the tickets and packages on Lion Travel 雄獅旅遊 website.
Check out this nostalgic video that shows more about the renovation and refurbishment process!
I have been receiving many questions about Breezy Blue and I hope to experience when I visit the eastern part of Taiwan. One of my readers Millie shared:
I just returned from Taiwan to Singapore yesterday. One of the highlights was experiencing round trip on 藍皮解憂號 (after reading your blog). So much care and attention to details in the restoration of Breezy Blue and when the train slows down during that section closest to the sea, it was totally breathtaking. This experience is one I will not forget.
Future Express
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-256.jpeg?resize=900%2C599&ssl=1)
If you are looking for a luxurious railway experience, Future Express 鳴日號 is the experience to splurge on and indulge. When it was first unveiled to the public in late 2022, the seats were sold out for the pilot train ride on New Year’s Eve.
The premium train is refurbished from the old Chukuang Express trains and covered in striking black and orange hues. The posh interiors are elegantly decorated. There are two types of trains: the Future Express 鳴日號 and the Future Express Kitchen 鳴日廚房. The Future Express train consists of business-class cabins, lounge cars, and bar. The Future Express Kitchen train comes with dining car and kitchen where you can see how the fine dining meals are prepared by top chefs. Not surprising, the trains received the Good Design Award from Japan Institute of Design Promotion.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-287.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
To enhance the overall travel experience, VIP rooms in Hualien, Nangang, Sinwurih and Sinzuoying railway stations are specially prepared for travelers to take breaks during their journey.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-271.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
Let’s tour the exclusive Future Express Kitchen! Travelers enjoy luxury dining service in the “five-star moving restaurant,” the Future Express Dining 鳴日廚房. Lion Travel invited Silks Hotel Group to curate gastronomical menus featuring lavish courses that travelers can enjoy during the train ride. The dishes are made from fresh local products sourced from places like Yilan where the train passes through.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-252.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
A few years back, I pampered myself “accidentally” with a stay Silks Place Taroko Hotel (I almost died when I saw the final hotel bill). The hotel is nestled in the heart of the Taroko Gorge. The views from the hotel and especially the pool are just mind-blowing and the meals at their restaurants are so exquisite. I can just imagine how incredible the Future Express Dining experience will be!
Just a disclaimer that I am not paid by Lion Travel to share about Future Express. I will gladly welcome an invitation to board Future Express (hint hint)!
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-268.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
This lavish train ride comes with a price tag. Tour prices vary from NT$29,900 for a three-day tour to NT$45,900 for a five-day tour. Book your tours on Lion Travel website. Travelers can choose from a variety of railway tours that will bring them to hot springs, cultural destinations like temples, Aboriginal villages, and even cherry blossom-viewing spots. If you enjoy flower themed trips, check out my guide to flower viewing and leisure farms in Taiwan .
Watch this video to see the variety of fine dining you can enjoy at the Future Express Kitchen!
Guide to Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR )
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-286.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
Another railway system in Taiwan is the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) 台灣高鐵. Like Japan’s high speed trains, THSR connects cities and towns in Taiwan with its fast and comfortable trains. It takes only 1.5 hours to travel between the major cities Taipei and Kaohsiung. You can choose the train timings that fit your itineraries as the train frequency is quite high.
The twelve THSR stations form the “Western Corridor” of Taiwan as they connect Nanyang and Taipei in the north to the south at Zuoying, the station in Kaohsiung City. THSR and TRA train lines complement each other so you will find yourself doing long journey on THSR and then hopping to TRA to reach smaller towns.
THSR tickets are more expensive than local trains operated by Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) but you can cut down traveling time and hassle. Travel tip: save money by buying your tickets early on THSR website. The earlier you purchase your tickets, the cheaper the “early bird” tickets.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-71.png?resize=900%2C502&ssl=1)
International travelers are entitled to exclusive THSR passes! The passes range from one-way ticket to five-day pass. I used some of these passes for my trips around the island. Find out more about the passes and purchase them on THSR website .
Travel tip : You can purchase high speed train tickets from Taiwan High Speed Rail website or discounted tickets (20% off) on Klook . Use my special Klook promo code WENDYKLOOK to enjoy 5% any Klook purchases (no min. spend; capped at USD $10).
THSR offers many train tour packages on their T-Holiday 高鐵假期 website and interesting travel articles on their e-magazine TLife . The main target audience is Taiwanese so the websites are in Chinese and the tours will be conducted in Mandarin too. If you are interested in any tours, you can get in touch with them and ask if they can provide any supporting language services.
Just scanning through the T-Holiday website, you will be amazed by the wide variety of tours. From themed tours that focus arts and culture (藝術散策之旅) to romantic railway lines crossing Hsinchu, Taichung, and Miaoli (浪漫台三線), I am so inspired by the railway travel itineraries. Most tours include transportation to a main THSR station, transfers by bus to a number of attractions in the local town, an overnight stay, and trip back to the station.
For this guide, I will highlight two itineraries from the Gourmet Voyages 饗宴之旅 theme.
One day tour of Tainan
Starting from Tainan 台南 station, the first stop is Guohua Street 国华街 . This famous food street is the place to savour the best of Tainan’s local street food. The must-eat dishes recommended by locals are rice noodles with squid 小卷米粉, rice cake 碗粿, and beef soup 牛肉湯.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-240.jpeg?resize=900%2C600&ssl=1)
After a full lunch, head to Tainan’s Confucius Temple 臺南孔子廟 . This majestic temple was first built in 1666 and it has withstood history and even natural disasters.
Take a break and enjoy the traditional drink from shuànsên beverage 双生 . This well-known shop serves green bean (or mung bean) smoothies mixed with local Hu-San milk.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-249.jpeg?resize=900%2C1201&ssl=1)
Continue your tour and visit Tainan Art Museum 臺南市美術館 . This architectural marvel houses an impressive collection of contemporary arts.
End your Tainan food journey at A-Sha Restaurant 阿霞飯店 . This dining institution has been serving high quality Taiwanese dishes since 1940. Don’t leave Tainan without trying some of their classics like glutinous rice with mud crab 紅蟳米糕 and stir-fried eel noodles 炒鱔魚意麵.

Two days tour of Lukang
Starting from Changhua station, the first attraction of the Lukang 鹿港 tour is the tranquil Cheng Mei Cultural Park 成美文化園 .
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-250.jpeg?resize=900%2C675&ssl=1)
Next, spend some time in the atmospheric Lukang Old Street 鹿港老街 to soak in the culture and savour local snack like vermicelli soup 麵線糊, meatball 肉圓, and soybean pudding 豆花.
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-266.jpeg?resize=900%2C622&ssl=1)
After a filling lunch, pay your respects to the Goddess of Sea Mazu at Lukang Tianhou Temple 鹿港天后宮. This historic temple is one of the oldest Mazu temples in Taiwan.
Enjoy a tea break and try more Lukang classics like tongue cake 牛舌餅, rice puff with sesame 麻荖, fried bun with braised pork 刈包, and more.
The final spot is Lukang Lungshan Temple 龍山寺, another historic site where the locals frequent. Find out more about this tour here !
![lion travel stop](https://i0.wp.com/whywendywrites.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/image-255.jpeg?resize=900%2C675&ssl=1)
Special recommendation: Taipei
Taipei is probably the first stop if you land in Taoyuan Airport. THSR offers a guided gourmet tour of the city. A highly recommended restaurant is the Michelin Bib Gourmand
Song-Tzu Garden Restaurant 松竹園 in Yang Ming Shan. The signature cuisine here is their chicken dishes as they use domestically rear poultry. Plan an excursion to the mountains when you visit this place.

Hi Wendy, thank you for your wonderfully detailed post! I am trying to find the booking site for Breezy blue on Lion Travels (as mentioned on your blog) but cannot find it anywhere. I live in Hong Kong and plan to visit Taiwan in a 10 days’ time.
Hi Wendy—we are traveling on the THSR from Taipei to Kaohsiung in a few days. Is it best to buy the bento before you get on the train, or just buy it on board?
I love train travel. It’s a great feeling to watch that scenery slowly, I will take your suggestions into consideration, I read your article with pleasure
Hi Wendy, Very inspirational. We are going to be in Taiwan in December this year and are basically going to use trains and some buses (local) throughout our c. 11 day visit. We really want to do the Breezy Blue but it’s difficult to find timetables for this train. Are you able to point out where Incan find them? Is the train running daily? Do we need to book? We will be only going in one direction? I did see train leaves Fangliao at 10.35 and arrives at Taitang at 13.35. Is that still correct? Is there a morning train leaving Taitang or just the afternoon returning to Fangliao? Any help you can provide will be amazing. David
Hi David! Thanks for reading the article.
Exciting that you are planning a trip to Taiwan.
You can see the train timing here (in Chinese – https://event.liontravel.com/zh-tw/railtour/breezyblue/index ).
I am not too sure how you can purchase tickets. You may like to drop them an email and check. I heard that the tickets are limited.
[email protected] (I found this email from their website)
If you manage to get tickets, please let me know and I would love to update my article to help other travelers. Thanks!

It was previously known as Kuznetsk until 1931, and as Stalinsk until 1961.
Founded in 1618 by men from Tomsk as a Cossack ostrog (fort) on the Tom River , it was initially called Kuznetsky ostrog ( Кузне́цкий острог ). [2] It became the seat of Kuznetsky Uyezd in 1622. [3] Kuznetsk ( Кузне́цк ) was granted town status in 1689. [3] It was here that Fyodor Dostoevsky married his first wife, Maria Isayeva in 1857. [13] Joseph Stalin 's rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union transformed the sleepy town into a major coal mining and industrial center in the 1930s. It merged with Sad Gorod in 1931. From 1931 to 1932, the city was known as Novokuznetsk and between 1932 and 1961 as Stalinsk ( Ста́линск ), after Stalin. As a result of de-Stalinization , it was renamed back to Novokuznetsk .
As of the 2021 Census , the ethnic composition of Novokuznetsk was: [14]
Within the framework of administrative divisions , Novokuznetsk serves as the administrative center of Novokuznetsky District , even though it is not a part of it. [1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Novokuznetsk City Under Oblast Jurisdiction —an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts .

Pope, 87, Embarks on ‘Physical Test’ in Grueling Asia Tour
The 11-day trip, a signal that Francis does not intend to slow down, requires nearly 45 hours of air travel and meetings in tropical climates.
![lion travel stop Pope Francis waves to a crowd of people surrounding him.](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/09/02/multimedia/02pope-explainer01-photo-qwfk/02pope-explainer01-photo-qwfk-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale)

Reporting from Vatican City and Jakarta, Indonesia
Pope Francis left Monday on an 11-day trip to Southeast Asia and Oceania, the longest and among the most complicated of his tenure. It could be particularly challenging for Francis, 87, who has been using a wheelchair and battling health problems.
But the trip, which includes a stop in Indonesia — the world’s largest Muslim majority country — also signals he has no intention of slowing down his outreach to faraway Catholics.
Francis will visit four countries for a total of about 20,000 miles by plane. From Indonesia he goes to Papua New Guinea, then East Timor and Singapore, as he deepens his engagement with Asia, one of his priorities.
The trip will include more than 43 hours of air travel and meetings with local faithful, clergy and politicians in cities with tropical climates or high levels of pollution on the other side of the world from Rome.
“It’s a physical test,” said Massimo Faggioli, a professor of theology at Villanova University, “and a sign that this pontificate is far from being over.”
Why is he visiting these countries?
The pope chose four island nations as he extends his outreach to what he calls “the peripheries,” a term for overlooked, faraway places with small, minority or persecuted Catholic communities. The trip is also one of Francis’ boldest engagements with Asia, a fast-growing part of the world, which the pope has always regarded as a strategic objective.
Francis made a largely secretive deal with China in 2018 for the appointment of bishops, but not all issues have been resolved, as China’s government still exerts strong political control over religious life, said Gianni Criveller, dean of studies at the PIME International Missionary School of Theology in Milan.
While no pope has been able to visit China, Francis has taken trips, such as to Mongolia, that have basically put him on China’s doorstep. This time as well, Mr. Faggioli said, the trip is seen as an attempt to “talk to countries he can’t go to.”
He said the trip also showed Francis’ ambition to make the Roman Catholic Church truly global — drawing attention to areas not traditionally of Christian culture and where Catholicism coexists with other religions, relying on the communities’ devotion rather than on wealth, endowments or a historical hegemony.
Unlike in Europe, the Catholic church in Asia does not “rest on its laurels,” said Mr. Faggioli, and believing is in some cases still an act of resistance.
“He sends a message to all the Catholics,” Mr. Faggioli said. “That the future of the church looks more like these churches in which we are a minority than those in which we are a majority.”
The pope’s first stop, Indonesia, also reflects Francis’ commitment to promoting dialogue between Muslims and Christians. He was the first pope to visit the Arabian Peninsula , in 2019.
He is also likely to urge global action to protect the environment, in a part of the world that is particularly vulnerable to climate change, including rising sea levels and severe weather events like droughts and typhoons.
Is the pope too frail for such a trip?
The Vatican originally had considered the trip for 2020 but canceled it because of the pandemic. Despite being older now, the pope is committed to showing that despite his age and ailments he is “still alive though some wanted me dead,” as he once joked .
In recent years, Francis’ health has been a source of concern. Within three years, he underwent a hernia operation, had colon surgery and was hospitalized for a respiratory infection. Last year, he did not attend a summit in Dubai because of health problems.
Still, the pope has been seen walking in recent weeks, instead of using a wheelchair, as he has increasingly done.
In the 11-day trip, he will be accompanied by his medical team (two nurses and a doctor) and, in a first, by his secretaries. Matteo Bruni, the Vatican’s spokesman, said at a news briefing on Friday that no extra precautions were taken for this trip, as the measures they normally adopt were considered sufficient.
Still, the ambitious itinerary for the octogenarian leader of the world’s Roman Catholics inevitably has stirred questions about the impact on his health.
Reporters questioned Mr. Bruni about the 92 percent humidity that the pope would face in Vanimo, a town tucked between Papua New Guinea’s rainforest and the Pacific Ocean. Markus Solo, an Indonesian priest who focuses on interfaith dialogue at the Vatican, said he worried about the impact that Jakarta’s high pollution could have, partly because Francis lost part of a lung to infection as a teenager.
“Hopefully, the government will do something in order to reduce the pollution during the visit,” he said.
The head of the Environmental Service of Jakarta, Asep Kuswanto, said no specific plans for curbing air pollution had been made for the pope’s visit.
Still, it appeared that some measures had been taken to protect the pope’s health. Francis was not expected to visit Flores, a predominantly Catholic Indonesian island.
“His health condition doesn’t permit him to go all that way,” said Father Solo, originally from Flores. “We have to be very prudent.”
Ismail Cawidu, a senior official at Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, an important stop on the visit, said that the pope would not tour the inside of the mosque but instead meet other religious leaders at a plaza outside.
Mr. Ismail said they had asked the Vatican if the pope could cross the “tunnel of friendship” that connects the mosque, Southeast Asia’s largest, with a Catholic cathedral but were still awaiting a response.
What can we expect from the trip?
Indonesia has a large Christian population, with a lively Catholic community. The country has been considered an example of interfaith tolerance but is still facing challenges to its image, as extremist Islamic groups have exerted growing pressure on other religions.
The pope’s visit to the Istiqlal mosque will include a meeting with representatives of the country’s officially recognized religions — Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism and Catholic and Protestant Christianity. He will also celebrate Mass at a stadium in the city, where tens of thousands are likely to attend.
Papua New Guinea, where more than 800 languages are spoken, is one of the world’s poorest countries, and Pope Francis “wants to send a message that he can reach everyone, that nobody is too faraway,” Father Criveller said. After spending most of next weekend in Port Moresby, the capital, Francis will fly north to the coastal town of Vanimo, and he may address the issue of protecting nature from extractive businesses and the effects of climate change.
In East Timor, Asia’s newest nation and the only predominantly Catholic country on the trip, Francis is to follow in the footsteps of John Paul II, who also visited the conflict-scarred nation. Francis may face questions over the scandal involving Carlos Ximenes Belo , a Nobel-winning bishop and independence hero who the Vatican acknowledged had sexually abused young boys.
In Singapore, an economic powerhouse with a blend of Asian ethnicities and religions, Francis will witness one of the world’s most diverse societies up close, as well as a small but dynamic Catholic community, where the faithful still crowd pews.

By Siberian standards, Kemerovo Oblast is populous, urban, and industrialized. It lies in the heart of the "Kuzbass" (Kuznets Basin) region, home to the world's largest deposits of coal. Accordingly, most of Kemerovo Oblast's cities developed because of economic opportunities related to the coal industry. As a result, the region's cities are often quite polluted, although the situation has improved since the fall of the USSR. Visitors to the region's cities will find them busy, but not significant tourist attractions in and of themselves. But this is all the more reason to get out into the beautiful and unspoilt (and uninhabited) Siberian countryside!
Russian is the only dish on the menu.
Most visitors will pass through Kemerovo Oblast on the Trans-Siberian Railway , which makes stops at (from west to east) Yurga, Taiga, Anzhero-Sudzhensk , Yaya , and Mariinsk.
