Shalun Station

Narrow minded staff at both high speed rail and regular station endlessly fussed over a slightly oversize item, even though trains were running empty. Good rules are to avoid trouble, and sensible application of the rules helps avoid trouble. Here they used the rules to create and amplify trouble. Extremely bad experience.nAdditionally Shalun is as far as it gets from Tainan, making high speed rail a costly, not so fast alternative in most cases.

Taiwan railway station is just next to high speed rail Tainan station for walking distance. Every 20 to 30 minutes one train to Tainan train railway station.

Shalun station offers train services between the Tainan High Speed Rail Station and the Tainan Train Station. There are about two services during non-rush hours and about three otherwise, every hour. It takes about another 30 minutes to arrive at the Tainan Train Station, which locates at the center of the Tainan city.

This station is a intersection between local train and high speed railway.nYou can transit trains smoothly here on the junction.nThere are some shops like convenience store in the station for the rapid train.nStation staffs are so kindly n communicative.nJust only 2hrs to Taipei main statin.

Excellent link to Tainan railway station. Truly a reasonable number of trains which are matched to the arriving and departing high speed trains. Cheap ticket prices and very clean, efficient trains.
