THSR Zuoying Station Visitor Information Centers

Hi speed rail (HSR) was the best addition to my trip this time in Taiwan. It opens up much of the rest of the country for even short visits. Taipei to Kaoshuing is just less than 2 hours depending on the train.nnFlying into Taoyuan airport, is actually already the second stop on the HSR journey, making it even quicker to enjoy a long weekend exploring Tainan or other cities.nnThe rail station is clean easy and efficient and functions in three languages, Mandarin, Japanese, English.

This review is many for the THRS in Zuoying Station. First time on the HSR anywhere and it was a pleasant trip for sure. Traveled from Taipei to Zuoying (Kaohsuing) In under 1h30m. The car ride along would have taken 3-4. Highly recommended for any travel. There are 3 classes of cars (business, reserved and non reserved). Not really sure what the real benefit of the business is but the reserved worked fine for us. You don’t have to fight and rush for a seat as you reserved seats for the family.nnImportant note: be prepared for a heck of a maze at the Taipei Main Station compared to Zuoying. There is a lot of movement (the hustle and bustle of train station), but Taipei is nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Signs are labeled pretty clear but just be prepared for the rat race kind of movement. Plan ahead and scope out where you need to go or get there a bit early as there is also shopping around.

Good station: MRT, High Speed Rail, Taiwan Rail, shops, restaurants, department store.

Well laid out station. You don't feel like needing to walk very far to from one place to the next (unlike Taipei hsr) and much less likely to get lost.nnConnected to the department store and MRT interchange. Ultra convenient

Very functional high speed rail Hub!
