6 Days 5 Nights In Taiwan Itinerary Part 2

Our scoot flight at 5.55am, we manage to get hitch to airport with the discount I only pay $10.50 sgd. The Q was pretty long and we had our breakfast at the airport before departing. The flight wasn’t full and was pretty spacious. Flight duration is about 4.5 hrs. Finally arrive Taiwan, a very familiar country which I use to visit in a yearly basis after graduate from poly but break the trend in year 2016 and 2017. And I am back in 2018 just before Chinese new year.

Is pretty chilling in Taiwan in Feb, it was at 11 degree upon our arrival. The Taoyuan international airport has furnish and renovated to pretty good shape. After clearing the immigration, collected our baggage and we head out. You can get sim card on your left upon exit all the way to the end. Is the Taiwan Da Ge Da. For TWD 500 you able to get 7 days unlimited data. You can order in advance online via klook through shopback and collect over there. By doing so, you can earn credit and rebate from klook and shopback.

We walk to the left toward taking the airport express to take TSHR, as our first part of the trip we are going to Gaoxiong aka KaoHsuing. We had our TSHR pass for 3 days booked via klook through shopback again and we collect our tickets from the counter by telling the staff we going to Zuoying. This pass work similar like the JR pass. We just need to flash upon entering and existing. And before entering, we will need to go to counter to make reservation seats. Otherwise, we will need to go to free seating cabin. It was pretty rush for us and we missed the train that we reserved initially and we waited for another 20 mins to board. We Q early and lucky we manage to get seats as we split ourselves up. It seems like the last cabin has higher seats available.

Taking high speed rail you must not miss the chance of eating the lunchbox. They are selling at 100 TWD each. Located at the station near exit 2 right beside where you tap card. We bought the pork and chicken to try. Pork taste better. On the train they also do sell snacks and drinks but not necessary all train sell lunchboxes. Hence, is better to buy your lunchboxes beforehand.

After 2 hours ride, we arrived at the Zuoying station. We head to the counter to book our return train from zuoying to Taipei main station to ensure we reserve a seat.

From Zuoying we got to walk towards the train station to take the metro to our hotel. From R16 we transit at R10 and take to R05. Duration is about 30 mins.
