I would have thought it would be somewhere in China.

My last meal with my suppliers was on Wednesday afternoon lunch. We went to a chicken restaurant

Located in a secluded place and a tiny lane, easy to miss it if not for this sign

I've taken their trains a few times cos i don't like to take private hire car as much as possible. Appreciate the legroom on a train.
I've took their short distance train also, which has plastic seats like a MRT train.

For the HSR price different between business class and standard, the business class actually quite value for money.

Having to go to the southern city of Kaohsiung, I had to take a taxi to the Taoyuan High Speed Train Station to catch a train to Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung.

 

Another option is to take the MRT from airport to Taoyuan HSR station.
