So, when I arrive at Taoyuan Airport (near to Taipei) I have to take their High Speed Rail (HSR) to the Kaohsiung in the south. But before that I need to get to the Taoyuan HSR Station, by bus Follow the sign to go to the bus station at B1 level, just outside the glass door go to number 12 kiosk for bus number 705 and pay just $30 Inside the bus Train ticket $1,980 (non-reserve seat cost $1290, standard reserve seat costs $1330) from Taoyuan station to Zuoying Station (this is the name of the HSR station for Kaohsiung) Here comes the train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vKVaVpHMl0 Inside the train ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dleodleo Twincharged December 19, 2019 Share December 19, 2019 Hi, Just to share that there's a new bus 1961service from Ximen to Taoyuan airport at NT100 per pax. Double check the bus availability for early morning. I took the bus at 4.40am from Ximen bus stop. Journey around 40 mins at non peak hours. Better to be at the bus stop earlier. See below for actual bus stop location. Btw, not my fingers, belongs to the airport bus staff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
