Visiting Taoyuan
Taoyuan sits on Taiwan's western rail corridor between Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. The city has two main intercity rail points: Taoyuan HSR Station on the Taiwan High Speed Rail line and Taoyuan TRA Station on the conventional Taiwan Railways network. This split gives Taoyuan both high-speed access across western Taiwan and local rail coverage for nearby cities.
Services from Taoyuan include Taiwan High Speed Rail trains at Taoyuan HSR Station, TRA intercity and local trains at Taoyuan TRA Station, and an airport rail connection between Taoyuan International Airport, Taoyuan HSR Station, and Taipei. Passengers should check the exact train station when buying Taoyuan train tickets, because the HSR station and the TRA station are in different parts of the city.
Rail routes from Taoyuan run north toward Taipei and Nangang, south along the high-speed corridor toward Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, and Zuoying, and locally through TRA stations toward Zhongli, Banqiao, and Hsinchu. Book trains from and to Taoyuan online at Rail Monsters.
