Rail travel on Taiwan Railways provides direct, city-center to regional-station connections with predictable departure times and easier station access compared with flights. Buses serve the corridor with more stops and longer journey times but can be slightly cheaper. Flights are not practical for this short coastal route and require transfers to and from airports. For Taipei to Houlong, regional rail offers the most practical city-to-city transport option.
