Key THSR routes in Taiwan
THSR's busiest trips follow Taiwan's western high speed rail corridor from the Taipei area toward central and southern cities. Popular city pairs include Taipei to Taichung, Taipei to Tainan, Taipei to Zuoying for Kaohsiung, and Banqiao to Taichung. These routes suit intercity travel between major business, university, and regional centers.
For shorter trips, THSR also links Taipei with Taoyuan and Hsinchu, while central and southern segments connect Taichung with Chiayi, Tainan, and Zuoying. The line serves dedicated high speed rail stations, many of which connect with local rail, metro, bus, or taxi services. THSR departures vary by stopping pattern, so check whether the selected train is direct or calls at more intermediate stations.

THSR Tickets and Rail Network in Taiwan
THSR, Taiwan High Speed Rail, is the operator of Taiwan's high speed rail line linking the island's main western cities. THSR services use electric multiple-unit high speed trains with Standard, Business, and Non-Reserved seating depending on the departure and fare type. The line connects Nangang, Taipei, Banqiao, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, and Zuoying for Kaohsiung. THSR focuses on intercity travel rather than local stopping services, with frequent departures on the north-south corridor. Rail Monsters supports online booking for selected THSR tickets, with schedules and ticket details shown during search.
