THSR Bullet Trains
Without any doubt, if your destination is located somewhere on the west coast of Taiwan, you can't find a more comfortable way to get there than a THSR train. Although the high-speed railway in Taiwan was built not so long ago, it's already about 350 km (220 mi) long and is constantly expanding. The high-speed trains that run along the railway line are rather similar to the world-famous Shinkansen in Japan. And we are not talking only about the appearance. THSR trains also provide unmatched comfort during the journey, equipped with 180-degree rotatable seating in both travel classes and offering electric sockets and free snacks in Business Class.
