    Excellent public transport hub
    I had taken the HSR from Taipei to HSR Taichung. The HSR connects with the TRA and local MRT. I've been blown away with the public transport in Taipei and Taichung. Everything has been so well planned out. I used the HSR hub for the MRT to and from my hotel and to visit attractions. Also, bus connections to other destinations like Lukang and Sun Moon Lake. The Tourist Info desk was so helpful in providing me up to date transport info. I wish every train station I walked in to was as modernised and efficient as this one.

    Well equipped and wide variety of food options
    Taichung HSR is clean, easy to navigate and has a wide variety of food options. Clear signages are available in English. If the seating area in the station is insufficient, there is plenty of seats right outside the station as well. The toilets are sufficiently clean too.

    Nice station, comfortable trains, great locals....
    Unlike major cities like Taipei & Kaohsiung, take note that the THSR going to Taichung DO not stop at Taichung City Centre but instead at a different THSR station - away from the city centre itself. You need to connect to the local train from here to go to city centre ( Taichung Station) , which is 4 stops away ( about 20 mins). The THSR trains are comfortable, clean & have some nice shops. It is easy to navigate this train station as it is not that big. The station staff are very friendly & always so helpful, if you ever need their help. Or you can ask any locals. The many locals we met throughout our trip in various cities/ situations are all so nice, so friendly & so helpful.

A quick and easy way to travel from north to south (and vice versa) of taiwan. There is economy and business class, the latter offering “free” drinks and snacks, and electrical charging

We took the train from Taipei to Taichung for a day trip to experience the High Speed Rail. On the way there we managed to get reserved seats, but heading back to Taipei there weren't any available so we had to fight with the hordes in the unreserved carriages. Taichung Station itself is quite modern and efficient, but located a long way from the town centre.

Using the HSR will save you alot of time on travelling. However do check the trains going to Taichung some are faster then the others due to the stops they make. Some HSR trains make more stops while others only make certain stops thus its faster.

Advise to purchase the tickets online so that you are ensure the the time and seats. However no worries if you decide to cancel or change the time. Just go to the counter you can exchange or cancel the tickets but all these must be done prior to the scheduled date and time

Took it from Taipei sdn got to Taichung in under 1 hour!
For people who plans to travel around Taiwan (West coast), the HSR is one of your must use. At the same time, do take note of the discount for early birds!

It's not first time taking High Speed, but wanna share here because I feel the people working here are really nice and they are really good to take train on time. They don't delay even 1min unless there is something wrong.. but when I come here for my business trip always taking train from north to south and from south to north.. I strongly recommend this speed system who are coming to Taiwan.

This is one of the bigger HSR station and well equipped with eateries, pastries shops, restaurants, etc. Lots of place to sit down to rest or get a bite while waiting for the trains.

Since I came to Taiwan, I took high speed train several times. Compared with Japanese Shinkansen, it is cheaper, but practical and comfortable. Taichung high speed train station is a little bit far from Taichung station, but easily accessible by train. At this Station, there are several restaurants, fast food, coffee shop etc. Even you go earlier, you don’t feel bored.

The Fast Speed Railway Station is not in the downtown but southwest of it. You have to take bus, taxi or drive or walk there. Nevertheless, it is quite easy to get there and Taichung buses do not charge for the first 10km.
高鐵站不在市中心,而是在西南方向。你必須乘坐公共汽車,出租車或步行或開車到那裡。 不過,到達那裡很方便,台中巴士前10公里不收費。
The station got everything you want and quite a clean and nice station. There are few good restaurants in the station. We used the station to ride to Chiayi and back on the same day.
