#Sign up for June Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 I was really amazed by their high-speed rail when I came to Taiwan this time! 🚄 It's like a portal that allows you to travel between cities! I got on the train from Taipei, closed my eyes, opened them, swiped my phone, and it took me almost an hour to get to Taichung. It was so fast! 🤯 The high-speed rail station is super clean and bright, and the signs are very clear, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. The seats in the carriage are super spacious and comfortable to sit on, and the most important thing is that it is super punctual! For travelers like us who think time is money, it is really the best choice! 👍 The most important thing is that as foreign tourists, we have exclusive high-speed rail ticket discounts, and sometimes there are even buy-one-get-one-free super discounts! You heard it right! This discount is really too generous, it directly saves half of the transportation fee, and the money saved can be used to eat many more bowls of braised pork rice and drink bubble milk tea! 🤣 * How to buy discount tickets? This kind of discount exclusive to foreign tourists can usually be found on major online travel platforms. As long as you are a foreigner visiting Taiwan for a short-term trip (with a non-Taiwanese passport), you can buy it. Remember to buy it online in advance, and then bring your voucher and passport to the window of the high-speed rail station to exchange for the physical ticket. Be sure to write this down, you can't buy this discount on site! 📝 * Pick up a local tour at the high-speed rail station, a lazy way to play! This time I used this trick! After taking the high-speed rail from Taipei to Taichung Station, I directly joined the booked one-day tour (local tour) at the station. The high-speed rail Taichung Station is super convenient, with many tourist counters. As soon as you get off the bus, there will be a special car to pick you up to attractions such as Cingjing Farm, Sun Moon Lake or Gaomei Wetland. It completely saves the trouble of researching bus routes by yourself, which is perfect for lazy people like me! After playing, you will be sent directly back to the high-speed rail station and take a bus back to Taipei. It's a perfect day! 💯 * Choosing the right bus will save you time! The high-speed rail has trains that stop at every station and only stop at major stations. Although the time difference is not too big, you can take a quick look when buying tickets. Choose the one with the least stops, which can be 10-15 minutes faster! * The little happiness of free seats! If you are not riding during long holidays or peak hours, you can also consider buying free seat tickets (usually the 10th-12th carriages), which will be a little cheaper than reserved seats. Seats are first come first served, but there are usually seats available! 😉 I sincerely recommend that everyone must experience the speed and convenience of the high-speed rail when they come to Taiwan, and with the super-kill discount, it is definitely the most cost-effective way to play! 🚀 #Taichung #TaipeiHigh-SpeedRail #TaichungTravel #TaipeiTravel

February 2025. Off to Taiwan. Taiwan has many good things about it, such as ① good public safety, ② friendly to Japan, ③ delicious food, and ④ closeness! And the Taiwan Lantern Festival, which is held once a year. This year it was held in Taoyuan City, where the airport is located. This is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime! They are friendly to foreigners, and the Ministry of Tourism of Taiwan gave us free souvenirs and tickets to watch the stage. There were also food stalls, and it really felt like a festival. It was fun! It will be held in Taibao City next year. Plan your trip accordingly. #Taiwan #0yentripFebruary2025

The annual Lantern Festival is here again This time it is held in Taoyuan. Of course, it will be crowded on holidays. 2/22 The second to last day, I went there, so I thought there would be a lot of people. I checked all kinds of guides. Finally, if you still don't understand, ask threads Just go to Glory Outlets and park your car based on what others have shared. Sure enough, when we arrived at 16:00, there were still more than 700 parking spaces. No need to take the bus to other stations to transfer to the MRT This year's lantern festival is very beautiful and it also cooperates with Pokémon I followed the crowd and got cute Snorlax stickers and commemorative cards. The Colossal Titan is very handsome and can also smoke There are many bird works in various competition lanterns. I only realized it was the secondary light when I saw the dragon light show As beautiful as the blue magpie at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall that year Fortunately, I managed to visit this year's lantern festival at the last minute. A lot of harvest 📍Address: A18 Taoyuan High Speed ​​Rail Station A19 Taoyuan Sports Park Station #2月好去2025 #2025台灣灯節

Take advantage of the night without rain and walk...feel the end of the New Year 😆 #新北灯会

These are all excellent works. It is a very good Taiwan Lantern Festival.

Take public transportation. Come on weekdays. There will be less traffic jams.

The Lantern Festival is almost over, everyone should hurry up 😆 It takes at least 3-4 hours to walk around the whole area. There are also vendors where you can eat and drink. It's so fun.

Taoyuan IKEA restaurant, delicious salmon salad!
