Explore Taiwan — Modern Trains, Timeless Sights & Night-Market Magic

Sabatex Global — Travel Beyond Borders, Live Beyond Limits

Introduction

Taiwan is a rare travel balance: cutting-edge infrastructure and warm, living tradition. Whether you ride the lightning-fast High Speed Rail (THSR) or meander through a centuries-old temple, Taiwan feels intimate and effortless — ideal for both the purposeful traveller and the curious soul.

Modern Trains — Travel as a Delight

Taiwan’s trains are not just transport — they are part of the experience. Reliable, clean and punctual, they turn transit into discovery.

High-Speed Rail (THSR)

Connects Taipei and Kaohsiung in roughly 1.5 hours — perfect for building multi-city itineraries without wasting time. Comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and stations linked to local transit make THSR the fastest way to explore the island.

Taiwan Railway (TRA)

TRA lines favour scenic coastlines and mountain passes. Choose slow coastal routes when you want views — cliffs, ocean and rice-field panoramas that feel cinematic.

Taipei Metro (MRT) & EasyCard

Taipei’s MRT is clean, efficient and safe. Grab an EasyCard (shared by metro and buses) and move freely across the city — temples, night markets and museums within a few taps.

Must-See Attractions

Taipei 101

Iconic skyline views; visit at sunset for a city that shifts from day life into glittering night.

Elephant Mountain

A short hike with a panoramic vantage that photographers love — perfect for sunrise or sunset.

Longshan Temple

One of Taiwan’s most atmospheric temples: incense, devotion and cultural depth in the heart of Taipei.

Sun Moon Lake

A serene lake framed by mountains — cycling the lakeside is meditative and beautifully photographed.

Alishan

Home to sunrise cloud seas and ancient Cypress paths — the old mountain railway is a bucket-list experience.

Taroko Gorge

Marble canyons, turquoise rivers and dramatic walking trails: nature at its most impressive.

Jiufen & Old Streets

Lanterned alleys, mountain tea houses and skyviews — Jiufen is a compact film set of nostalgia and culinary delights.

Night Markets & Street Food — Taiwan’s Heartbeat

The night markets are where Taiwan’s heart beats loudest. They are communal, joyful and unforgettable.

Shilin Night Market (Taipei)

Large, lively and full of classics: bubble tea, oyster omelettes and grilled treats.

Fengjia Night Market (Taichung)

One of Asia’s largest, with endless food stalls and local innovations.

Must-try: bubble tea (original here), beef noodle soup, oyster omelet, stinky tofu (for bold palates), and flame-torched beef cubes.

Practical Travel Tips

  • EasyCard: buy at the airport or MRT — it works on trains, buses and convenience stores.
  • Language: English is widely understood in urban areas; basic Mandarin helps for deeper connections.
  • Weather: bring a light jacket—Taiwan’s climate varies with elevation and season.
  • Transport bookings: use THSR for long distances and TRA for scenic routes; book peak tickets in advance.
