I enjoyed the scenery in this video. It brought back a very happy memory for me. Many years ago, I traveled this route on the regular train with my girlfriend. I was going down to Kaoshiung for a job interview. Besides enjoying the bright green countryside and the traditional architecture one thing that really surprised us was how huge the bananas were in Taiwan. They can pick them when they are yellow, unlike the bananas available in the States that are picked when they are green before being shipped to the States. Ours are much smaller. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful memory of my youth and my lifelong sweetheart, who has unfortunately passed away. Looking forward to your upcoming vlogs. Take care and don't forget how lucky the two of you are to have each other and to be experiencing this fascinating time in your lives. ♥️🙏🏽🌎
I remember when I was young travelling with my mother on the train. When the train stops you could open the window and lean out to buy a bento box from people outside. I loved to bento boxes. The toilet has only a whole straight down to the track. It was long time ago. Now I live in Sweden ;)
I think the one u mentioned could buy a bento box from people outside was traditional train system, which was totally different from HSR. But unfortunately, there’s no more traditional train in the traditional train system, you just can see the electric train for instead in the traditional train system (the Taiwan Railways)!
I am a hongkonger that moved to Taichung live since 2017. Excluding the terminal stations Zuoying and Nangang, I think all taiwan high speed trains will stop at Taichung, Taipei, Banqiao! I think if you take TRA from Taipei to Kaohsiung Xinzuoying station (next to zuoying hsr) cost around NT$800 (half the price) or something, and takes about 5 hours from north to south area which is much longer than your ride! But anyways, enjoy your time in Taiwan.
Wow! Trains are amazing; I still love them. Traveling by train means seeing nature, people, cities and churches, rivers - in essence it is a journey through life.#popularairtravel
Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing video! Taiwan never stops to amaze me. Not only is it an inspirational country, that my country (Czechia) has so much to learn from, not only do they have amazing, truly high-speed trains, the views from the train are stunning, too. I am still a bit iffy about flying (I've flewn before, however, that was a long time ago, when global warming didn't seem as serious), but if I ever fly again, Taiwan will be the destination. Much love to the inspiring, brave and truly progressive Taiwanese nation. For me and many other Czech citizens, Taiwan is the only true China. 🇨🇿❤️🇹🇼
You missed one feature of the bullet train; the seats can swivel around 180 degrees to face the other direction. It is activated by the foot pedal under the seats.
Thanks for your video. I grew up loving the train rides in Taiwan. The best ones were the sleeper cars. I really miss looking out the window, drinking the hot tea, and the best foods were sold on the trains. Thanks for sharing your ride!
The Taiwanese are really smart to invest into Japanese railway into their country. These trains will serve for a long time before a replacement is needed
HSR Taichung Station is the only place where you can see three kinds of railway systems(traditional railway, high speed rail & local metro system) on the ground at the same time.
It was a wisedecision to visit China BEFORE going to Taiwan. After this clip you should seriously consider avoinding any further trip to the socalled People's Republic of China.
Worsening politics: the sister series trains in Japan (700 series shinkansen) are mearing the end of their lives meaning that parts will soon be hard to come by. Allows CRRC or even Alstom to overtake for replacement vehicles.
Zuoying is an administrative district in Kaohsiung. Originally, the high speed train was planned to be extended to downtown Kaohsiung which I believe will be named as Kaohsiung. But that plan was abandoned.

That's so sweet of you. My condolences for your wife's passing. Taiwan will always welcome you back.
Yes, that is a very sweet memory. Very sorry about your partner. Thanks so much John, take care and stay healthy.
Taipei - Kaohsiung... Here we go!!!
Let's do it!!!
I remember when I was young travelling with my mother on the train. When the train stops you could open the window and lean out to buy a bento box from people outside. I loved to bento boxes. The toilet has only a whole straight down to the track. It was long time ago. Now I live in Sweden ;)
That would be awesome if you could still get bento boxes this way. Usually you just buy them inside the train stations before getting on the train.

I missed Taiwan I was there in 1990 for a month enjoy the country

Interesting train video! Was planning to travel to Taiwan this year. Stay safe ❤🇨🇦🙏🌈
Thank you! You too!
I like this Train 🚆 very much
Thanks so much!
Wow, such a spectacular ride! 👍👍👍😀
Thanks so much Judy!

Nice!!! Very high quality videography as well. Thanks.
Japanese shinkanse technology
It is the only Shinkansen outside of Japan.
Awesome 👍
Thanks so much!
Thanks and lovely countryside, and will take this train on my next visit to Taiwan. Warm and friendly people...
The Taiwanese are really smart to invest into Japanese railway into their country. These trains will serve for a long time before a replacement is needed
awesome!! Faster than a typical Bart train I go on in the Bay Area.
They're very functionally designed - no frills
Awesome ❤❤❤
beautiful train movie!
Nice train ride.they don't have USA. 🤩👍
Taiwan
How did you feel on the high speed train?
I used to take bus from Taipei to Kaohsiung back in the days and it took about 5 hours or so.
I love our HSR too! But I mean it is quite expensive...
my go to transport when I return home to go south
It's our first choice too
Nice
Taiwan 🇹🇼

台湾的车头和日本的好像 就是车身颜色不一样
Yes they have different colours, and the nose has a wider design in Taiwan (built for the tunnels)
A very developed country and better than China because it's original China.
It was a wisedecision to visit China BEFORE going to Taiwan. After this clip you should seriously consider avoinding any further trip to the socalled People's Republic of China.
300 km/hr...they stop going that fast because of insurance cost.
kwxj61b No, it’s just because of scheduling of train. It’s not necessary for every train to run at full speed all the time.
Canada's trains are 100 years old.....
Hey guys can you put biggers letters or speak, cause I read too much allrready
Sorry about that Carlos, we will make the text larger next time!
Worsening politics: the sister series trains in Japan (700 series shinkansen) are mearing the end of their lives meaning that parts will soon be hard to come by.

How come the station in Kaohsiung is called Zuoying station?
Zuoying is an administrative district in Kaohsiung. Originally, the high speed train was planned to be extended to downtown Kaohsiung which I believe will be named as Kaohsiung. But that plan was abandoned.
Tainan comes before Kaoshiung.
Well, that was strange!
Is it under the control of chaina?
You meant China? No, Taiwan and China are different countries. China never ever control Taiwan even for one second.
@@heavencrash22 Long live Taiwan R.o.C 🎊🇹🇼✌🏻🐻❤️🐉
The people’s republic of China (mainland China) is different than the republic of China (Taiwan)
China is China, Taiwan is Taiwan. China is of communism, Taiwan is of democracy. Taiwan has never been a part of China,
This is Japanese shinkansen train. Taiwan payed through their nose to get this, but now hardly being used. Classic case of white elephant project
i think you guys need anew phone, thats some nasty damage you got there.
Yes we do!
China has the best railways... But I hate the idea that we have to use ID card to buy tickets.
Speed??
300KM per hour.
What about covid19?.. It is spreading more faster than the speed of this train
Taiwan's situation is stable.
Every one is mandatory to wear mask when you by train bus ..etc
Lol Fuxinghao is a lot better, good try tho
india help
welcome to China.😁
Go to see a doctor.
