Taipei to Tainan Destination Reviews

K
Booking the train was super easy and quick. The only information for all those who want to book a train ticket here. The document you get is not a ticket and you have to follow the instructions so that you can get the right ticket for the train. You will also need to collect it at the station before your journey. The train is super comfortable, lots of legroom and there is free Wi-Fi on board.
