Until this rail line opened, the only way from the airport to Taipei was by bus or car along the highway.
Opened in 2017, the Taoyuan Airport MRT is a railway connecting the airport with Taipei Main Station. Taking the express direct train, you can reach the heart of Taipei in about forty minutes.
Looking out the window, you can see that this line cuts across a plateau — factory rooftops, housing complexes, and now and then, a pond catching the light on its surface.
For many travelers, these forty minutes are simply time spent passing through Taoyuan. But if you get off at a station along the way and continue on by bus or taxi, you can reach a Hakka town, a military dependents' village, or a Southeast Asian market.
This line also connects to the high-speed rail's Taoyuan Station, serving as a gateway for journeys onward to Tainan or Kaohsiung.
On the day you leave, it might be worth heading to the airport a little early, and getting off one stop before your destination.
Beneath these rails, the story of this land continues still.
