HSR Trains
Traveling on Taiwan’s High-Speed Rail (HSR) offers an exceptionally quick and convenient way to explore the island, linking its major urban centers in record time. The trains are equipped with modern amenities and comfortable seating, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey for all passengers.
An integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks is what makes high-speed rail (HSR) significantly faster than traditional rail. In spite of the fact that there are no universal standards, lines with speeds above 250 km/h (155 mph) or lines upgraded to 200 km/h (124 mph) are widely considered high-speed. The first high-speed rail system was developed in Japan in 1964, known as the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.
Ground-based high-speed rail is the fastest and most efficient method for commercial transportation. There are over 37,900 km (23,500 mi) of high-speed rail on China's networks, making up over two-thirds of the world's total.
