One of the reasons we decided to visit Kaohsiung was to try the high speed train which the locals call HSR or 台灣高鐵. The one-way fare from Taipei to Kaoshiung is NT$1,480 (RM160) and it just took 1.5 hours to cover 400 Km. The maximum speed I noticed on the digital displace was 294 Km/Hr. The ride was comfortable and the scenery along the way also made the trip interesting. Food items and tit-bits are sold by uniformed staff with trolley much like Airasia flights. Kaohsiung
Train Station is utra-modern and is comparable to our KLIA.

KAOHSIUNG My impression of Kaohsiung: a city full of motorbikes. Well, probably not as "bad" as in some of the towns in West Malaysia!
