台湾之旅 ♡ Taiwan Trip, Day 1

4th October 2013, Friday.

Read more about our 10d9n Taiwan trip!


& we finally arrived at Taoyuan Airport!


We will be spending our first 2days in Kaohsiung. So we need to take a bus from Taoyuan airport to their High Speed Rail (HSR) Station. The bus we took was 705 as stated it goes to HSR Taoyuan Station.

The bus bell, damn old school.

And we reached! 

We booked our tickets online from HERE. And collection to be done there. There's about 10-35% discount if you purchase online 28days in advance. Nonetheless, you can also choose to purchase on the spot if you're afraid you might miss the timing. For us, we are just afraid that there will be a long queue and since there's discount, why not! HAHA.



So we are heading to Kaohsiung 高雄 which is at Zuoying HSR Station.

Their HSR are really ON TIME so if you miss your train, you have to buy the next ticket and which means, pay for another ticket, no exchange/refund.




From Taoyuan HSR to Zuoying HSR is about 1h 30mins. So we brought our travelling pillow out to rest!
We bought it at Sg's Comic Connection! Love the button infront so the pillow wont fall off! :D 




Big Big Hello Kitty!!

And we reach Zuoying 左營 HSR Station.

Our token (like SG's standard ticket) to take Metro (SG's train).


On the Metro!


And we reached Formosa Boulevard Station which is the nearest station (in Kaohsiung) nearest to our Hotel.

Love the ceilings of this station.



And we reached our Hotel! 

Kindness Hotel - Jhong Jheng
No. 112, Zhōngzhèng 4th Rd, 
Qianjin District, Kaohsiung City,
Taiwan 801

This hotel costed us about SGD 79/night including breakfast. Our cheapest hotel throughout our 10days trip!









Breakfast coupon for the next day morning. (:






After resting for half and hour or so at our hotel, we left to take bus.
