Thescenery was pretty the same
Really excellent video and here's the thing about Taiwanese Traditional Chinese characters is that they can also be used to write out Cantonese despite having traditional Chinese Hong Kong text available for it. You would see this in the transportation sector in Hong Kong also Taiwan. One thing you don't see here in Taiwanese train stations is simplified text if you made one for mainland China Singapore
Such a fabulous video! You have recently visited my hometown Shanghai, and my favorite place Taiwan (where I spent eight years for bachelor and master). It's so wonderful that from my residence in Hamburg I can now reminisce about the roads I've traveled and the trains I've ridden in through your videos. I wish you safe travels and many more videos!
It looks like uks azuma class i believe
Subway stations look more european i like it
Subtitles is not on
Enjoy Taiwan while china doesn't invade them.
Damn this Mask society sucks 🙁
Chiayi Is a must-visit place if you want to go to Sun Moon Lake or Alishan National Park In Some Rare occasions It actually snows up there. I know Chiayi a lot because my grandpa was actually born in that city.
They do look identical to the Class 800 AT300 that is used on GWR and LNER and also identical to the other trains that Hitachi have built. Very nice train and wish that we had seats that would have turned.
I wouldn't travel to mainland China for all their tea. Taiwan, I would love to travel there.
The departure station looked so handicapped accessible! How wonderful!
As a taiwanese, Im grateful that you visited my country! Wish you enjoyed it! Btw did you also try our high speed rail? Hope you will make a video of it as well!
Can one park one's wheelchair in the coach section and hobble over to the Business Class? It would seem possible?
Absolutely stunning
Great that you visit Taiwan! Its a lovely place!
Great trip. Sadly the subtitle didn't show up. Overall great train and great facilities onboard.
Did you take the Taroko Express as well?

Travelled on this train when I was in Taiwan, the experience was pretty comfortable, loved the charging ports that were included in every seat! 🙂
