FIRST TIME Riding Taiwan’s FASTEST Bullet Train 🇹🇼 (Taipei to Taichung)
Taiwan High-Speed Rail: Taipei to Taichung
Rita's first Taiwan bullet train ride from Taipei to Taichung was surprisingly delightful! Friendly locals, comfy train, delicious food – a memorable journey.
I have taken Taiwan's Bullet Train for the first time to go from Taipei to Taichung and oh wow! The high speed railway train is indeed incredibly fast at over 300km/h. The train itself is so spacious and clean and in this video I'm exploring everything that the train has to offer. The best part is: I've made a Taiwanese friend, who gave me a surprise present and I absolutely didn't expect that generosity from a stranger but this is yet another example of the friendly Taiwanese people.
