Question 1

Is taking the HSR from Taoyuan to Sanxiantai Arch Bridge a good idea?

Accepted Answer

To take the High Speed Rail (HSR) from downtown Taoyuan to Sanxiantai Arch Bridge, HSR is expensive and slow. From the earliest departure at 06:49 to the latest at 22:35, there are up to 58 high-speed rail from Taoyuan to Zuoying each day. Assuming you depart from Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, you may walk or take a bus—if available—to Taoyuan HSR station. Including walking to the platform, buying a ticket, and waiting for the train, it takes at least 15 minutes. Then, take a 84-111-minute (101 min on average) HSR ride from Taoyuan Station to Zuoying HSR Station. The ticket price is NT$1,330 per person, followed by a 10-minute walk to exit the station, wait for a ride at the taxi stand, and after a trip of about 300 minutes with a fare of NT$7,500, you will arrive at your destination at Sanxiantai Arch Bridge (Chenggong Township, Taitung County). The entire journey, including transfers, takes a total of 7 hours and 6 minutes. Assuming one person traveling alone, the total transportation cost is NT$8,830. In contrast, if you use Tripool for a door-to-door private car service, it will only cost NT$8,170, and the journey takes 7 hours and 2 minutes. Choosing the HSR over a private charter will not only cost at least an extra NT$660 in fares but also waste an additional 5 minutes on transfers and waiting. Book with Tripool now!

Question 2

Is it advisable to rent a car and drive from Taoyuan to Sanxiantai Arch Bridge?

Accepted Answer

If you have a driver's license, do not mind driving yourself, and you do not need to use the travel time to rest in the car, there are about 35 rental car companies, such as 捷安得興業, 飛騰租賃, 世珈租賃, available in the Zhongli District, Taoyuan City area. Typically, car rentals are billed by the day. A small sedan like a Toyota Corolla or Ford Fiesta costs around NT$1500 per day, while a 9-seater van like a Hyundai Staria or Volkswagen Caravelle starts at NT$4500 per day. Extra costs such as fuel (approx. NT$3/km), eTag tolls (approx. NT$1/km), roadside parking (approx. NT$40/hour), insurance, and potential fines are not included. Most rental agreements specify a daily mileage limit of 200-400 km, with surcharges ranging from NT$100 to NT$2,000 for exceeding it. Since the vast majority of rental companies do not offer one-way rentals, assuming you make a same-day round trip between Taoyuan (Zhongli District) and Sanxiantai Arch Bridge, the estimated cost for a sedan is NT$4400 or NT$7400 for a 9-seater van. This is, of course, cheaper than taking a taxi. But if you only need a one-way trip and will return a day or more later, then renting a car is very inconvenient. Moreover, the rental location may be some distance from your home/office/starting point, and you must adhere to their business hours for pickup and return. The rental process itself is tedious, often taking an extra 30 minutes for contracts and vehicle inspection. You may even need to refuel the car yourself before returning. If you encounter a dishonest operator, you risk being hit with various unjustified charges upon return.

Question 3

Would it be economical to take a taxi from Taoyuan to Sanxiantai Arch Bridge?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to take a taxi directly, in the Taoyuan City area, you can use apps to hail a cab from 55688 Taiwan Taxi, Uber, Line Go, Yoxi, etc., and if you cannot hail a cab on the street, you can also consider calling taxi fleets, such as 520計程車, 168計程車, 中壢上好計程車 to try to book a ride. Based on the meter, the estimated fare is between NT$8,110 and 9,700, but you could save up to NT$1,500 by booking with Tripool instead. However, when considering the return trip, in Taitung County there are only about 350 licensed taxis. This is about 5% of the number of taxis in Taoyuan City, and its density is just 0.2% of the Taipei/New Taipei metro area, making it 410 times more difficult to hail a cab there. Considering all factors, Tripool is your best choice for traveling from Taoyuan to Sanxiantai Arch Bridge in terms of both price and service quality.
