High Speed Rail in Taiwan

Above picture is taken at High Speed Rail Tainan station.

If we talk about public transportation system in Taiwan, we have two major successes:
MRT (Metro Rapid Transportation) and HSR (High Speed Rail)

The train of HSR can reach speed level upto 300 Km/Hr, which means we only need to spend 2.5 hours
to travel from the northest station to the southest station in Taiwan.
It definitely brings more and more conveniences to business man and traveller.

Tainan station is the second southest station of HSR.

And in Tainan station, there exists normal train system to connect HSR station with other smaller train station. Below is the normal train which connects Yongkang station with Tainan HSR station. 

Here, we can take a look at the modern-designed shape of HSR train.
It is said that such train kills many birds during its trip everyday. As we can see something disgusting attached to the locomotive (shown in this picture), I wonder if that is blood from one or a few innocent
bird?

Below picture is taken at HSR Tainan station too, but we can see the color of the sky is somehow different. This is because there is a hurricane approaching Taiwan so that the chemistry of sky changes.

During the night/evening time, different light sources show up inside HSR station. I start to feel that I'm in the future because everything seems to be beautiful and stunning to me. It's just like this is a space station, not a land vehicle station.

 
Travelling by HSR, we can usually see Japanese people.
Typically they're here in Taiwan for business trip. When you're near a Japanese, you can feel the difference between a Japanese and a Taiwanese: They're more serious, deligent and proud.
As you can see, there are two Japanese using their laptops for their works during travelling.

Next time when you're in Taiwan, be sure to take HSR as one of your travelling tool.
Sadly the ticket price is not cheap, but it is worth your time if you want to try one of the most advanced technology in Taiwan.
