Taoyuan High-Speed Rail Station Introduction
The Taoyuan HSR Station, located just about 10 kilometers from Taoyuan International Airport, plays a crucial role as a transportation hub due to its geographical advantage, acting as the "gateway to the airport." It efficiently connects foreign travelers and Taiwanese travelers entering or exiting the country to the Greater Taipei area and central and southern Taiwan. In recent years, the number of passengers at Taoyuan HSR Station has been steadily increasing, with an average of over 30,000 people entering and exiting daily. By 2024, the annual passenger volume is expected to exceed 27 million, highlighting its significant role in transportation. The Taoyuan HSR Station is conveniently linked to external transportation, featuring major highways such as National Highway No. 2 and Taiwan Provincial Highway No. 31. Additionally, there are express bus services connecting travelers between Taoyuan, Chungli, and the HSR station. Furthermore, other bus services, including Ubus, Taoyuan Bus, Chungli Bus, and Taiwan Tour Bus, operate to Taoyuan International Airport, Taoyuan City Hall, Taoyuan Baseball Stadium, and over ten other routes. With the opening of the Taoyuan MRT Airport Line, the transportation functions of Taoyuan HSR Station have been further enhanced, allowing passengers to purchase tickets and transfer to the MRT within the station, significantly reducing travel time and alleviating the heavy passenger flow. Recently, the leisure amenities in the Qingpu HSR District have significantly improved. The 30,000-ping Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium, the multipurpose ecological park - Qing Tang Yuan, and the first American-style outdoor shopping mall in Taiwan - Huatai Premium Outlet have all been completed. Additionally, the area features up to 30 parks and a 10-kilometer-long circular bike path, making it a preferred destination for many cycling enthusiasts, with the Taoyuan HSR Station becoming an excellent midway stop for replenishing energy. Besides being a hotspot for cyclists, Taoyuan HSR Station is also beloved by many photography enthusiasts, with its architectural design concept inspired by "lanterns." The building employs large glass facades and 8-meter steel columns, illuminated by lighting, resembling a glowing lantern, which conveys the imagery of "illuminating Taoyuan and looking toward the world," making it a worthwhile visit.
