The TRA train is most efficient. For scenic views, book a seat on the left side when heading south toward Taitung.

Q: Is it possible to see the coastline between Hualien and Taitung by train?

Yes, the train runs along the coast. For more flexibility, renting a car or scooter is better for stopping at hidden beaches.

Direct buses are limited. Most travelers prefer the train, but intercity buses exist if you prefer a cheaper, slower route.

Q: Should I book my Hualien-Taitung train tickets in advance?
