第一次來台灣、想在幾天內把北中南玩過一輪,高鐵通常是最省時的那條線——這篇用旅客的角度,把站點、買票、外國人專屬票券和早鳥怎麼搶一次講清楚。
台灣高鐵(THSR)是縱貫西部的高速鐵路,從台北到高雄左營最快約 1 小時 45 分。對只有幾天、卻想台北台中台南高雄都踩一下的人來說,它幾乎是預設的移動方式。真正會讓人卡住的,其實不是搭車本身,而是「哪個站離市區近、用哪種方式買票最順、外國旅客能不能省」這幾件事,以下就從這裡開始。
目前高鐵有 12 個車站,由北到南是南港、台北、板橋、桃園、新竹、苗栗、台中、彰化、雲林、嘉義、台南、左營。旅客最常用的是台北、台中、左營(轉高雄市區)這幾個大站。要提醒的是:不少高鐵站並不在市中心,例如台南站在歸仁、彰化站在田中,通常還得再轉台鐵、接駁車或捷運才進得了市區;左營站則是南台灣終點,直接轉高雄捷運就能進城。安排行程時,記得把「高鐵站到市區」的最後一段路一起算進去,這是很多人第一次抓錯的時間。實際車次與時刻依當日班表而定,訂票前請以高鐵官網「時刻表與票價查詢」為準(即時資料需以官方公告為準)。
| Line | Approximate Travel Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Taipei → Taichung | About 1 hour | Express trains are faster; trains that stop at every station are slower |
| Taipei → Tainan | About 1.5 hours | From Tainan Station you'll need to transfer again to reach the city center |
| Taipei → Zuoying (Kaohsiung) | About 1 hour 45 minutes at the fastest | Transfer to the Kaohsiung MRT at Zuoying to reach the city center |
上車前值得先搞懂座位種類,搞懂就不會買錯。Standard Car Reserved Seat是一般旅客最常買的,事先訂位、有指定座位,早鳥折扣也只適用這種票;Non-Reserved Seat不指定座位、當天到現場買、隨到隨搭,適合行程還沒確定的人,但只能當日於車站購買,不提供預購或異地取票;Business Car座位較寬、附餐飲與服務,價格較高,屬對號座需事先訂位。另外,若你持有已開通「自動加值」功能的悠遊聯名卡或一卡通聯名卡,可以直接感應進站搭乘自由座車廂,很方便;一般未開通此功能的悠遊卡則不適用,細節以官方說明為準。
四種買票方式,外國旅客怎麼買最順
For foreign travelers, the most practical options are booking on the official website and using the T-EX app—both of which have an English interface.官網網路訂票可查時刻、選位、線上刷卡付款,付款後到車站或超商取票,開放預售期最長約為乘車日前 29 天(含當日),最晚可在乘車日前一天預訂,實際仍以官網公告為準。T-EX 行動購票 App 支援訂票、付款、手機取票與分票,全程在手機完成、不用印票,很適合行動族,也能買到全票、孩童票、敬老票、大學生優惠票等票種。臨時要搭或想買自由座,直接到車站售票機或人工櫃檯即可;此外高鐵也和 7-ELEVEN、全家、萊爾富、OK 四大超商合作,可在店內購票或取票,但每張車票需另付手續費(來回票算 2 張),確切金額以現場公告為準。旺季(連假、週末)大站排隊人潮多,建議提早到站,或乾脆先在網路或 App 訂好對號座。
外國旅客專屬票券與省錢方式
如果你短時間內要多次搭高鐵,外國旅客專屬的高鐵周遊券(THSR Pass)可能比單程票划算。它是限持外國護照的短期入境旅客購買的優惠票券,持中華民國護照或有效居留證(ARC)者不適用。常見有三種:3-Day Pass從指定第一天起連續 3 天不限次數搭乘;Flexible 2-Day Pass在指定的 7 天期間內任選 2 天不限次數搭乘,適合行程較鬆散的人;Foreign Traveler Single Ticket則是一般單程對號座、外國旅客可享折扣,適合只搭一兩趟的人。官網有標示各版本的成人/兒童票價,但票價可能調整,購買前請以高鐵官方周遊券頁面最新公告為準,本文不列固定金額以免誤導。
周遊券可在官方周遊券網站或合作旅行社(含部分 OTA 平台)先行購買,取得訂單號與兌換碼後,訂單效期為付款日起 90 天;兌換時需持兌換碼、護照正本與短期入境證明文件,到高鐵車站售票櫃檯領取實體票券,旅行日期須在兌換後的一定期間內指定,實際規則以官網為準。想省事的旅客,也可以透過票券平台直接購買外國人專屬高鐵票券,到台灣再兌換。如果你還在比較怎麼買,也可以先看我們的Transport Guide裡的其他票券整理。

如果不打算買周遊券,高鐵最實在的省錢方式是early-bird tickets。早鳥提供指定車次的 65 折、8 折、9 折限量優惠,且只適用於標準車廂、對號座、單程全票,去回程要分開購買。搶票邏輯是階梯式的:65 折賣完改賣 8 折,8 折賣完改賣 9 折,9 折賣完就提前截止改回原價,因此越早訂、越有機會搶到 65 折。早鳥票最晚發售到乘車日(含)前 5 天截止,之後只能買原價票。
| Discount | Highlights | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| early-bird tickets | 35% / 20% / 10% off, limited quantity, sold in tiers | Standard Car reserved seat, one-way full-fare ticket |
| 12% off for TGO members | Members get a set number of discounts each month on select trains (frequency per official rules) | Standard Car Reserved Seat |
| Foreign traveler pass | Better value for multiple trips | Short-term foreign passport visitors |
另外還有信用卡優惠、國旅聯票、高鐵假期等方案會不定期推出,內容與折扣常變動,請以高鐵官網「早鳥優惠」與優惠公告為準。訂高鐵票、查時刻、用 T-EX App 都需要穩定網路,建議一下飛機就有網路可用,才不會在機場手忙腳亂;想省去現場排隊買 SIM 卡,可考慮落地即用的 eSIM。高鐵串起北中南後,別忘了規劃住宿與市區交通,行程安排可參考Taiwan Itinerary Planning, and to dive deeper into what each city has to offer, see ourTaipeirelated articles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do foreigners have to buy a pass?
Not necessarily. A pass is best for people who take the HSR multiple times within a short period; if you're only taking one or two trips, buying a foreign traveler one-way ticket or grabbing early-bird tickets may be more cost-effective. Compare based on your actual itinerary.
Can I buy a foreign traveler pass if I hold an ARC (residence permit)?
No. The pass is limited to "short-term foreign passport visitors." Holders of a Republic of China passport or a valid residence permit are not eligible, so please buy a regular ticket or early-bird ticket instead.
Can I pay for HSR tickets with an EasyCard?
持已開通自動加值功能的悠遊聯名卡或一卡通聯名卡,可直接感應搭乘自由座車廂;對號座則需另外訂票付款。細節以高鐵官方說明為準。
What if I miss out on early-bird tickets?
You can switch to a non-reserved seat (board on a first-come, first-served basis), check whether there are TGO member discounts or credit card promotions, or travel outside peak hours. These offers change often, so please double-check the latest announcements on the official website before booking.
Are HSR stations far from the city center?
Some stations (such as Tainan, Changhua, and Miaoli) are not in the city center and require a transfer to the TRA, metro, or a shuttle bus. When planning your itinerary, we recommend factoring in the time for that final leg of the transfer.
