Peach,
It was a major hassle to find the schedule for the Taiwan High Speed Rail from Taipei to Zuoying, which is some km north of Kaohsiung but as far as the lien currently goes. There are trains from 0630 until midnight, but starting at 0800 a pattern is established. They are two super-expresses(only one stop in between) every :00 and :42 after each hour. There are trains that make 6 stops at :06 and :30 after every hour. The one-stop trains are 96 minutes to Zuoying and the multi-stop trains are 120 minutes. The average is clearly 108 minutes.

From Zuoying station teams can transfer unto the Kaohsiung Mass Transit system. I don't know how far apart the stops are, but there are 2 to "Kaohsiung Area", 5 to Kaohsiung Station, and 12 to Kaohsiung International Airport. It could be from 6 minutes to perhaps 40 minutes depending on where teams have to go in Kaohsiung(of course if they go there at all).

I can save you some time in your efforts to find cities in the mountains. There aren't any in Taiwan. Only small villages exist in the mountains.

Chateau d If:
Don't forget the tunnel shot.

We have been through this argument on this thread months ago. I remember that the supertrain gets from Taipei to Kaohsiung in about 100 minutes. I check it in the morning when I get home from church.

I don't remember Taiwan, maybe from TAR last year? I do remember the Hue debate, lol...
