How to take the train from Taipei to Shifen and how to buy tickets

Tours are good to go to Shifen, but a trip on a local train is also recommended✨ And it's cheap Private tours are quite expensive, and group tours have fixed times and are a group activity, so it takes time for various reasons, and there are many troubles such as someone not returning However, you have to transfer from Taipei Station to the Pingxi Line at Ruifang Station, and this Pingxi Line has few trains, about once an hour, so if you can act smartly and keep to the time, you can have a cheap and wonderful trip on a train full of local feeling 😄 This time, I will introduce a plan to go to Shifen at lunchtime As a supplement to ③ When purchasing tickets from the ticket machine When purchasing a ticket, the destination selection is displayed on the map If you want to go to Shifen, you go to Ruifang Station, so select North Taiwan → Keelung Area → Next Page in the upper right → Ruifang If you are taking a train other than Tziqiang (all seats reserved train), you do not need to purchase in advance if you have a Yuyu Card, so go to the ticket gate You can get on the train by waving your card. After returning to Ruifang Station (9), the train times to Taipei are 【219】 14:13→14:51 (38 minutes) or 【4177】 14:43→15:30 (47 minutes) Neither of them are self-reliant. I recommend returning to Ruifang Station and then taking a bus to Jiufen, so I'll write about that next time. If you can get to Ruifang, you can easily go sightseeing in both Jiufen and Shifen, so please save it and give it a try. 😄 #TaiwanTrip #Taiwan #BargainTrip #Shifen #Ruifang #SelfReliantTrip #MyTravelPlan #RecommendedTravelPlan
