I tried booking for Hualien as well but same problem, no tickets. Now i am exploring 2 options, can you please let me know the feasibility:<br />1) Split journey in two and take local train to Luodong and then to Hualien. Can you please let me know if we can get seat in local trains or they are too crowded. Also, can i buy tickets in one day advance as I need to take an early morning train<br />2) Other option i was exploring is to take non-reserved ticket for Ch- express to Xincheng. Does non-reserved seat means that I would have to stand throughout the 3 hour journey or there are some seat for non-reserved tickets as well?. Also, can i buy this ticket in one day advance or does it need to be bought on same day. Also, how would i identify, which section of coach is for reserved vs non-reserved seat?<br />Please share your suggestions<br />Thanks<br />NishaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479768050505042082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517638118130845980.post-57173205511756744662018-02-05T23:49:42.822-08:002018-02-05T23:49:42.822-08:00HI, very informative post Chen, thanks for posting...HI, very informative post Chen, thanks for posting. I am planning to Travel from Taipei to Xincheng(Taroko Gorge) on 15th Feb. I need to take an early morning train and I am trying to book tickets since last 2-3 days but it says no tickets available. I tried to split journey and looked for tickets to Hualien, Yilan but all are sold out. Can i take the Chu-Kuang express without reservation by buying ticket at station? I am reaching Taipei on 14th, so can i get ticket on 14th from station? Also, without reservation, how likely we are able to get seat as I am travelling with a baby.<br />Also, another option i am exploring is to take local train to Luodong and then another local train to Hualien. Let me know which option is more feasible? Also, what are the chances of getting seats in local train? Can I buy tickets for local trains in one day advance<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479768050505042082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517638118130845980.post-33936047101491659692018-02-03T14:54:57.939-08:002018-02-03T14:54:57.939-08:00You can try to book KAOHSIUMG-Taitung-Hualien.
