The Taipei Railway Station Baggage is cheap and convenient for travelers. Here are some tips for using luggage storage center according to my traveling experience around Taiwan.
Pinxi Railway Line
The first choice of luggage storage for a foreign traveler may be the lockers or storage service center in a transportation hub. However, there are lots problems if you want to use it.
* You need to search and confirm the information about whether there is locker or storage service in a transportation one by one in advance.
* You need to find the location in a jumbo station.You need to be lucky enough that the locker or storage service is not full.
* You need to pray that your luggage can fit the storage space. You need to come back before the service hour.
All of the problems mentioned have happened to me and became my nightmare when I travel around the world.
You may need to repack your luggage. But it is embarrassing to repack your luggage in open space with lots passengers walking by, especially with underwear inside. You may also hope that you can have a place to take a rest with delicious drink or food if there are a few hours for your train or bus to go.
lalalocker is a new business model. You can leave your luggage at cafes, hotels,bookstores, bars. Its price is on daily base. NTD 150 for big luggage with the longest side more than 45 cm and NTD 50 for small luggage. For a foreign traveler, the best advantage of lalalocker is it increases the certainty of your trip.

The following example is that I search lalalocker stores near MRT Danshui Station. The website provides choices near the station for you and you can book in advance.
Taipei Railway Station Baggage Center
Taipei Railway Station
The Taipei Railway Station Baggage Center is not located in Taipei Main Station. It is 50m east of the main building. You can go to the center from East 3 Gate or East 1 Gate of the main building.

- Visitor Centers
Tourism Bureau provides lots visitor centers in major attractions and transportation stations. You can ask for help if you want to leave your luggage for a while. However, most visitor centers close around 5:30 pm. Please remember to retrieve your luggage within service hour. You should also keep in mind that luggage storage serve is not a regular service for a visit center. They can reject to help you. Even they help your but don't have responsibility to keep the safety of your luggage.
