What is the approximate length of Taiwan High Speed Rail’s main line?

Taiwan High Speed Rail’s main line is approximately 345 kilometres long.

The railway runs along Taiwan’s densely populated western corridor, linking Nangang in Taipei with Zuoying in Kaohsiung. It was constructed mainly for high-speed passenger services and uses technology derived from Japan’s Shinkansen system.

The line opened for scheduled passenger service in 2007. Its route includes major cities such as Taichung and Tainan, making it a crucial intercity transport link.

The figure is often rounded in summaries, so sources may describe the route as about 345 or 350 kilometres. It should not be confused with Taiwan’s conventional railway network, which covers a different route and uses different infrastructure.
