This is the most economical and widely used route by visitors. Start by taking an express bus from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Main Station. From there, catch an express train (Puyuma or Taroko) to Hualien. Once at Hualien Station, take a taxi or pre-booked car to Seth Village.
Fly from Taipei Songshan Airport to Hualien. First, take a transfer from Taoyuan Airport to Songshan (via bus or taxi), then board a 35-minute domestic flight. After landing, take a taxi to Seth Village. This is faster and more comfortable, ideal for those with less time or more luggage.
Book a private car from Taoyuan Airport directly to Seth Village. This offers door-to-door comfort, flexibility in timing, and privacy. It’s ideal for families, groups, or those needing accessibility services.
Each option varies in duration and comfort. Public transport offers the most budget-friendly route but takes longer. Flights are quick but cost more and require transfer between airports.
“Let the journey to Seth Village be your first healing step — slow, mindful, and immersed in Taiwan’s natural beauty.”
Early morning departures allow better connection flexibility. Be mindful of weather, especially during typhoon seasons (June–October), which can impact train and flight schedules.
