Taiwan High Speed Rail stated that in the past, visitors from southern Taiwan often couldn’t fully enjoy the Children’s Folk Games Festival due to long travel times. Now, with the high-speed rail, the distance between northern and southern Taiwan is greatly shortened, making the trip from southern Taiwan to Yilan no longer far away. Take advantage of this rare offer and have the whole family “ride the high-speed rail, explore the Children’s Folk Games, and enjoy hot spring fun,” all at an incredibly affordable price for a relaxing and value-packed summer vacation.
