The Airport MRT departs from the Taipei Main Station. There are two schedules -- the express andd the train that stops at more stations, which is slower. It's a very convenient and punctual. By the way, you must have an MRT card. If you don't have a a card, you will have to buy one and it will cost you more.

This major international airport is beautifully designed for shopping, rest areas, fun areas for children, a library, wifi availability. There are also restaurants, coffee shops.
Having plenty of time before my flight, I walked some sections of the airport taking pictures of the shops and rest areas, creatively designed. The airport endeavors to display the special culture & wildlife of Taiwan.

Taoyuan mrt provides another affordable option to reach Taipei City other than buses. Clean and easy to navigate, a godsend for Budget travellers.

This airport is super clean. We stopped over here for our connecting flight going to San Francisco. The only thing I wish they have is i hope they have a charging cubicles where you can charge your phone. We were at gate 9.

Heads up! When you are travelling with someone who is mobility challenged, travelling through Taoyuan can be a challenge and a pain. Much like Singapore Changi, all the terminals piers are connected by miles long gate corridors that can really make getting to a gate or immigration a real challenge. Order a wheelchair or cart through the airline you are travelling on.
Other than that, the airport is interesting. Tons of duty free and expensive shops are all over the place, but decent food outlets. What really makes this airport rather interesting, is that all gates (at least in Terminal 2) are made up as set designs advertising different famous regions or attractions in the country. These gate entrances are more like a reception area....for those waiting for the actual gate to open. You actually head downstairs to wait in the gate waiting area. I have never seen this gate attraction set design done at any other airport. See photos.

My friend and I landed at different terminals at Taoyuan International Airport, however there is a SkyTrain between terminals that you can take. The arrivals area in both terminals were unimpressive, we left Taoyuan Airport via the MRT to Taipei Main Station, for a cost of NT$150 and took 40 minutes very efficient! The departure hall is much nicer and the airport just opened up the fifth floor, this is the best part of the airport!

Hi guys, I have a 14-hour layover at Taipei from 9:30pm Friday to 12:30pm Saturday. Do I have enough time to visit a night market? Should I take the express train or taxi? I plan to rent a hostel near the Main Station to stay overnight.
For the next morning, where should I visit? Can you recommend me any restaurant or local food I should try?
Thank you for your suggestions.

Some night markets near main station. Airport MRT leaves you at Main Station. Saturday morning you also can check in at Main Station airport MRT, depending on airline you will continue your flight with. Taxi from airport to Main Station takes minimum 40 minutes and costs 1200 Taiwan Dollars.
I am flying bangkok to san Francisco with a connection at taipei. Will the taiwan travel ban effect transit passengers

I'm sorry I don't know about transit passengers, I suggest you contact your airline directly. . My sources in Taiwan have told me that Taiwan will be closed to all non-citizens. Common sense would suggest that this would not apply to transit passengers, but you never know.

I am flying from Singapore to US with a connection at Taiwan Intl Airport. Do I have to go through immigration? I only have an hour and half there!

Check with your airline but you shouldn't need to go through immigration unless you're actually exiting the airport

hi guys i have a 9 hour layover in taipei from 10pm to around 6 am any suggestions guys on what to do and any transit hotels in the airport. i am flying premium economy with china airlines do they offer lounge access to premium economy customers.

30 years ago, China Airlines would take your passport and put you up in a hotel for the night, as part of your fare. Those days are long gone. There are a couple of hotels within two or three miles, but do you really want to schlepp through customs, shuttle to a hotel and be back at 0400 am for your flight? Lounge privileges generally do not come with premium economy. I think you are going to have to suck it up. Load a couple of movies on you laptop, and check for better connections next time. Sometimes splitting up your flight (stay two or three days in Taiwan) is not that much more.

There are free showers in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of the airport. Although they are free and available 24 hrs, there's a time limit.
Massage services are offered from visually impaired people at certain hours of the day. Check the airport website for details.
Lounges exist. There's a free no-frills lounge in the fourth floor of Terminal 1 that may be tricky for some to find. Fee-based lounges cost at least US$30.
