May I ask everyone, which one is closer to Sun Moon Lake, Taichung or Hualien, and how long does it take each? Thanks!

Taichung is near. <br/>Taichung Railway Station, transfer to Nantou Bus or Taiwan Haoxing bus to Sun Moon Lake, it will take at least 3 and a half hours in total. <br/><br/>There is no direct train from Hualien to Sun Moon Lake, so it is more comfortable to take the train. <br/>Recommended route:<br/>1. Take the train directly and get off at Taichung Railway Station (it is faster to bypass from Taipei), and then transfer to Nantou Bus or Taiwan Haoxing bus at Taichung Railway Station to go to Sun Moon Lake , It will take at least 6 hours in total<br/> <br/>2. First take the train to Taipei, then transfer to the high-speed rail to Taichung High-speed Rail Station (the high-speed rail has a transportation ticket for Sun Moon Lake, and then take the Nantou Bus or the Taiwan Haoxing bus It will take at least 5 hours to go to Sun Moon Lake<br/> <br/>3. Take the train to Taipei first, then take the Guoguang Bus at Taipei West Station next to the train station to go directly to Sun Moon Lake, it will take at least 6 hours in total<br/> <br/>4. Take a flight from Hualien Airport to Taichung Airport (there is only a flight at 10:00 every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday), then take a bus or taxi to Taichung Railway Station, and transfer to Nantou Bus or Taiwan Haoxing Bus It takes at least 3 and a half hours to go to Sun Moon Lake.

It takes about 2 hours + from Taichung to Sun Moon Lake, and about 4 to 5 hours from Hualien to Sun Moon Lake. It passes through the Central Mountains, passes through Taroko and then to Sun Moon Lake. If it is raining, the drive will be longer. Therefore, the itinerary from Taichung is relatively short, and I hope to help you.
