May I ask if I can buy a same-day ticket for taking the high-speed rail or train from Taipei, Taiwan to Hualien?

Yes, you can still use the Easy Card over there

There is no high-speed train from Taipei to Hualien. It takes less than 2 hours to get there by taking the (Puyuma) Dagai. If it is a holiday, it is difficult to buy tickets. I think it is not so easy to buy tickets on weekdays. It is best to make a reservation.

It is more convenient to take the Taiwan Railway from Taipei to Hualien. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to arrive.<br/>It is recommended to buy tickets in advance<br/>If it is a holiday, it will be hard to find a ticket!!

You can buy a train ticket to Hualien on the same day, but Taipei to Hualien is the most popular ticket. I only buy tickets without seats, and it’s normal days, not weekends, or holidays.

First of all, there is no high-speed train from Taipei to Hualien, only the Taiwan Railway. The Taiwan Railway ticket from Taipei to Hualien is relatively tight. You can buy the ticket on the same day, but it is definitely not the fastest. It is estimated that there is no ride, and you may not be able to buy the right one. The time is most suitable for you. I personally suggest that if the itinerary is already scheduled, go to the official website of Taiwan Railway to buy it 15 days in advance.
