Taoyuan or Songshan arrival?
Check your airport code before saving the hotel route. Taoyuan International Airport, TPE, has Airport MRT connections from its terminals toward Taipei Main Station. Compare the Express and Commuter stopping patterns with your destination. Songshan Airport, TSA, is in the city and connects to the Wenhu MRT line. Keep your terminal, hotel address and final station exit together so your arrival plan matches the airport on your ticket.
MRT routes and four Taipei stops
Save the line colour, direction and exit number before boarding. Download the next journey for underground stretches where signal can dip. Keep the hotel name and address in Chinese for taxi pickups or asking directions. Taipei Main Station combines several rail systems: follow the signs for the specific operator rather than assuming every platform shares the same entrance.
- Taipei 101: keep your admission confirmation and the intended building entrance handy before visiting the observation deck or nearby shops.
- Ximending: agree on an exact shopfront or station exit for meeting friends among the pedestrian streets.
- Longshan Temple: save the walking route from the MRT and your next food stop before exploring Wanhua.
- National Palace Museum: check the final bus or taxi connection separately; the museum is not beside a central MRT platform.
Taipei-specific tip: Airport MRT Taipei Main Station, A1, involves a walk to other Taipei Main Station services. Save the interchange route before arriving with luggage, and choose your hotel exit rather than simply following a general station pin.
For Raohe Night Market, save the Songshan-area arrival point and your return connection before browsing. Download the next route while taking a food break, keeping your phone free for menus, translation and meeting friends.
