Question Dear Kuo-Syn Liao,
I want to spend a few days touring Taiwan with my wife in November / December 2008.
I will arrive in Tapei, and after a few tours there (including Taroko gorge) , I want to travel by train to see Sun Moon Lake , then on to Kaohsiung.
While in Kaohsiung , I want to see the Alishan Railway and also the National Marine Museum.
I am finding it hard to find information on the best way to travel to these two attractions from Kaohsiung.
Are you able to advise, the best way to get there and back, and approximate traveling time ?
Thanks in advance.
Alain.

National Marine Museum, do you mean this one? the museum near kenting, pindong (philippine sea)? http://eng.nmmba.gov.tw/

Sat and sun. 0900/1330 to a-li-shan , 1318/1340 back to jia-yi,
it takes 3 hr. 20 min. from jia-yi to a-li-shan. About NT399(may change because oil) one trip, 15% discount round trip.
