On the Way to Kaohsiung, Taiwan

On Monday I took the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) from Taipei to Kaohsiung in the south.

The route from the north along the west coast to Taiwan's second largest city opened in 2007.

Business class

The 362 km (225 miles) trip only took 94 minutes.

I shot this on my iPhone from the window seat.  The ride was incredibly smooth for as fast as we were moving.
