Transportation fr Taipei to Hualien
I will travel to Taipei in Easter. Could you suggest the faster way for travelling from Taipei airport to Hualien? Also, would you share some highlighted sightseeing places in Taipei and Hualien? Thanks~

There is no non-stop flight from TPE to HUN, so your best bet is to get into Taipei and then either fly TSA-HUN or take train from Taipei to Hualien.
There are 5-6 TSA-HUN flights a day on TransAsia, and takes 40 minutes.
Pretty frequent trains from Taipei to Hualien, though only 6 of them the fastest "Taroko", taking just over 2 hours. Other trains take longer, up to 3:30.
Frequent buses from TPE to either TSA or the Taipei train station.
I am sure there are buses direct from Taipei to Hualien, but not from TPE; not sure about trip length.

Right, easiest (fewest changes) is bus to Taipei main station, train from there. Click on my name for my East Asia TR including Taiwan. I don't think there are buses from Taipei to Hualien any more - I looked into that as I wanted to bus down the east coast highway.
