03 / Stay & get home
To and from the airport
Kaohsiung International Airport is on the Red Line (R4), a direct ride to R17 World Games. From Taipei, THSR to Zuoying connects with R16.
Landing at Taoyuan? Take an Airport MRT commuter train to A18, THSR Taoyuan Station, then the high-speed rail to Zuoying.
Every route from the airport ↗ Read the full venue guide ↗Our pick First time? Stay near Zuoying: one Red Line stop from the stadium and next to High Speed Rail.

- R14Kaohsiung Arena areaMRT 3 stops, about 8 min

R16 · one stop- To the venue
- MRT 1 stop, about 3 min
- Price level
- $$
One Red Line stop from the stadium and next to THSR Zuoying, ideal for a next-morning train north.
Trade-off: Quieter at night than central Kaohsiung, and R16 is where the whole crowd heads too.

Have a plan after the encore
- Show starts (Taiwan time)
- 17:00
- If it runs about three hours
- ends around 20:00
- Last trains from R17
- 00:18 → R3 Siaogang · 00:35 → RK1 Gangshan
About 4 h 18 min to spare before the earliest last train. Station crowds after a big show eat into it.
Regular timetable, read 13 OCT 2026. Check the official timetable for your date ↗ Encores and delays move the finish. This is arithmetic from the start time, not a published end time. Transfers to other lines end earlier; check the last train on your own route.- Follow the day’s Metro and organiser signs. Temporary queueing and shuttle services vary by concert.
- A show’s finish time is not your arrival time at Zuoying HSR or your hotel. Check the actual last train before booking a same-night return.
- On the regular timetable the last Red Line trains from R17 World Games leave at 00:18 toward Siaogang (the airport side) and 00:35 toward Gangshan (Kaohsiung Metro first-and-last-train page, read 13 Oct 2026). Large shows often get extra trains and a later last train; the day’s organiser and Metro notices win.
- Going north the same night is tight: on the weekday timetable the last THSR from Zuoying to Taipei leaves at 22:10 (THSR timetable search, read 13 Oct 2026 for that day; weekend days differ, so search your date). After a 19:00 stadium show, plan to stay the night instead.
