03 / Stay & get home
To and from the airport
Kaohsiung International Airport is on the Red Line (R4), a direct ride north to R14. From Taipei, THSR to Zuoying connects with R16, two stops north of the arena.
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 around R14: walk back after the encore, with a night market next door.

Walk back to your room after the encore. Ruifeng Night Market and the Hanshin Arena mall are next to the arena.
Trade-off: Rooms go fast once a show is announced, and R14 is crowded straight after the show.

Have a plan after the encore
- Show starts (Taiwan time)
- 19:30
- If it runs about three hours
- ends around 22:30
- Last trains from R14
- 00:25 → R3 Siaogang · 00:29 → RK1 Gangshan
About 1 h 55 min to spare before the earliest last train. Station crowds after a big show eat into it.
Regular timetable, read 14 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.- On the regular timetable the last Red Line trains from R14 leave at 00:25 toward Siaogang (the airport side) and 00:29 toward Gangshan. Check your date on the Kaohsiung Metro timetable.
- For big arena shows the Metro has run trains every four minutes and added trains for the crowd leaving; the day’s organiser and Metro notices win.
- Staying on the Orange Line? The trains after midnight from R14 toward Siaogang are marked on the Kaohsiung Metro timetable as not connecting with the Orange Line at Formosa Boulevard (R10). Leave before midnight or check your train.
- Going north the same night is tight: on the weekday timetable the last THSR from Zuoying to Taipei leaves at 22:10 (read 13 Oct 2026; weekend days differ, so search your date). After an evening show, plan to stay the night.
