Travel Information

Getting from Taoyuan International Airport to the conference venue

• Take a taxi:
  It is the fast way (about 45 minutes), runs according to meter, and will cost around 1400 New Taiwan dollars (NT$1400 is about 45 USD or 40 EUR). You will need Taiwanese money. Show the taxi driver the following paragraph:
  
  中央研究院 人文社會科學館
  台北市南港區研究院路2段128號
  
  Academia Sinica, Humanities and Social Sciences Building
  128 Section 2 Academia Road, Taipei
  
  Ask the taxi driver to enter the campus through the main gate. After passing through that gate, go straight even after you cross the little bridge. You want to turn left at the little temple; the HSSB will be on your right (if you are looking for the Activities Center, turn left after the little bridge, and look to your right).
• Public Transportation Option 1:
  Take the Taoyuan (Airport) MRT from either the Airport Terminal 1 or Airport Terminal 2 stations to Taipei Main Station (be sure to take the purple fast trains, 35 mins onboard, NT$160, about 5.5 USD), then Taipei's Metro Rapid Transit Blue Line to Nangang Exhibition Center (南港展覽館) station. You can take a taxi or a bus (number 205, 276, 306, 620, or 645, to Academia Sinica) or walk down Academia Road from there (25-30 minutes).
• Public Transportation Option 2:
  Take King (Kuo-Kuang) Bus number 1843 to Nangang Exhibition Center (南港展覽館) which takes about 80 minutes. There are buses every 45–65 minutes starting at Terminal 1 and stopping at Terminal 2. The 1-way fare is NT$115 or about 3.70 USD or 3.20 EUR. Take a bus (see above) or a taxi from there for another NT$100.
  See also the Taoyuan Airport's website on public transportation.

Getting from the conference venue to Taoyuan International Airport

• Take a taxi:
  Ask at your hotel reception to call a taxi to the airport. Typically it is possible on the way to the airport to fix the price in advance, which is a bit cheaper than going by the meter (NT$1100 if you call the taxi from the Academia Sinica Guesthouse). Note that you will need to tell the taxi driver from what terminal your flight is leaving.
• Public Transportation Option 1:
  Take King (Kuo-Kuang) Bus number 1843 from Nangang Exhibition Center (南港展覽館) which takes about 80 minutes. There are buses every 45–65 minutes starting in front of the Exhibition Center. The 1-way fare is NT$115 or about 3.70 USD or 3.20 EUR. To get to the Exhibition Center you can take bus number 205, 276, 306, 620, or 645 from Academia Sinica.
• Public Transportation Option 2: Take bus to the Metro Rapid Transit Blue line (270, 212 Express, Blue 25 to Nangang Station, or 205, 276, 306, 620, or 645 to Nangang Exhibition Center Station), then take the Blue line to Taipei main Station, then take the Taoyuan (Airport) MRT to your terminal (take the fast purple trains). You will need change or an EasyCard and the entire cost is about $7 USD.

Between the conference venue and Academia Sinica to Taipei Songshan Airport

A taxi should cost less than 10 USD (300 TWD). We suggest that you take the Brown Line of the Metro Rapid Transit to Nangang Exhibition Center (南港展覽館) station, where you can take a bus or taxi, or just walk (see above)
