To reach Zhongli District
From Taoyuan Airport
It is very likely to arrive in Taiwan from overseas through Taoyuan International Airport (TPE). From there, the Taoyuan MRT line goes directly to Zhongli District in about 30 min for 60 NTD (1.90 USD). The stations Huanbei and Laojie River are both located in Zhongli downtown and both are less than 10 min walking from most hotels. The same MRT line can be used to reach Taipei City but there are quicker options such as the TRA railway or the High Speed Railway.
From Taipei City
Some flights to Taiwan can also land in another airport in Taipei City, named Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA). From the city, there are several options to reach Zhongli.
Taking the bus line No. 9025 from the TSA airport bus will stop directly to Zhongli District downtown, which takes about 1 hour pending on traffic for a cost of 80 NTD (2.50 USD).
Taking the Taipei MRT subway to reach Taipei Main Station and then taking the TRA railway to Zhongli, which is directly in the district downtown. Reaching Taipei Main Station by MRT takes around 20 min for 25 NTD (0.80 USD). The train from Taipei station to Zhongli takes around 50 min for 60 to 90 NTD (1.90 to 2.85 USD).
Another option is to take the High Speed Railway from Taipei Main Station to Taoyuan station in about 20 min for 160 to 440 NTD (5.10 to 14 USD). However, it will be necessary to take the Taoyuan MRT to reach the downtown of Zhongli District in about 10 min for 30 NTD (0.95 USD).
By car
The downtown of Zhongli District can be reached by car through Highway No. 1 at exit No. 62. When coming from Taipei, it is recommended to use the elevated Highway for better traffic. Highway No. 3 also leads to Zhongli by taking exit No. 62 then taking the Expressway 66 and road 113 toward Zhongli.
To reach the conference site
A free service of shuttle buses between the Zhongli downtown and the conference building in NCU’s campus will be provided for the participants. Everyday in the morning, the bus will depart from Zhongli downtown near the participant’s hotel locations to reach the campus. After the conference in the evening the bus will return to the downtown. Several stops in the downtown will be defined to reduce the walking time for participants and timetables will be provided in advance. Sideboards of large size will be arranged for better identifying pickup locations. Each ride is estimated to last no longer than 20min. Shuttle buses will be used to reach the cultural tour destination and the banquet location. Also, the staff will help calling taxis for participants who wish to leave the conference site earlier or later. The taxi ride to the downtown is estimated to 100 NTD (3.20 USD).
