Via Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport

Participants arriving at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport may travel south by Taiwan High Speed Rail (HSR) to Zuoying Station, the southern terminal station of the HSR in Kaohsiung. From Zuoying Station, Kenting is accessible by shuttle bus or private transfer, with a travel time of approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.

access

For travelers within Asia, direct international flights to Kaohsiung are also available, making it an efficient and convenient point of entry to southern Taiwan.

With seamless connections by air, high-speed rail, and road transportation, access to Howard Beach Resort Kenting is straightforward and reliable. These convenient travel options allow participants from around the world to combine a productive academic experience with the remarkable coastal landscape of southern Taiwan.
