Your journey through Tainan begins at the heart of the city.
Located at No. 46, Chenggong Road, North District, Tainan City, The Theatre 劇院酒店 is just about a 10-minute walk from Tainan Railway Station.
Its convenient location makes traveling around Tainan effortless, with easy access to Taiwan High Speed Rail, TRA trains, intercity coaches, and local bus routes.
No matter which city you’re traveling from, The Theatre offers a smooth arrival point — and the perfect beginning to your Tainan journey.
Getting to The Theatre by Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR)
If you’re traveling from Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, or Taichung to Tainan, Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to reach the city.
After arriving at THSR Tainan Station, exit from the 2nd-floor concourse. Without needing to go downstairs, you’ll easily find signs guiding passengers to the TRA Shalun Line transfer platform.
The Shalun Line is an important railway connection between THSR Tainan Station and Tainan city center, with a travel time of approximately 25 minutes from Shalun Station to Tainan Railway Station.
Shalun Line trains typically run every 20–40 minutes and are coordinated with THSR arrival times, making transfers smooth and convenient for travelers.
After arriving at Tainan Railway Station, guests can easily walk to The Theatre 劇院酒店.
Another option: Taking a city bus from THSR Tainan Station to downtown Tainan.
Besides transferring via the Shalun Line, some travelers also choose to head to Exit 2 on the first-floor lobby of THSR Tainan Station and take a city bus into downtown Tainan.
The first floor of THSR Tainan Station offers multiple city bus and tourist routes with direct access to downtown Tainan and several popular attractions, including:
(H31 bus route – Tainan City Government Line: Direct access to Chimei Museum)
(Red 3 bus route: Travel to Tainan Bus Station, then walk to The Theatre 劇院酒店.)
Through Tainan's bus system, travelers can easily continue exploring the city after arrival or conveniently transfer to their accommodation destination.
Getting to The Theatre by TRA train
If arriving directly at Tainan Railway Station by TRA train, it is recommended to exit via the Front Station Exit (city side). This exit connects to Tainan's historic downtown area and major shopping districts, while also providing easier access to Chenggong Road — so be sure not to head to the wrong side of the station.
After leaving from the Front Station Exit, guests can reach The Theatre 劇院酒店 in approximately 10 minutes on foot.
The walk itself is not far, yet it offers travelers a gentle transition from the pace of travel into the rhythm of the city.
For those arriving from different parts of Taiwan, the convenient location also makes the journey easier for travelers carrying luggage, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable arrival experience.
In addition, city bus stops and taxi stands are located just outside the Front Station Exit, offering travelers multiple transportation options after arriving in Tainan.

With so many attractions located around Tainan Railway Station, taking the city bus is a convenient way to explore the area — whether you're planning to visit department stores, enjoy famous local cuisine, or head toward National Cheng Kung University.
If you don't plan to check in immediately after arriving in Tainan, the station also serves as a great starting point for exploring different parts of the city by public transportation.
