The HAIFENG (Sea Breeze) Train invites you to “open the world and encounter Taiwan’s gift,” experiencing mountain mist and ocean winds along the journey. Accompanied by sea breezes, you can hear the rhythm of waves, while entering the mountains to witness drifting forest mist and lush landscapes.
The Train is inspired by Taiwan’s natural scenery, showcasing the island’s beauty through its design. Its exterior colors are inspired by the deep blues and emerald greens of Taiwan’s coastal waters, creating a fresh and elegant atmosphere so passengers can enjoy both the passing scenery and the train’s own visual charm.
The passenger cabins feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, with seating designed in macaron-inspired tones and retro-style sofas. Options include four-seat sofa arrangements and sea-facing double seats, creating an ideal atmosphere for photography. From the moment passengers board, they are welcomed by dedicated onboard concierge service. The interior is enhanced with soft gradient lighting, light ocean-themed music, and refreshing fragrances, while scenic highlights along the route are introduced throughout the journey.
