The fastest way to get to Houli Flower Garden is by taking a Taiwan High-Speed Rail from Taipei. The travel time is around 40 minutes to Taichung Station. From there, you can take a shuttle bus to the city center and Uber or taxi to the flower farm. You can also take a local train and alight in Houli or Tai’an Station, the latter is closer to the flower farm.
Alternatively, you can also alight at Miaoli High-Speed Rail Station (Fengfu TRA Station) and transfer to the local train. Get off at Tai’an Station and take an Uber or taxi at around TWD150 or walk for about 20 minutes. The travel time from Fengfu Station to Taiโan Station is 30 minutes and the fare is TWD48.
There is an ongoing promo where you can purchase a buy one take one HSR ticket: bit.ly/DiscountedTrainTicket. It is cheaper to buy your ticket online than to get it at the HSR counter.

Where to Stay in Taipei?
Staying in an Airbnb is a good option especially when you travel with a group. I recommend staying in Xinyi District, near Taipei 101 for an amazing view of this iconic building. You can check out Airbnb listings near Taipei 101 or search below.
