How to get to Kaohsiung, Taiwan

There are a number of ways to get to Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.  Overseas delegates can either fly directly to Kaohsiung International Airport (KIA; http://www.kia.gov.tw/english/e_content/periodical.asp?line=1&radArrDep=2) or fly to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA; http://www.taoyuan-airport.com/english/flight_timetable/) first.  Then there are two options to come to Kaohsiung City: (1) to take a transit flight from TTIA to KIA; (2) to take an airport shuttle bus to Taoyuan station of Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation (THSRC; http://www.thsrc.com.tw/en/?lc=en) and then take a high speed train from there to Zuoying station in Kaohsiung.  Most ground transportation access areas are located at the main entrance of KIA terminal and Zuoying station.  Ground transportation includes Kaohsiung MRT (mass rapid transit; http://www.krtco.com.tw/en/service/service-1.aspx) red line and a number of city bus lines.  Of course, taxi service and car rentals are also available.
