Taipei, Sept. 19 (CNA) Taiwan High-Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC) launched a special "buy one get one free" ticket promotion for international tourists purchasing one-way tickets for destinations south of Taichung on Wednesday.

The promotion is available exclusively to foreign tourists holding short-term visas traveling to Taichung, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan and Zuoying. Tickets can only be bought on KKday and Klook.

The offer of a free second ticket for the same route is available only while supplies last.

Tickets for this deal can be purchased through the THSRC website or its affiliated domestic and international distributors and must be used within 90 days.

To redeem the ticket, travelers need to reserve a seat on the "THSR Pass" website and present their reservation code, passport and proof of entry at any THSR station counter.
