Stop at Taipei Main Station.
Saw the board "TRA / HSR". Go straight as the sign say so.
Then you will see the ticket counter. You can buy the ticket to Ruifang. (If I'm not wrong you've to tap out)
We didn't buy it because we've EasyCard. You can use that card.
After you bought your ticket, step backward and you will see this sign.

mean "Taiwan Railways Administration".
You heading to Ruifang by Railways.
Tap in.
Go to Platform 4. (Right side) There will be a escalator, go down.
