A We travel from our starting place to our destination:

When are you coming back to Taiwan?

We arrive in a town or country, at or in a village, at any other
destination:
They arrived in Spain.
I arrived at the hotel/at the airport/at the bridge/at the
crossroads.
get to can be used with any destination, and so can reach:
He got to the station early just to be in time for his train.
I want to get to Taichung before dark.
get in (in=adverb) can mean 'arrive at a destination'. It is mostly
used of trains:
What time does the train get in? (reach our station)
Note also get there/back (there, back are adverbs).
