Station overview
editFormerly called Sizihwan station after a nearby scenic area Sizihwan, the metro station was renamed in 2024.[2] This station was originally planned to be constructed inside the National Sun Yat-sen University. Due to construction issues and oppositions from the university, it was eventually built at the current location instead.
The nearby TRA Kaohsiung Port Station, which opened in 1908 to provide train service in the Kaohsiung Harbor area, ceased operations and was turned into a railway cultural park after service began on the Orange Line.[3]
The metro station is a two-level, underground station with an island platform.[4] It is located at the junction of Linhai 2nd Road and Gushan 1st Road and has 2 exits. The station is 282 metres (925 ft) long.[5]
The light rail station is a ground level station with two side platforms. It is located inside Hamasen Railway Cultural Park.
