Station overview
Formerly 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.
