Station overview
Formerly called Sizihwan station after a nearby scenic area Sizihwan, the 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]
