Sizihwan is a terminus of the Orange line and adjacent to Circular light rail Hamasen station of Kaohsiung Metro. It is located in Hamasen of Gushan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Its name is derived from Sizihwan, a nearby scenic area.
Station overview[edit]
The nearby TRA Kaohsiung Port Station closed after service began on the Orange Line through this station. It opened in 1908 to begin train service into the Kaohsiung Harbor area. The train station area will be turned into a railway cultural park.[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 of the actual site of Sizihwan. On 21 November 2023, Kaohsiung Metro announced that this station will be renamed as Hamasen Station when the extension works of Red line to Gangshan railway station is complete. [3]
Station design[edit]
The 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]
