Taichung HSR Station Introduction
Taichung High-Speed Rail Station, commonly known as Wuri High-Speed Rail Station, is located in Wuri District, Taichung City, Taiwan. It is a railway station of the Taiwan High-Speed Rail. The station is adjacent to the Taiwan Railways Administration's Xinwuri Station on the Taichung Line. Since 2010, it has surpassed Zuoying Station to become the second busiest station in terms of passenger volume, following Taipei High-Speed Rail Station. Taichung High-Speed Rail Station features two island platforms and six tracks, with the two central tracks being express tracks without platforms. The total site area of the station is approximately 12 hectares, while the station building has a total floor area of 110,000 square meters. A notable characteristic of this station, compared to other High-Speed Rail stations, is its location in a peripheral area bordering Taichung City and Changhua, which lacks vibrant markets and shopping centers. As a result, the station hosts many well-known chain restaurants and souvenir shops, making it a popular leisure destination on weekends, attracting visitors who are not just traveling. The station has a total of 10 exits, with exits 1 to 4 located on the second floor and exits 5 to 7 on the first floor. There is also one unnumbered exit primarily leading to the station plaza, parking lots for cars and motorcycles, public transportation waiting areas, transfer stations, and other surrounding facilities. Each station exit is equipped with signage displaying a list of nearby buildings and facilities.
