Modern Kaohsiung - Central Park Station R9 Introduction
Central Park Station is a stop on the Kaohsiung Metro Red Line, located at the intersection of Wufu and Zhongshan Roads. Due to its vicinity to a vibrant area of Kaohsiung City with a high volume of pedestrian traffic, the Urban Rail System specifically adopted the design concept of "Modern Kaohsiung." This was crafted by British architect Richard Rogers, featuring a large white canopy and elegant yellow columns, presenting a design imagery named "Soaring." The white canopy not only creates a stylish atmosphere and structural beauty for Central Park Station but also incorporates a unique rainwater collection design that leads rainwater into an internal tiered waterfall. Sunlight, flowing water, and the green plants on the walls collectively adorn the station, giving it a fresh and natural forest-like appearance, resonating with the concept of Central Park. At night, the station is illuminated, with double sets of escalators and waterfalls becoming exquisitely glamorous. The rain shelter appears to float with the wind, symbolizing the city's prosperity, takeoff, and growth.
