Modern Kaohsiung - R9 Central Park Station Introduction
Central Park Station is a stop on the Kaohsiung Metro Red Line, located at the intersection of Wufu and Zhongshan Roads. As the station is situated in a prime area of Kaohsiung City, which attracts large crowds, the Metro Bureau specifically designed it with the concept of "Modern Kaohsiung." The design was crafted by British architect Richard Rogers and features a large white canopy and lightweight yellow columns, embodying the design imagery known as "Soaring." This white canopy not only creates a fashionable atmosphere and structural beauty for Central Park Station, but also incorporates a special rainwater collection design that channels rainwater into an indoor tiered waterfall. Sunlight, flowing water, and the greenery on the walls adorn the station, making it feel fresh and natural like a forest, connecting it to Central Park. At night, the station is illuminated, with double sets of escalators and the waterfall becoming extraordinarily dazzling, while the rain shelter appears translucent, as if it could soar with the wind, symbolizing the city’s vitality, ascent, and growth.
