Fengshan Station Introduction
As the third largest station in Kaohsiung City, after Kaohsiung Station and Xinzuoying Station, Fengshan Station was once the most important railway station in Kaohsiung County before the merger of Kaohsiung City and County. The history of Fengshan Station dates back to 1907 when it was built by the Taiwan Governor-General's Railway Department. Initially, it served as a hub for agricultural and military transportation, witnessing the economic development and historical changes in the Fengshan area. Since the Japanese colonial period, Fengshan Station has accompanied the people of Fengshan for over a century and has undergone multiple renovations and transformations, evolving from a traditional train station and military transshipment station to its current state. With the progression of railway undergrounding projects, Fengshan Station has welcomed a new era, becoming not only a transportation hub but also a modern station that integrates commerce, public spaces, and green areas. After the railway was moved underground, the old railway tracks no longer obstruct the north-south flow of the city, replaced by a brand-new station building and surrounding environmental planning. The newly created "Sky Feng City," inspired by the "Fengshan Ancient City," combines historical elements such as the old North Gate site, city wall fortifications, and the gable roofs of Fengyi Academy, recreating the lively and prosperous scenes of the former city gates. The station features spacious open areas and green pathways where travelers can rest and experience the blend of history and modernity in the urban landscape. In the future, "Sky Feng City" aims to become a new tourist landmark in Fengshan, providing citizens with a more convenient transportation experience while incorporating modern urban design to create a vibrant public space. Although the shopping mall is still in the process of finding tenants, and detailed brand and facility planning is yet to be confirmed, Fengshan Station has already entered a new phase of development, becoming an important urban gateway for southern Kaohsiung, with expectations for more opportunities ahead.
