Fengshan Station Introduction
As the third largest station in Kaohsiung City, following Kaohsiung Station and Xinzuoying Station, Fengshan Station was once the most important railway station in Kaohsiung County before the merger of Kaohsiung County and City. The history of Fengshan Station dates back to 1907, constructed by the Taiwan Governor-General's Railway Department. Initially, it served as a hub for agricultural products and military transportation, witnessing the economic development and historical changes of the Fengshan area. Since the Japanese colonial period, Fengshan Station has accompanied the residents of Fengshan for over a century and has undergone multiple renovations and transformations. From a traditional railway station and military transit station, it has evolved into a modern station with the advancement of the railway underground project, becoming not only a transportation hub but also a modern station that integrates commerce, public space, and greenery. After the railway was moved underground, the former railway tracks no longer obstruct the north-south movement of the city. They have been replaced by a new station building and surrounding environmental planning. The newly constructed "Sky Fengcheng" draws design inspiration from "Fengshan Ancient City," incorporating historical elements such as the old North Gate site, city wall fortifications, and the gable roof of Fengyi Academy, recreating the lively and prosperous city gate scene of the past. The station features spacious open areas and green walkways where travelers can rest and experience the blend of history and modernity in the urban landscape. In the future, "Sky Fengcheng" is expected to become a new tourist landmark in Fengshan, providing citizens with a more convenient transportation experience while integrating modern urban design to create a vibrant public space. Although the shopping mall is still in the phase of leasing, and detailed plans for brand and facilities are yet to be finalized, Fengshan Station has already entered a new development stage, becoming an important urban gateway in southern Kaohsiung and looking forward to bringing more possibilities in the future.
