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 Railway Bureau of the Governor-General of Taiwan. In its early years, it primarily served as a hub for agricultural products and military transport, 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 transit station to its current form. With the advancement of the railway underground project, Fengshan Station has entered 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's undergroundization, the old railway tracks no longer separate the north and south of the city; instead, a brand-new station building and surrounding environment have been designed. The newly created "Sky Phoenix City" draws design inspiration from "Fengshan Ancient City," incorporating historical elements such as the old site of the North Gate, city wall fortifications, and the eaves of Fengyi Academy, recreating the bustling scene of the former city gates. The interior of the station features spacious open areas and green walkways where travelers can rest and experience the blend of history and modern urban landscape. In the future, "Sky Phoenix City" will become a new tourism landmark in Fengshan, providing residents 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 process of attracting tenants and the specific brands and facilities are yet to be confirmed, Fengshan Station has already entered a new development stage, becoming an important urban gateway in southern Kaohsiung, with great potential for the future.
