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 Railway Bureau of the Governor-General of Taiwan. 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 occupation period, Fengshan Station has accompanied the residents of Fengshan for more than a century, experiencing multiple renovations and transformations, evolving from a traditional railway station and military transit station to a modern facility. With the advancement of the railway underground project, Fengshan Station has entered a new era, not only as a transportation hub but also as a modern station that integrates commerce, public space, and green areas. After the railway was tunneled underground, the old railway no longer obstructs north-south travel in the city; instead, it is replaced by a new station building and surrounding environment planning. The newly crafted "Sky Feng City" is inspired by "Fengshan Ancient City," incorporating historical elements such as the North Gate site, city wall fortifications, and the eaves of Fengyi Academy to recreate the bustling sights of the ancient city gates. The interior of the station features spacious open areas and green pathways where travelers can rest and experience the urban landscape where history and modernity intertwine. In the future, "Sky Feng City" will 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 currently still under leasing, with the specific brands and facilities yet to be determined, Fengshan Station has already entered a new development phase, becoming an important urban gateway in southern Kaohsiung, looking forward to more possibilities in the future.
