Structure


There are one island platform and two side platforms. The side platform of Linkou line is outside the station owing to free service. The station is undergoing a massive construction as of 2015. Two elevated island platforms will be built to replace the existing platforms. The tracks for two Taoyuan MRT underground lines are also being built. Because of the construction, the station is temporarily relocated until 2020, when the new platforms and tracks are expected to complete.



Service


All classes of trains stop at the station with the exception of 1 daily Puyuma service. Easycard usage for trains along West Coast line, Yilan line, and Pingtung line is also available at this station.



History


The station began to operate in 1893 during the late Qing rule. In 1905, during Japanese rule, a new wooden terminal was built to replace the existing terminal. It was the terminal station of the Linkou line. Post World War II, the terminal went through another major renovation in 1962, and was used until 2015, when the construction of new platforms begin.
