Getting here, parking & maps

From Kaohsiung Main Station to Central Park

Both stations are on the MRT Red Line, which makes this the simplest starting point for many visitors. This page explains how to check same-day service, when a bus or taxi is worth comparing, and how to orient yourself after exiting — without unverified travel times or fares.

MRT Red Line: the direct option

Take the Red Line south from Kaohsiung Main Station and get off at R9 Central Park for the park’s edge. First and last trains, frequency and same-day service status belong to the operator’s timetable and station page; we do not republish timetables that may be out of date.

Bus, taxi and walking combinations

With luggage, or if you would rather avoid an in-station transfer, compare city buses, taxis and a walk-plus-MRT option. Stops and routes along Zhongshan 1st Road change; use the city transport bureau or the operator’s live information rather than any route number listed by a third party.

Fix the location after exiting

R9 has several exits serving different sides of the park and nearby streets. For a meeting point, name an exit number or a street corner instead of just “Central Park”. The address shown on Google Maps is also the station address, not the park’s only entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change trains from Kaohsiung Main Station?

Both are on the Red Line, so a direct ride to R9 Central Park is normally possible. Check the operator’s station page and timetable for same-day arrangements.

How long is the walk from the exit to the park?

We publish no measured walking time. The park adjoins the station but the exits are spread out, so use your chosen exit and a map reference point, allowing for weather and pace.

Is it practical to walk over with large luggage?

With large bags, compare the MRT, bus and taxi first, and check whether station lifts and exits are available that day. This site has not surveyed the whole route for step-free access.

Sources and verification limits

Opening hours, prices, services, events and facility status change. Check official announcements, primary sources and on-site signs before travelling.
