Life on the MRT 2025

I was just in Kaohsiung recently. Went to the Pier. I could have sworn that the Orange Line western terminus was named Sizihwan 西仔灣. Am I imagining things?

Why is that surprising?

I didn’t say it was surprising.

The name says Hamasen. I swear it said Sizihwan last time.

Am I imagining a name change?

Apparently the name was changed in May last year.

Nope!

Formerly called Sizihwan station after a nearby scenic area Sizihwan, the metro station was renamed in 2024.

It’s supposed to open in 2023. Just another example of Hou’s incompetence.
