A relocated Japanese-era railway station in central Kaohsiung, built in 1941 in the imperial-crown style that blended a traditional east-Asian roof with a modern concrete body. When the city's rail lines were sunk underground, the entire heritage hall was moved bodily to a temporary site and later returned as a museum of the city's railway history. Its dark tiled roof and symmetrical facade recall the ambitions of colonial-era civic building. Exhibits inside document the transformation of Kaohsiung from harbour town to industrial port city.
