Gushan (Chinese: 鼓山; pinyin: Gǔshān) is a railway and light rail station in Gushan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan served by Taiwan Railways and the Circular Line of the Kaohsiung rapid transit system.
History
On October 1, 1929, Asano Cement Kabushiki Kaisha built Tamachi Station as a freight station to transport goods for its nearby concrete plant (later known as Taiwan Cement Kaohsiung Plant). The station was built on the Taiwan Trunk line, northeast from the terminal station of Takao Station.
On June 20, 1941, Takao (Kaohsiung) Station was relocated to Sanmin District, and the original location was renamed as Kaohsiung Port Station. To accommodate the relocation, a new junction was built south of Tamachi Station for a new track connecting Sankuaicuo station and the new terminal station for Takao (Kaohsiung) Station.
On April 15, 1950, Tamachi Station was renamed as Gushan Station.
On November 9, 2008, passenger services from the station were discontinued. The station was since only serving freight services until the station closed.
On May 13, 2009, the station was closed for the construction of Kaohsiung Railway Underground Project.
On October 14, 2018, the station was reopened with a new station building after the completion of the Kaohsiung Railway Underground Project. Passenger services were restored.
On December 16, 2021, Gushan Light Rail Station of the Circular Light Rail Line was opened.
