Overview
Due to funding problems, Changhua Station was not constructed when Taiwan High Speed Rail first opened for service in 2007, and the detailed design began in 2010. The station opened on 1 December 2015. The station consists of one elevated main station and two side platforms. It is worth mentioning that even though Changhua County is the most populated County (Taiwan), county in Taiwan, the passenger volume of the HSR station is the lowest among all 12 HSR stations in Taiwan. Due to the location of the station, it cannot service those living in the northern part of the county (Changhua City,) and most people who live in Changhua City will take the HSR from Taichung HSR station, Taichung as it is a lot closer to Changhua City than Changhua Station. Changhua Station currently has no connection to Taiwan Railways Administration, TRA services. A 3-km branch line from Tianzhong railway station connecting to Changhua HSR station is expected to be completed in 2029.Architecture
