Reported by journalist Weng Wei-zhen from Taoyuan, the Zhongli Train Station, known as the 'ugliest train station,' is scheduled for demolition to make way for railway underground construction. A temporary station will open on June 16, with a message area set up in the current station for people to share their thoughts. Despite being mocked for its appearance, the station holds numerous memories for residents. The Taoyuan railway underground project approved in September 2020 includes renovating existing Taoyuan, Neili, and Zhongli stations, and constructing new stations like Fengming, Zhonglu, Taoyuan Hospital, Zhongyuan, and Pingzhen. Zhongli Station, as a vital transportation hub, witnesses heavy traffic and high passenger volume in and out of the station, ranking among the top five nationwide. As part of the railway underground construction, a temporary station was built on the west side to accommodate passengers during the project, set to open on June 16. People leave heartfelt messages on memories associated with the soon-to-be-demolished station, expressing nostalgia, anticipation for the new station, and gratitude for the emotional connections the station fostered over the years.
