City Council (Former site) is a station on the Orange line of Kaohsiung Metro in Cianjin District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Station overview

The station is a two-level, underground station with an island platform and four exits.[2] The station is 206 metres long and is located at the intersection of Jhongjheng 4th Rd and Jhonghua 3rd Rd.[3]

During the opening of the station, it was named "City Council." However, after the merging of Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County in 2010, the original Kaohsiung City Council was relocated to the original Kaohsiung County Council, located near Fongshan West metro station, so (Former site) was added to the end of the station name to avoid confusion. However, the name of the station still remains unchanged.

On 21 November 2023, Kaohsiung Metro announced that this station will be renamed as Cianjin Station when the extension works of Red line to Gangshan railway station is complete.
