The Taiwan Railway Corporation (台灣鐵路公司) plans to demolish and rebuild the 60-year-old Lujhu Station (路竹車站) after the facility failed to meet structural seismic standards. According to information published by local community outlet Kaohsiungdian (高雄點), the railway authority expects to open the public tender process for the reconstruction project in October. Preliminary project timelines indicate the new transit station is scheduled to become fully operational by mid-2029.

The Kaohsiung City Government said the Sunshine Island Vibe Fest will return March 6–8, 2026, with activities planned at Central Park and Kaohsiung Main Station, marking the festival’s first dual-venue format.
Chen says the city should study the possibility of reconnecting the old rail bridges on both the north and south sides of the area. Chen said the Public Works Bureau’s Parks Office had been asked to evaluate the engineering requirements and cost of such a project.
Strong winds swept across Kaohsiung from Monday afternoon into Tuesday, prompting some residents to compare the conditions to a typhoon. The Kaohsiung Weather Station said the winds were caused by the combined effects of a tropical disturbance over the South China Sea southwest of Taiwan and a Pacific high-pressure system to the east.
