History

The design of the station was carried out by HOY Architects, a Taipei based firm.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hoy.com.tw/ugC_ShowroomItem_Detail.asp?hidShowKindID=1&hidShowTypeID=0&hidShowCatID=0&hidShowID=32 |title=台灣高速鐵路台中車站 |access-date=25 February 2019}} Construction took four years and took $5 billion NTD, making it the most expensive station at the time of its opening.{{Cite web|url=https://news.tvbs.com.tw/local/347098|title=〈獨家〉SOGO新館設計團隊 50億打造烏日站|last=張惠民|date=24 October 2006|website=TVBS}}

Prior to the opening of Miaoli, Changhua and Yunlin HSR stations in December 2015, this was the only operational high speed rail station in Central Taiwan.

Overview

The station is elevated and has two island platforms. Since all services stop at this station, the passing tracks located between platforms are rarely used to connect trains with the depot to the south. The station has a total area of {{Convert|12|ha|m2|abbr=}}.{{Cite web |last=陳建徵 |date=16 October 2004 |title=高鐵生活圈透天厝暴漲100萬 |url=https://tw.appledaily.com/headline/daily/20041016/1308911/ |access-date=25 February 2019 |website=Apple Daily}}

Due to the location of the station, it can service not only residents of Taichung, but also those living in the northern part of Changhua County in central Changhua. In addition, the development of Taichung has become increasingly prosperous in recent years. Since 2011, the number of passengers enter/exiting from Taichung HSR station has surpassed the number of passengers enter/exiting from Zuoying HSR station, and its growth continues to accelerate.
