South Shulin is a station on the Taiwan Railways Administration West Coast line located in Shulin District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[2] [3] South Shulin Station is located at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Dongxing Street.
Representatives of the Shulin District office surveyed 1078 citizens to gather public opinion on a favorable station name. Results of the survey are as follows: South Shulin (42.5%), Dongxing (30.5%). The remaining names include: Shijin Shouji (0.4%), Dongshan (0.3%), Xia Shanjia (0.2%), Shulin Dispatch Station (0.1%), Shujia (0.1%), Xinxing (0.1%), Shuxing (0.1%), New Shulin (0.1%).
Before the opening of the station, the area in which the station is currently located was called "Shulin Train Yard and Simple Train Stop." On 3/25/2015, the Shulin District Office held a naming meeting to determine the name of the future train station. Station names such as Shushan, Shudiao, and South Shulin were considered before deciding on the name South Shulin Station.
