World Games metro station

World Games is a station on the Red line of Kaohsiung Metro in Nanzih District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The station is named after the 2009 World Games.

Station overview
The station is a four-level, elevated station with two side platforms and four exits. It is 134 meters long and is located at the intersection of Zuonan Rd. and Jhonghai Rd.

It was originally planned to be named "Banping Mountain Station", but was changed in July 2005 to its current name. Because it is the first elevated station after the line emerges from underground, the aim was to create an iconic station similar to the Taipei Metro's Jiantan metro station.

Public art
Public art in the station was designed by Ron Wood and Christian Karl Janssen. Titled "Floating Forest", the artwork covers an area of 1000 m2 and is displayed on the glass canopy overlooking the tracks, at the concourse level, and along the stairways. The artwork depicts many plants and insects, and tells the story of "Soul of the Land and the People in Southern Taiwan".
