Xincheng Station (Chinese: 新城車站; pinyin: Xīnchéng Chēzhàn) is a railway station of the Taiwan Railways Administration North-link line located in Xincheng Township, Hualien County, Taiwan. To promote the sight-seeing in nearby area, the local committees decided to change the station name to Taroko (Chinese: 太魯閣車站; pinyin: Tàilǔgé Chēzhàn) according to the famous Taroko Gorge. The new name was effective from August 2007. But during the transition period, most of the signs contain both name versions of the station to avoid ambiguity.[2][3]
