The station was initially opened as Linrong railway station, but the old station was demolished in 1982 in order to modernize the Taitung Line. With the opening of the Harvest Ranch Resort nearby, the Shin Kong Group, owners of the resort, continuously lobbied for Linrong station to be reopened. The request was granted by the TRA and the station reopened in 2018 with the new name.[1][2]
