Station overview
edit
The three-level consists of a 25-story building above ground and 5 underground station stories; it is Taiwan's tallest station building. It includes platforms for the TRA, THSR, Taipei Metro and New Taipei Metro. The new station building was built as part of the Taipei Railway Underground Project to move railway lines in the city underground.
Public art
editTitled "Evolution Orbit", the Bannan line platform has artwork consisting of 12 colorful rings affixed to columns on the platform.[15] These rings complete a cycle every hour and also move whenever a train enters the station.[16]
The platforms, walls and ceilings of the Circular line are decorated by French artist Daniel Buren, using regular, contrasting coloured stripes.[17][18]
