The Taipei Metro Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station is located in the Xinyi District in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a station on the Xinyi Line and began revenue service on November 24, 2013 with the opening of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall - Xiangshan route section.[1]

Station overview

The station is situated under Xinyi Road, near Shifu Road.[2] The station is a two-level, underground structure with one island platform and five exits. The northeast exit directly connects to the basement of Taipei 101.

Originally, the station was to be named just "World Trade Center Station". However, since both Taipei 101 and the Taipei World Trade Center represent national landmarks, on July 22, 2011, the Department of Rapid Transit Systems announced that the station would be renamed to Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station.[3]

Construction

The station is 185 m (607 ft) long and 25 m (82 ft) wide. Excavation depth is at 22 m (72 ft). The station has a 154 m (505 ft)-long crossover section. It has five entrances, three elevators for the disabled and two vent shafts.[2]

Public Art

The theme for this station is "Modern melody - creation of a spatial atmosphere for dialoguing with the world". The district represents an international exchange between Taiwan and the world. Public art will represent the rapid broadcast of information and the crowd's busy interaction.[2]
