Station overview
This two-level, underground station has an island platform and four exits.[2] The station is surrounded by government buildings and educational institutions, serving mainly students and civil servants, and therefore it remains relatively quiet for most of the day.
In 2010, the station was used for the filming of a scene for a Taiwanese romantic comedy film, Au Revoir Taipei (一頁台北). The station was emptied for filming, and a train was arranged specifically for shooting.[3]
History
Operations
The station was formerly served by a shuttle service between Ximen and CKS Memorial Hall because trains from Xindian would travel to Tamsui. Platform 1 and 2 would switch service every six months under that operation. Upon the opening of the Xinyi Line in November 2013, the shuttle was extended south to Taipower Building. Upon the opening of the Songshan Line in November 2014, the shuttle was replaced by trains running the full-length Songshan–Xindian line service between Songshan and Xindian.
