Station overview

Songjiang Nanjing Station entrance

This underground station[2] has an island platform and will have two side platforms for the Songshan Line.[3] It is located beneath the intersection of Songjiang Rd. and Nanjing East Rd. (hence the name of the station), and opened in November 2010 with the opening of the Luzhou Line and the Taipei City section of the Xinzhuang Line.[4][5] Also, the MRT planners expect this station to be part of the Minsheng-Xizhi Line.

Construction

Excavation depth for this station was around 29 meters for the Xinzhuang Line station and 20 meters for the Songshan Line station. The Xinzhuang Line station is 191 meters in length and 32 meters wide, while the Songshan Line station will be 202 meters in length and 26 meters wide.[6] When completed, it will have seven entrances, two accessibility elevators, and four vent shafts.[4] Two of the entrances and a vent shaft will be integrated with joint development buildings. One entrance will be integrated with the Council for Economic Planning and Development building. The station will be equipped with platform screen doors for both lines.

The theme for the Songshan Line station will be "Metropolitan Images of Daily Life" (都會眾生相).[6] It will use four elements (earth, fire, water, wind) to present surreal situations of the combination of city and nature.

  • Fire: University in a Flash
  • Water: Office Under the Sea
  • Wind: Coffee Shop Floating in the Clouds
