The Taipei Metro Donghu Station is located in the Neihu District in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a station on the Neihu Line.
Station overview
This elevated station features two side platforms, three exits, and a platform elevator located on the north side of the concourse level.[2] It is located on Kangning Road, Sec. 3.
The station is 83 meters long and 21.5 meters wide, while the platform is 93.5 meters long.[3] Because of the station needed to go over the Wufen Road footbridge, the station height is 20 meters (the equivalent of a six-story building). It has thus been called the "Zenith Station" and is the highest station on the Taipei Metro.
Design
The station design theme is "Music".[4] Surface designs in the station square represent a dancing musical staff. Silk fabric is printed on enamel slab art walls at the concourse level to represent romantic urban music.[5]
Located next to the entrance, public art for the station is titled "The Rippling Lake".[6] Porcelain and celadon are used to create ripples on the art piece.
