The Taipei Metro Nanjing Fuxing Station is a station of the Wenshan Line and Songshan Line located on the border between Songshan and Zhongshan districts, Taipei, Taiwan.[2] Formerly Nanjing East Road Station, it was renamed on November 15, 2014 because of Songshan Line operating through almost the whole Nanjing East Road, and becoming a transfer station connecting the two lines.[3][4]
