The Taipei Metro Yuanshan Station is located between the Zhongshan and Datong districts in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a station on the Tamsui Line (Red Line). There was a station of the same name on the now-defunct TRA Tamsui Line.
Station overview
The station is an elevated structure with one island platform and two exits.[2] The station is situated on the West of Yumen Street, between Kulun Street and Jiuquan Street. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.
In consideration of the large crowds to the nearby Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, the upcoming 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition estimated to attract 6 million visitors, and passenger safety especially along the tracks, Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation announced that automatic platform gates would be installed at this station, Taipei City Hall, and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.[3][4] It would be the first elevated, high-capacity station in the system with automatic platform gates.
