Station overview edit
The station is a three-level, underground station with two island platforms and seven exits. It is located at the intersection of Zhongxiao East Road and Xinsheng South Road, hence the name of the station. Because space was reserved for the Xinzhuang line (B3) during construction of the Nangang line (B2), there is a direct transfer between the two lines using the pathway between B2 and B3.[4]
Construction edit
The Xinzhuang Line station is 317.6 meters long, 16.5-32.65 meters wide, and 25.5 meters deep.[5] The station is centered on a theme of "Modernization and High-tech", with glass and metallic materials utilized in the station design.
