Banqiao (traditional Chinese: 板橋)[11][12][13] is a railway and metro station in New Taipei, Taiwan served by Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR), Taiwan Railway, Taipei Metro and New Taipei Metro. With the exception of the Circular Line, all other tracks and platforms in the station are located underground. The station is served by the fastest HSR express services of the 1 series.

The current station building opened in 1999 for TRA, 2006 for Taipei Metro, and 2007 for HSR. The station currently handles over 77 million entries and exits per year. The elevated metro station of the Circular line (New Taipei Metro) opened on 31 January 2020.

Station overview

The three-level structure consists of a 25-story building above ground and five underground station stories; it is Taiwan's tallest station building. It includes platforms for the TRA, THSR, Taipei Metro and New Taipei Metro. The new station building was built as part of the Taipei Railway Underground Project to move railway lines in the city underground.

Public art

Titled "Evolution Orbit", the Bannan line platform has artwork consisting of 12 colorful rings affixed to columns on the platform.[14] These rings complete a cycle every hour and also move whenever a train enters the station.[15]

The platforms, walls and ceilings of the Circular line are decorated by French artist Daniel Buren, using regular, contrasting coloured stripes.[16][17]
