Station Overview
The station is situated under Xinyi Road, near Shifu Road. The station is a two-level, underground structure with one island platform and five exits. The northeast exit will directly connect to the basement of Taipei 101.
Originally, the station was to be named just "World Trade Center Station". However, since both Taipei 101 and the Taipei World Trade Center represent national landmarks, on July 22, 2011, the Department of Rapid Transit Systems announced that the station would be renamed to Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
