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:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
