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:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
