The Taipei Metro Donghu station is located in the Neihu District in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a station on Wenhu line.

Station overview

This three-level, elevated station features two side platforms, three exits, and a platform elevator located on the north side of the concourse level.^[2] It is located on Kangning Road, Sec. 3.

The station is 83 meters long and 21.5 meters wide, while the platform is 93.5 meters long.^[3] The station's height is 20 meters (the equivalent of a six-story building) to accommodate the Wufen Road footbridge. It has thus been called the "Zenith Station" and is the tallest station on the Taipei Metro.

Design

The station design theme is "Music".^[4] Surface designs in the station square represent a dancing musical staff. Silk fabric is printed on enamel slab art walls at the concourse level to represent romantic urban music.^[5]

Located next to the entrance, public art for the station is titled "The Rippling Lake".^[6] Porcelain and celadon are used to create ripples on the art piece.

History

December 2007: Station structure reaches completion.^[7]
22 February 2009: Donghu station construction is completed.
4 July 2009: Begins service with the opening of Brown Line.

This station is a planned transfer for the Minsheng–Xizhi line. The contract for a new MRT line to connect Taipei's Donghu station to New Taipei's Xizhi station was awarded in Oct 2024. The construction is expected to begin in 2025 and to be completed in 2032.^[8]^[9]
