The Taipei Metro Daan Park station is a metro station on the Red Line located beneath Xinyi Rd, Sec. 3 between Xinsheng South Rd. and Jianguo South Rd. in Da'an District, Taipei, Taiwan.[1] It is located at the northern end of the Daan Forest Park for which it is named. The station was opened on 24 November 2013.[2]
The two-level, underground station has an island platform, a naturally-lit hall and a sunken garden.[3] The naturally-lit hall has two light towers and a light hallway. The sunken garden connects to the hall and has a ring-shaped corridor, pond, cascade and a circular plaza.[4] The station also has an underground parking lot.
An earlier draft for the station's design did not include the waterfall and sunken, ring-shaped corridor design,[5] though it still maintained the sunken plaza within the station lobby.[6]
The station is 226m (741feet) long and 22m (72feet) wide and excavated to a depth of 19m (62feet). It has six entrances, three elevators for the disabled and two vent shafts. One of the entrances is integrated into a joint development building. The 34-story building is incorporated into exit D and was completed in December 2010.[7] Due to station construction, old banyan trees originally planted on the sidewalk along Xinyi Road were replanted elsewhere within the park.[8]
The design theme for the station is "Forest Revolution: the City and Park Conversing".[9]
