I rank this in #1 of my favourite Taipei Metro stations! It's not just an ordinary interchange MRT station with the Blue & Brown Lines, this station also receives one of the highest demands out of the entire Taipei Metro, especially during festive seasons when flocks of people can be seen changing between both lines, especially to the Blue Line, on New Year's Eve, while the officers are doing their job really well to make the lines and manage the crowd control! You can also see the crowd levels for each particular door by looking at the colour at the top of the platform, for the blue line itself! [Red for extremely full, orange, yellow, green for empty]

Note in Taiwan they take the no eating/drinking on the subway and in the station very seriously. I took a sip of my drink and immediately was told there is no drinking in the station. This is a bit confusing because you can buy drinks/food inside the underground that connects to the station. You can eat/drink in most areas but once you enter the station there is not...
Read moreI really like the Zhongxiao Fuxing Station and shopping mall because they are very convenient and fun. Zhongxiao Fuxing Station is a transportation hub that connects different MRT lines and bus routes. The mall has a wide variety of shops and restaurants to suit different needs and tastes. I often shop here, eat, watch movies, or just enjoy the lively atmosphere. This is one of my favorite places. Its bit of walk between shopping and station and it can be super crowded but everything important is nearby like ABV and other...
