Nangang station

Nangang Station was originally built during the Japanese rule of Taiwan in 1899 to support local industries and the growing population. Since then, the station has been upgraded three times to support tremendous growth: in 1905, in 1966 (due to the KMT moving the ROC government to Taiwan), and in 1986–1987 (to accommodate increased passenger traffic and new cargo traffic).

As with most urban train stations in Taipei, Nangang Station was converted from a surface station to an underground station as part of the TRA's Taipei Railway Underground Project, an effort to move existing surface railways from Songshan Station to east of Nangang Station underground to accommodate growing traffic and economic development in Nankang Software Park. Existing TRA platforms were successfully moved underground on 21 September 2008. The 7.6-km tunnel project cost NT$76.5 billion.^[12] The high-speed rail extension to the station opened for service in 2016.^[13]

The new station is similar to the then-new Banqiao Station in New Taipei, which was reconstructed to accommodate underground platforms and mixed-use development on the existing station site. The two-level, underground station levels accommodate expanded TRA platforms, new THSR platforms, and new MRT platforms for the Bannan line which was opened on 25 December 2008. It served as the eastern terminal until Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Bannan Line platform opened in 2011. On 3 January 2010, Exits 3 and 4 for metro station were closed for construction of a passageway with the TRA station.^[14] The entire project was completed in February 2011. Platform screen doors were installed on the Nangang line platforms in August 2015.

The design of the Taipei Metro portion of the station centers around a "Nostalgia and Technology" theme with aqua green selected to signify an image of a fish pond. Paintings by artist Jimmy Liao are displayed around the station including on the platform walls. Many areas have sandblasted glass installed.^[15] On the platform, a piece titled "Rapid Transit Platform, the Transport Dock" displays images on benches to evoke memories of former industries in Nangang.^[16]
