Daan (Chinese: 大安; pinyin: Dà'ān, which has a misleading romanization since its 2003 renaming from Ta'An) is a metro station in Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. It is a transfer station between the Wenhu line and Tamsui–Xinyi line. It is a terminus of short turn services on the Tamsui–Xinyi line.

Station overview

This is a five-level, elevated and underground station and has two side platforms, an island platform and six exits. It is located at the intersection of Fuxing South Rd. and Xinyi Rd. Four more exits have been constructed with the opening of the Red Line. Red Line trains from Beitou terminate here during non-rush hours.

Construction

The Red Line station is 347 m (1,138 ft) long and 25 m (82 ft) wide. Excavation depth is at 25 m (82 ft). It also has a 319 m (1,047 ft) pocket track, four entrances, two accessibility elevators, and three vent shafts. One of the entrances and one of the vent shafts is integrated into a new joint development building. Another entrance and vent shaft is integrated into the existing joint development building on the Brown Line.

Public art

The Red Line station has a theme of "The meeting of light and shadow - a dialogue between ground level and underground". A combination of a horizontal passage which links the space and special illumination and lighting design on the escalators strengthens the directionality of the passage space.
