Jiangzicui is a station on the Bannan line of Taipei Metro located in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Station overview
This two-level, underground station has an island platform and six exits.[2] It is located at the intersection of Wenhua Road and Shuangshi Road.
The station is not in the same location as the Japanese era station (Gangzui Station), which was located at the intersection of Xianmin Boulevard and Sanmin Road and has since been demolished.
Originally, this station was supposed to be called Shuangshi Station (雙十站), but this was later changed to its current name in reference to a tributary of the Dahan River which the Banqiao Line passes under.
