Jiangzicui (, formerly transliterated as Chiangtzu Tsui Station until 2003) is a metro station in New Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. It is a station on Bannan line. This is the last station in New Taipei when heading towards Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center on the line.
Station overview
This two-level, underground station has an island platform and six exits. 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.
