Jiantan (Template:Zh, formerly transliterated as Chientan Station until 2003) is a metro station in Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. There was a station of the same name on the now-defunct Tamsui railway line, however the position was different; the TRA station was further south.

Exit 2 of Jiantan station

The two-level, elevated station structure with one island platform and two side exits. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.[2] Notable landmarks are National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine, Jiantan Park and Ming Chuan University.

This station is well known for its architecture, which is based on a dragon boat. The station is also next to the Shilin Night Market[3] and experiences heavy traffic during the evening hours.

Due to its unique dragon boat architecture, it was awarded the 19th Annual Taiwan Architecture Award in 1997.[4]

History

The station was originally opened on 17 August 1915 as Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. It was for passengers looking to visit Taiwan Grand Shrine on Jiantan Mountain. The shrine no longer exits; its former location is where the Grand Hotel currently stands. After the war, it was renamed Chientan station and then closed in the 1950s. The station location was where the Jiantan Youth Activity Center currently stands.[5]

The Taipei Metro station was originally going to be constructed as two stations: one at the old TRA station location and another one called Mingchuan Station. However, residents around the proposed Mingchuan Station opposed the plan. Thus, a station was constructed at the midpoint of the two proposed stations, and was opened on 28 March 1997.
