4. Zhongshan MRT Station Taipei

This metro station is located in what is known as West Taipei (comprised of Wanhua and Datong, the city’s oldest districts), under the intersection of Nanjing West Road and Xinzhongshan Linear Park. West Taipei’s fortunes ebbed for decades during the last century when the most progressive economic activity shifted to the city’s east, but the Taipei Metro system’s advent in the 1990s along with systematic urban-regeneration initiatives over the past two-plus decades led by the city government have brought a renaissance, especially around the major metro stations.
