Source-derived summary

Fuxinggang station (Chinese: 復興崗; pinyin: Fùxīnggāng; formerly transliterated as Fuhsing Kang Station until 2003) is a Taipei Metro station on the Tamsui–Xinyi line located in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. In the past, the station belonged to the now-defunct TRA Tamsui line.

The name of the station is derived from the nearby Fu Hsing Kang College, a military academy. The Taipei Metro Beitou Depot is located directly south of the station.

Station overview

The station is at-grade with two side platforms connected via skyway and hosts two exits; exit 1 is at grade and faces north towards Zhongyang North Road, while exit 2 is located at the southern end of the skyway and leads into Beitou Depot via a bridge. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.

History

This station was opened temporarily as Shenyunhui Station (Chinese: 省運會車站), a TRA railway station, from October 25 to 31, 1954 for the national sports day event held at Fu Hsing Kang College. The metro station was opened on March 28, 1997.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fuxinggang metro station” as metro station in Taipei, Taiwan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003, 1954, 1997—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1997. The account is most persuasive where Fuxinggang, metro and station can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as metro station in Taipei, Taiwan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q698428. Authority coordinates are 25.138, 121.485. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 1954 and 1997.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
