Muzha metro station
Taipei Metro Wenhu line station
Muzha station (formerly transliterated as Mucha Station until 2003) is a station on Wenhu line of the Taipei Metro, located in Wenshan District, Taipei, Taiwan.
Station overview
This two-level, elevated station has two side platforms and a single exit. It is located between Muzha Rd. and Wanfang Rd., close to the intersection of Muzha Rd. and Jungong Rd.
The name of the station is known to cause ambiguity. Muzha is an area in Wenshan District, which may lead people to think that Muzha station is in Central Muzha. However, due to changes made during the planning of the Muzha line, the locations of several stations were changed, and Muzha station ended up being about 1 km away from central Muzha. This is also why the passenger volume of the station has always been low among the stations of the Taipei Metro.

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 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q698788. VIAF identifies the subject as 133659840. The Library of Congress control number is n50060461. Authority coordinates are 24.998, 121.573. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.
