Xinpu metro station
Taipei Metro Bannan Line station
Xinpu (Chinese: 新埔, formerly transliterated as Hsinpu Station until 2003) is a metro station in New Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. It is a station on the Bannan line. It is an out-of-station interchange with Xinpu Minsheng station on the Circular line, which is 250 meters away.
Station overview
This two-level, underground station has an island platform and four exits. It is an out-of-station interchange with Xinpu Minsheng station on the Circular line, which is 250 meters away.
Because the Circular line was originally planned to make a regular interchange within Xinpu station, Xinpu station adapts a concourse design similar to that of Zhongxiao Fuxing station. However, after considering that the Circular line could benefit a lot more if it set up a station at Banqiao on the Bannan line, giving the ability to also transfer to Taiwan Railway, THSR and long-distance buses, it was decided that the Circular line be set up at Banqiao station, which has caused the two out-of-station interchanges at Banqiao and Xinpu/Xinpu Minsheng.

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 Q698222. Authority coordinates are 25.023, 121.468. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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.
