Shuanglian (Chinese: 雙連; pinyin: Shuānglián, formerly transliterate as Shuanglien Station until 2003) is a metro station in Taipei, Taiwan served by Taipei Metro. It is a station of the Tamsui–Xinyi line and a planned transfer station with the Minsheng–Xizhi line.

Station overview

The station is located underneath the metro park, near Minsheng West Road and Zhongshan North Road. The station is a two-level, underground structure with one island platform and two exits. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.

Public art in the station consists of a mural titled "Dawning Sail". Composed of porcelain enamel, the mural reflects Shuanglian's rich historical past from its role as a once-prosperous trading post on the Tamsui River to new developments in the area.

The station is a planned transfer station with the Minsheng-Xizhi Line.
