Construction
Excavation depth for this station is around 32 m (105 ft). It is 171 m (561 ft) in length and 32 m (105 ft) wide. It has four exits, one of which is integrated with the South Wing of the National Taiwan Museum.
Taipei Workshop, a Grade 3 historical monument constructed during the era of Japanese rule, was exactly where the future Beimen Station would be located. Thus, a removal project commenced on October 20, 2006 to temporarily move the structure until construction of both the Songshan Line and the Taoyuan International Airport MRT are completed. The building was moved 30 meters to the southeast, and was moved back when construction was completed.
