By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The 2017 Universiade has kicked off in grand style. In addition to riding Taipei MRT’s painted trains, the Taoyuan MRT has also been turned into a sports arena. This time, even Taoyuan MRT’s A9 Linkou Station has been transformed into a track and field and soccer field complex. Taipei’s new attraction is buzzing with athletic energy. Beyond the pool-themed carriages, the A9 soccer field and A9 track and field area have drawn many passersby to stop and take photos, sparking yet another wave of Universiade-themed check-ins online.

#A9Soccer Field #RUNYOURSTYLE
Giant soccer field creative decals cover the first floor of A9 Linkou Station in their entirety, while an oversized soccer ball hangs from the ceiling, complemented by lifelike turf decals on the floor, instantly injecting vibrancy into the MRT station. This fun and timely creative design has attracted many passengers to strike poses like shooting, diving for the ball, or jumping in front of the camera. Some even changed into summer sportswear just to capture the full scene, prompting remarks like, “This could totally be a sports brand lookbook!”

#A9Track and Field #RUNYOURSTYLE
Here you can see people crouching in starting positions right inside the MRT station, as the second floor of A9 Linkou Station has been turned into an ultra-realistic track and field venue. Stretching from the second-floor concourse all the way to the third-floor platform, the long runway perfectly echoes the competitive spirit of the Universiade, making you want to slip on your sneakers and sprint freely, savoring the thrill of crossing the finish line.
