Taipei Metro’s Songshan Line officially opened on November 15. Among the eight stations along the line, none have attracted more attention than the large-scale public art installation “Yu Jian” at Songshan Station. The vibrant colors of the “Floral Light Dome” immediately became a star attraction for passengers. Online, many netizens have been comparing it to the “Dome of Light” at Formosa Boulevard Station, vying for the title of Taiwan’s most beautiful metro station.
● Songshan Station
Inspired by the original name of the Songshan Line—“Xikou,” which in the Pingpu language means “a gathering place where rivers curve,” the space art “Yu Jian” extends the poetic concept of “where rivers bend, one encounters the Floral Light Dome.” It also symbolizes how the Songshan Line has now become a commercial hub integrating land, sea, and air transport.

The large-scale public art installation “Yu Jian” is situated in the transfer corridor between the metro and Taiwan Railways at Songshan Station. The high-ceilinged space is equipped with 50,250 LED lights and fluorescent tubes arranged in vertically staggered patterns to create undulating shapes. This setup offers a multi-layered, dynamic visual experience. Controlled by computer systems, the lights produce dreamlike, colorful displays that flow like clouds, vividly showcasing the rich historical origins of Songshan.
