Qizhang Station is a metro station located underground in Xindian District, New Taipei City. It operates as an interchange connecting the Songshan-Xindian main line and the Xiaobitan branch line, with two side platforms serving both routes.
The station opened on November 11, 1999 and was initially called Chichang before being renamed to Qizhang in 2003. This name change reflected a renewed connection to the area's local heritage and historical roots.
The station features ticket machines and multiple marked exits leading to different streets for easy navigation. Expect significant crowds during morning and evening commute hours, so arriving earlier is advisable if you prefer a calmer passage through the station.
Its Chinese name translates to 'seven sheets' and references local place designations with historical roots in the area. This naming history reveals how station names in Taipei often carry connections to local geography and tradition.
