Description of Our Community: Tamsui-Xinyi Line is a metro line run by Taipei Metro. It connects Tamsui District and Xinyi District and there are thirty stations along this line. Shilin Junior High School is located near Shilin Station. It takes only eight minutes to walk to Shilin MRT Station from Shilin Junior High School, and within 15-minute walk, you can get to Jiantan MRT Station from the school. These two stations are on the Tamsui-Xinyi Line of Taipei Metro, which is also known as Red line.
Red line of Taipei Metro can take tourists to many famous scenic spots in Taipei, such as Beitou Hot Spring,Shilin Night Market and Taipei 101. Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation at Shuanglian Station,Operation Control Center at Taipei Train Station,and Beitou Depot at Beitou Station, which is the biggest train maintenance and repair center, are also on Red line. We can explore the local characteristics along the metro line by walking or taking the MRT as well as learn more about the operation and maintenance of Taipei Metro.
Project Description: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a convenient traffic tool for Taipei citizens. However, MRT is not only a way of transportation, it is also a starting point for people to get to know distinguished places where there are local specialties and cultural activities in Taipei. Through information collection and field visits, our exploration starts with the development of Taipei Metro. Then we delve into MRT stations with unique design and the tourist attractions nearby. We also look into MRT-featured activities, for instance, MRT Street Dance Festival and Fantasy Market (Zhongshan Market). Furthermore, Taipei Metro provides considerable resources in learning. There is an exhibition of the MRT development at Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, a chance to learn about the operation at Beitou Depot and an interactive Emergency Evacuation Center for visitors to experience how to evacuate through emergency at Beitou Resort. We hope that by planning a jaunt and providing ways to take the MRT, you can experience the colorful and energetic life in Taipei.
