Wow! Western China is beginning to rock!

I like this feature of every station having its own unique symbol.

I think this is the first in the world, right?

Well done.

Beautiful pictures @AndrewJin , @cirr

Taibei metro stations often have their own unique design and feel. Some feel modern and sleek like Minquan Xilu, some pretty historical, like Chiang Kaishek Memorial Hall.

But the stations do not have their separate symbols, all use Taibei Metro symbol.

I think every station in Taibei has a special stamp.

We actually have a Taiwan metro section in our metro forum
