It is located at Formosa Boulevard Station, it is one of the important metro stations for the yellow and orange MRT lines. The Dome light is situated at the entry point of the station with lightning on the roof and floor, which play all day with the themes. It is one of the photographic places at the station.

This station was just a short walk away from where we were staying at just sleep hotel. The installation of stain glass is beautifully integrated with the station. There’s also a grand piano just waiting for someone to stop and play. Worth a photo stop.

Worth a short stay to admire its beauty during your transportation in the city. If you can, also plan to watch the light shows that take place 4 times per day.
