Zhongxiao Road

Zhongxiao Road (Chinese: 忠孝東路、忠孝西路, also called 4th Blvd. or Chunghsiao Road) is a major arterial boulevard and part of provincial highway 5 in Taipei, Taiwan, connecting the Zhongzheng district in the west with the Daan, Songshan, Xinyi, and Nangang districts towards the east. Zhongxiao is known as a popular retail and entertainment area, with many large department stores and shopping malls located along most of the entire stretch. About half of the Nangang Line of the Taipei Metro runs under the road, with stations located at major intersections along the road, which accounts for the significant pedestrian traffic along the road. The majority of the road is 8-10 lanes wide with a median dividing the road. At the intersection with Zhongshan Road, there is a two-lane underpass for traffic on Zhongxiao Road to bypass the intersection. Notable landmarks along Zhongxiao Road includes:

• North Gate
• Taipei Main Station
• Shin Kong Life Tower
• Control Yuan
• Executive Yuan
• Shandao Temple
• National Taipei University of Technology
• Pacific Sogo Department Store (Zhongxiao and Fuxing branches)
• East Metro Mall (underground)
