Have a plan after the encore
- Show starts (Taiwan time)
- 19:00
- If it runs about three hours
- ends around 22:00
- Last trains from BL21
- 00:15 → BL01 Dingpu · 01:05 → BL23 Nangang Exhibition Center
About 2 h 15 min to spare before the earliest last train. Station crowds after a big show eat into it.
Regular timetable, read 18 OCT 2026. Check the official timetable for your date ↗ Encores and delays move the finish. This is arithmetic from the start time, not a published end time. Transfers to other lines end earlier; check the last train on your own route.- The last Blue Line train into the city leaves Kunyang at 00:15. Some transfers close earlier, from 23:48, depending on the line and direction.
Food after the encore

Restaurants in the station malls. They may close before the encore, so they suit a meal before the show.

Lots of restaurants that stay open late, five stops towards the city.
- Convenience storesEverywhere
Most 7-Eleven and FamilyMart stores are open 24 hours and sell hot food; check the one near you.
