'''Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall''' ({{zh|t=中正紀念堂|p=Zhōngzhèng Jìniàntáng}}), secondary station name '''Nanmen''' ({{zh|t=南門}}), is a metro station in [[Taipei]], Taiwan served by the [[Taipei Metro]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.trtc.com.tw/e/stationdetail.asp?ID=042|title=Route Map: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station|publisher=Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation|accessdate=2010-06-14|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120717033437/http://web.trtc.com.tw/e/stationdetail.asp?ID=042|archivedate=2012-07-17}}</ref> It is a transfer station for the [[Tamsui–Xinyi line]] and [[Songshan–Xindian line]]. While the [[Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall|memorial]] for which the station is named was embroiled in a naming dispute,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6672017.stm|title=Taiwan to rename Chiang landmark|author=Caroline Gluck|publisher=BBC News|date=2007-05-19|accessdate=2011-03-07}}</ref> the name of the station has remained unchanged.

The station is a three-level, underground structure with two [[island platform]]s and seven exits.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.sdpo.dorts.gov.tw/paper_gln/3th/stuff2.htm|title=第二章 土木，建築，水環、軌道|publisher=Department of Rapid Transit Systems|accessdate=2010-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113020222/http://www2.sdpo.dorts.gov.tw/paper_gln/3th/stuff2.htm|archive-date=2013-11-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> The two platforms are stacked on top of one another, allowing for [[cross-platform interchange]] between the [[Tamsui–Xinyi line]] and the [[Songshan–Xindian line]]. The washrooms are outside the entrance area. The station is situated under [[Roosevelt Road (Taipei)|Roosevelt Road]], between Nanhai Road, Linsen South Road, and Aiguo East Road. It also connects to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and some government agencies located around the area.

From 15 November 2014, the station became a transfer station with the [[Songshan–Xindian line]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.dorts.taipei.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=205658&ctNode=19582&mp=115002|title=Second Stage of Taipei MRT (Approved MRT Routes)|publisher=Department of Rapid Transit Systems|date=2010-03-12|accessdate=2010-06-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302213411/http://english.dorts.taipei.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=205658&ctNode=19582&mp=115002|archive-date=2012-03-02|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2010/01/10/2003463114|title=President promotes plans to build Wanda MRT line|publisher=Taipei Times|date=2010-01-10|accessdate=2010-11-22}}</ref> The [[Wanda–Zhonghe–Shulin line]] will serve as the terminus of this station, scheduled to open in late 2027.

==Public art==
The station is home to several public art pieces. By the escalators connecting the two platform levels, a piece titled "Metamorphosis" displays a holographic flight trajectory of a [[paper plane]].<ref name="art">{{cite web|url=http://www2.dorts.gov.tw/english/Humanity/PublicArt/Guide_Xindian.asp|title=Public Art on the Xindian Line|publisher=Department of Rapid Transit Systems|accessdate=2010-12-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322160934/http://www2.dorts.gov.tw/english/Humanity/PublicArt/Guide_Xindian.asp|archive-date=2012-03-22|url-status=dead}}</ref> Along some of the entrance hallways, "Musical Skies" shows light boxes with images clouds in a blue sky.<ref name="art" /> On the upper platform in "Platform, Stage", elements from Taiwanese folk arts and [[Chinese opera]] have been transformed into abstract elements and minimized into two curtains of lines and flat surfaces.<ref name="art" />
