The Taipei Metro Guting Station is located in the Zhongzheng and Daan districts in Taipei, Taiwan.[2] It is an interchange station with Xindian Line, Zhonghe Line, and the Xinzhuang Line (under construction).
The defunct TRA Xindian Line also had a station of the same name. However, its location is not the same as the current station.
