In 1923, opened on the current site of Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, during the
Japanese period. It was later the site of the Yuanshan Baseball Ground (). Zhongshan Soccer Stadium opened in 1989, constructed under the guidance of then
Chinese Taipei Football Association President
Chiang Wei-kuo. Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, being one of the major parts of the Yuanshan area, would serve as the primary venue of the exhibition featuring indoor activities. To prepare for the expo, the stadium was closed in 2008. Its closure was delayed by a few months, so that it could host the
2010 FIFA World Cup qualification and
2008 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers, as it was the only FIFA-approved soccer stadium in Taiwan at the time.
Integration into Expo Park As planned by the Taipei City Government, the stadium was later integrated into Taipei Expo Park, hosting such amenities like the Expo Dome and MAJI Hall. The seating area of the former stadium now functions as a community garden, where about 500 people tend to about 1,400 planters. ==Transportation==
