Concourse
The station has two concourse levels, the first basement floor is the upper concourse shared by Guangfo line and Line 3, and the second basement floor is the lower concourse dedicated to Line 3. Both concourses are equipped with ticket machines, automatic card vending and recharge machines, customer service centers and other facilities.
The concourse and platform of the Guangfo line are decorated with the unified brown ceramic plates like all other Guangfo line stations. At the same time, as one of the characteristic stations of the initial section of Line 3, the overall decoration of the extension of Line 3 extracts lotus and water ripple elements. The Line 3 section of the upper concourse is a hollow design atrium, and its ceiling is painted with the "Qingming River Map" mural.[3]
The south side of the Guangfo line part of the upper concourse and the north side of the lower concourse are divided into fare-paid areas, where elevators, escalators, and stairs are installed for passengers to access the platforms. On the east side of the Guangfo line concourse, a separate fare-paid area is divided for passengers using the elevator connecting to the Guangfo line platform.

In the future, the Xincheng Dong-Shijilian section, including this station, will be separated from the Guangfo Metro and extended at both ends to form Foshan Metro Line 6 for independent operation. After the line is implemented and completed, this station will be changed to a station of Foshan Line 6 in the future and will no longer belong to the Guangfo line.[6]

The station for the initial phase of Guangzhou Metro Line 28 (Fosuiguan Intercity) is expected to be located on the east side of Huazhang Road and Foshan News Center, and there will be a transfer passageway set up via the concourse.
