The station is the deepest metro station in the world. The deepest point of the station is 116 meters (381 ft) below street level[4][5][6][7] and the top of rail is 106 meters (348 ft) below the surface.[8] Regardless, the depth breaks China's previous record depth of Line 10's Hongtudi station[9] and surpasses the depth of the Kyiv Metro's Arsenalna station, the previous record for deepest metro station.
The vertical height difference between Entrance 2 and Entrance 4 of the station is over 141 meters (463 ft).[10] From Entrance 2, passengers will need to take a three-segment ascending moving walkway that is approximately 105 meters long, and it takes about 6 minutes to access the Line 9 platform; while from Entrance 4, its a seven-segment descending escalator ride that takes about 8 minutes (if not by lift).[11]
