Station overview
This three-level, elevated station features an island platform, two exits, and a platform elevator located on the east side of the concourse level.[2] Unlike other elevated stations on Brown Line, the concourse of this station is located above the platform level.
On the eastern and northern walls of the station is a public art display. Titled "Crossing-Transformation", the aluminum and pottery brick piece can be perceived differently if viewed from different angles.[3]
Apart from the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center station, this is the only other elevated station on the Wenhu line that features trains opening its doors on the left rather than on the right.
