This three-level, elevated station features two side platforms, two exits, and platform elevators located on the east and west sides of the concourse level.[2]

The station is located at the intersection of Chenggong Road, Sec. 5 and Kangning Road, Sec. 3. It is 83 meters long and 21.5 meters wide, while the platform is 93.5 meters long.[3]

The area around the station has many high-rise residential buildings and television stations. Because of its proximity to residential buildings along the Brown Line, it is the only station to have 3.6 meter double-curved walls to reduce noise levels.[3] The station is also designed to fit in with the casual environment of local businesses.

Design edit

The theme for this station is "Dancing", with decorative art walls in the station.[4]
