Located at the intersection of Zhufeng Highway and Huqingping Highway, the station is named after the nearby Zhujiajiao town, an ancient canal town and major tourist attraction in Shanghai. The station is served by Line 17 trains and is situated between Dianshanhu Avenue and Oriental Land, the western terminus of the line. It opened with the rest of Line 17 on 30 December 2017.
