This three-level, elevated station features two side platforms, three exits, and a platform elevator located on the north side of the concourse level.[2] It is located on Kangning Road, Sec. 3.
The station is 83 meters long and 21.5 meters wide, while the platform is 93.5 meters long.[3] The station's height is 20 meters (the equivalent of a six-story building) to accommodate the Wufen Road footbridge. It has thus been called the "Zenith Station" and is the tallest station on the Taipei Metro.
Design
The station design theme is "Music".[4] Surface designs in the station square represent a dancing musical staff. Silk fabric is printed on enamel slab art walls at the concourse level to represent romantic urban music.[5]
Located next to the entrance, public art for the station is titled "The Rippling Lake".[6] Porcelain and celadon are used to create ripples on the art piece.
