The station is a four-level, elevated station with two side platforms and four exits.[3] It is 134 meters long and is located at the intersection of Zuonan Rd. and Jhonghai Rd.[4]
It was originally planned to be named "Banping Mountain Station",[5] but was changed in July 2005 to its current name.[2] Because it is the first elevated station after the line emerges from underground, the aim was to create an iconic station similar to the Taipei Metro'sJiantan station.
Public artEdit
Public art in the station was designed by Ron Wood and Christian Karl Janssen.[6] Titled "Floating Forest", the artwork covers an area of 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) and is displayed on the glass canopy overlooking the tracks, at the concourse level, and along the stairways.[7] The artwork depicts many plants and insects, and tells the story of "Soul of the Land and the People in Southern Taiwan".[7]
