Station Overview
The station is an elevated structure with one island platform and two exits. The station is situated on the West of Yumen Street, between Kulun Street and Jiuquan Street. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.
In consideration of the large crowds to the nearby Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, the upcoming 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition estimated to attract 6 million visitors, and passenger safety especially along the tracks, Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation announced that automatic platform gates would be installed at this station, Taipei City Hall, and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. It would be the first elevated, high-capacity station in the system with automatic platform gates.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
