Station overview

The station is an elevated structure with one island platform, two side platforms, and one-sided exit. The washrooms are inside the entrance area.

Just north of the station, there are crossovers between the Tamsui Line and the Xinbeitou Branch Line, and between the tracks of each individual line, in both directions. Also to the north, the two Tamsui Line tracks cross over each other not at grade.

South of the station, the four tracks merge into two and cross over each other at a flying junction, and there are crossovers to allow trains from Daan to terminate here.
