History The construction of this station began in July 2005 and was completed in November 2013. It served as the former southern terminus of the Tamsui-Xinyi line, before its replacement by Guangci/Fentian Temple station on August 30, 2026. The Circular line will make an out-of-station interchange with the Tamsui-Xinyi line at this station.
Construction The station is long, wide, and deep. It has three entrances, two elevators for the disabled, and two vent shafts.
Due to space limitations caused by the Xinyi Expressway, a vehicle overpass, and Taiwan Power Company culverts, the station was constructed using the pipe jacking method instead of the usual cut-and-cover method.
