The two-level underground station makes use of island platforms and has three exits. The station is 243 meters long and 20.5 meters wide. [4] Blue line trains from Kunyang or Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center terminate here during non-rush hours.
The entrance to the station was designed as an arch bridge (from "qiao" in Banqiao, meaning "bridge"). It is also meant to represent a "cloud wall", a characteristic of traditional Chinese gardening; the station is located next to Yuanzhi Memorial Garden. [4]
Public art in the station consists of a piece titled "River Romance", which combined LED lamps with glass sticks to create a color-changing "river of time". Poems are engraved on the glass sticks, which look like moving waves from a distance. [5]
