Two of the entrances are connected with an existing pedestrian underpass.

The station is constructed under the existing Siyuan Road pedestrian passage. In addition, the location of the station includes many utility pipelines that could not be relocated. Thus, due to the limited construction area, the station was not constructed using the cut-and-cover method employed in other stations. Instead, construction used the pipe jacking method from sidewalks, outer lanes of roads, and the spaces between Dahan Bridge piers.{{cite web|url=http://www2.dorts.gov.tw/news/newsletter/ns281/281-05.htm|title=Pipe Jacking Method Applied to Underground Pedestrian Passage|publisher=Department of Rapid Transit Systems|date=2011-07-01|accessdate=2011-07-22}}
