Overview

edit

The station has two island platforms and a side platform. The side platform opened on 3 May 2007, but is only rarely used for terminating trains. The cross station-type building allows passengers to buy tickets on the second floor with connections to platforms at ground level. The station is also the origin station for most eastbound trains to Yilan, Hualien, and Taitung.
