Station overview

Xihu station platform level
Xihu station concourse

This three-level, elevated station features an island platform, two exits, and a platform elevator located on the east side of the concourse level.[2] Unlike other stations on Brown Line, the concourse of this station is located above the platform level.

On the eastern and northern walls of the station is a public art display. Titled "Crossing-Transformation", the aluminum and pottery brick piece can be perceived differently if viewed from different angles.[3]

Notably, this is the only non-terminus elevated station on the Wenhu line that features trains opening its doors on the left rather than on the right.
