Statistics

It has a length of 199.68 m (655.1 ft), a width of 20.8 m (68 ft), a height of 14.46 m (47.4 ft), and it covers an area of 11,015 m2 (118,560 sq ft). [3]

Decorations

Since Line 2 of the Nanjing Metro is centered on Chinese traditional festivals, the theme of this station's decorations is the Qixi Festival. [4] At 700 m2 (7,500 sq ft), It features the largest painting area of any Line 2 station, [4] if not the entire Nanjing Metro system. Several traditional romance stories can be seen if one looks up at the ceiling, such as Niulang and Zhinü, Houyi and Chang'e and so on. [5]

In April 2013, the station became the second in the Nanjing Metro system, after Xuezelu, to install a set of "musical stairs" leading up from the station platform. [6] The stairs, christened "music stairs" (音乐楼梯), were intended to play chords from the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto whenever passengers would use the stairs. However, repeated wear and tear on the steps has caused loss of this unique functionality. [7]
