This underground station has two tracks and an island platform.[4] The station's single concourse is located at the west of the station (near the bumper blocks), with all three exits extending from this concourse.[4]
There are two artworks in the station. Along the glass walls of exits A and B, the work Tree Shadow in the Gridline, by Cheung Wai-lok, features shadows of trees in order to transition the exit passageways between indoors and outdoors.[4][5] Meanwhile, on platform level, the mosaic Soaring Horizon, created by children overseen by Karen Pow Cheuk-mei, features the surrounding landscape on the horizon, including the sea.[4][5]
