HSR station layout The Taiwan High Speed Rail section of the station is underground with two side platforms. Prior to the abolition of Taoyuan Air Force Base, Taoyuan Air Force Base had set an altitude limit for the construction of Taiwan High Speed Rail, which is why the high-speed rail station is underground.
Prior to the opening of Taiwan High Speed Rail, the area this station is located in, Qingpu, was very deserted and distant from Central Taoyuan. This has begun to change after the opening of Taiwan High Speed Rail, with major developments such as the opening of a new outlet mall, an IKEA store, and an indoor aquarium. Twenty-two hectares around the station are reserved for commercial and industrial development, with the goal of developing the area into an international commercial city.
