The station has three entrances, as of July 2017 only one is open.[1][2] Originally, all three entrances surfaced in barren fields that were overgrown with weeds. The station entrances became the subject of national and international attention,[3] used as a sign of China's rapid rail expansion.[2][4] By November 2019, the avenue around the station was mostly completed, with the developer expecting it to be completed in early 2020.[5]
