[2] The station situates at the intersection of Jinghan Avenue and Dazhi Road, immediately above the historic site of the Dazhimen railway station of the depleted Jinghan Railway (simplified Chinese: 京汉铁路; traditional Chinese: 京漢鐵路; pinyin: Jīnghàn Tiělù), which exited revenue service in 1991.

The station is also adjacent to Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel connecting Dazhi Road in Hankou to Youyi Avenue and Shahu Bridge in Wuchang.

The station has two side platforms accommodating a pair of tracks, and is equipped with attended customer service concierges, automatic ticket vending machines, and accessible ramps.

A single refuge siding is constructed just south of the station for trains to enter and exit service during peak/off-peak hours.

The station for Line 6 is underground, with an island platform aligned with Dazhi Road.
