[2] This station is one of the featured stations of the initial section of Line 3, with the design of the concourse adopting the Lingnan architectural style, showing the style "Xiangyunsha silk" of Shunde Lunjiao as the element, extracting its wave form and showing it in the spatial form.

At that time, during the early stage of the "eight-line planning" in Foshan, it was planned that Foshan Metro Line 3 and the original Line 8 would intersect at Foshan West Railway Station, so the subway station was designed as two island platforms, the west island platform was used by Line 8, and the east island platform was used by Line 3.

Subsequently, the design of the pre-built metro station decided to deepen the station by a floor, and add a transfer passageway under the platform level to connect the two island platforms,[4] separating the flow of transfer passengers from the flow of passengers entering and leaving the station.

Subsequently, according to the relevant announcement of the Nanhai Branch of the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources, a central island platform was added to the station, which can be used to transfer to the same platform in some directions of Lines 3 and 4.
