The station is located in Fenglin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan, on the southern end of the Xikou Tunnel, which crosses the Shoufeng River.

The station is located at the entrance of Harvest Ranch and Resort, which is owned by Shin Kong.

The original Japanese-era Taitung line, built in a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) gauge, crossed the Shoufeng River on a bridge to the east of the current tracks.

[4] In 2011, during the planning phase of the electrification of the Taitung line, local residents and the Shin Kong Group petitioned for a new station to be built in Linrong.

However, groundbreaking for the station was delayed until 7 December 2015 due to issues with acquiring a building permit.
