Description
A train using the crossover to turn around just west of the station
The station is located at the intersection of Huqingping Highway and Xuejian Road, in the Qingpu District of Shanghai. It is named after the nearby Oriental Land, which is a large park overlooking Dianshan Lake. The station's location is directly across Huqingping Highway from the park's main entrance. It is currently the westernmost station in the Shanghai Metro network. The largest fare that can be incurred on the network, 16 yuan, is between Oriental Land and Dishui Lake.[1]
The station structure is elevated, with the platforms located one level above the street. The platform level consists of an island layout. Trains disembark passengers on the north platform (Platform 1), then proceed to turnaround at a crossover just west of the station, before returning to pick up passengers on the south platform (Platform 2). The street level of the station also serves as its concourse, with a service counter. Like all stations on Line 17, the station is fully accessible. The concourse and platform levels are connected by an elevator within the fare-paid zone. Toilets are located at the platform level, at the east end of the platform.[2]
A short section of track has been built to the west of the station as a reserve for a future westerly extension of Line 17.[3]
