Public Art

Taking into account the nearby Xingtian Temple, the station has the "Eight Generals" (八家將; bajiajiang) masks and tiles as public art displays. Due to the anticipated passenger traffic through the station, the art displays were constructed out of ceramics for easier maintenance and protection from accidents.[8]
