This underground station has an island platform for the Zhonghe-Xinlu line and has two side platforms for the Songshan-Xindian line. It is located beneath the intersection of Songjiang Rd. and Nanjing East Rd. (hence the name of the station), and opened in November 2010 with the opening of the Luzhou Line and the Taipei City section of the Xinzhuang Line.

- Earth: Business in the City Jungle
- Fire: University in a Flash
- Water: Office Under the Sea
- Wind: Coffee Shop Floating in the Clouds
