This design package covers four stations and four sections of the 39.18-kilometer Phase I line, which comprises 28 stations in total. The package features four distinct stations: Wenfeng Station, an interchange station with cross-line connections (Line 1 and Line 2); Intermediate Court Station, designed with future-proofing for over-structure development; Government Center Station, integrating a roadside vent shaft; and Charity Museum Station, a standard two-level underground station.

     Core innovations include the full adoption of TOD design philosophy for Commercial Hub Integration Development, and the pioneering of a T-shaped interchange with a multi-rib structural system to create large, open commute spaces that enhance passenger flow. The project has implemented Lifecycle BIM, earning the National "Innovation Cup" BIM First Prize and an Autodesk AEC Excellence Award for its design-to-construction digital integration.

     Furthermore, the design emphasizes a Compact Station Design to minimize passenger interchange time, alongside optimized spatial layouts that enable commercial activation within the constrained urban footprints of the stations.
