The two Line 12 and Line 13 concourses form a "T" shape, with Line 12 in an east-west direction and Line 13 in a north-south direction. There are elevators, escalators and stairs in the fare-paid areas of Line 12 and Line 13 for passengers to access the platforms.

The station has 5 points of entry/exit, with Exit A1 being accessible via elevator.
During planning and construction, the station was named Chatou station based on the name of the area where it's located. After becoming an interchange station between Line 12 and Line 13, the station was included in the construction scope of the second phase of Line 13. The station started construction on 29 April 2019, and entered the main construction phase on 30 November.
On 6 March 2025, the station completed the âÂÂThree Rightsâ transfer.
On 8 April 2025, the preliminary names of the stations on the west section of Line 12 were announced. Since the name of the original Chatou Village has been changed to Chalong Village, and the geography of Chalong Village has changed significantly, the station is proposed to be named Xizhou station based on the Xizhou community where it is located. Some citizens and experts believe that the more well-known district name "Chatou" should be used from the perspective of protecting the old place name; the Xizhou community where the station is located believes that the location of the station is not highly related to "Chatou" and its homophony is not elegant, and the name "Xizhou" has a better meaning. However, the authorities did not accept the relevant suggestions on the grounds that they were not very instructive, and the station was named Xizhou station the following month.
On 29 June 2025, the Line 12 station was opened.
The Line 13 section of the station is under construction. When Phase 2 of Line 13 opens, the concourse, platforms, and transfer tunnels of Line 13 will be put to use.
In addition, this station will be developed into a complex above the station in the future, and the future will have a station here. When the station was built, reserves were built for the future expansion of Line 6.
