Station layout

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is a brick structure resembling a traditional warehouse. Besides a staffed ticket windown, the waiting room doubles as an exhibition area featuring local products. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge.[3][2]
