Of all Line 19 stations, the design of Ping'anli is probably the most distinctive and eye-catching.
Outside the station, the blue-brick and gray-tiled courtyard building style introduces natural light through the antique doors and windows into the three-storey subway pedestrian transfer hall in the station.
In addition, the ancient Shangyuan Lantern Festival is reflected in a ceiling that is decorated with lanterns during the Lantern Festival of the Ming Dynasty.
There are also columns in the station hall that are rotatable "revolving lantern" lamp posts, using a form of folk shadow puppetry to make the "revolving lanterns" suitable for movement.
