The station opened on November 11, 1999 and was initially called Chichang before being renamed to Qizhang in 2003. This name change reflected a renewed connection to the area's local heritage and historical roots.
The station features ticket machines and multiple marked exits leading to different streets for easy navigation. Expect significant crowds during morning and evening commute hours, so arriving earlier is advisable if you prefer a calmer passage through the station.
