Longxiangqiao was not designed to accommodate the large passenger volumes it handles today, as it is a standard-sized station.[4] Additionally, it is located close to major shopping malls, West Lake, and the West Lake Musical Fountain. During peak tourism periods, especially after the dispersal of the crowd from the Musical Fountain, due to congestion, there are often situations where access is restricted and some entrances are temporarily closed to prevent overcrowding. When passenger volumes are extremely high, the subway company will temporarily operate extra "gap trains" from Longxiangqiao to Xiaoshan International Airport to relieve overcrowding.[5]
