Beijing railway station

Beijing railway station

Beijing Railway Station (zh-cp|c=北京站|p=Běijīng Zhàn) is one of Beijing's railway stations, opened in the 1950s, as can be seen from its architecture (which merges traditional architecture with 50s-design). It is located in an extremely central location, just next to Jianguomen, and is within the confines of the city's 2nd Ring Road. Trains enter and leave to the scenery of a former Beijing city gate at Dongbianmen.

The traffic load of Beijing Railway Station has decreased somewhat with the opening of the Beijing West Railway Station in 1996. Still, it remains a busy railway station, handling trains to and from northern and coastal southern China. Some international lines (notably the railway line linking Beijing to Pyongyang, North Korea (DPRK), amongst others), also depart from this station.

The Beijing Subway system used to terminate at Beijing Railway Station back in the 1960s and 1970s. This underground station still exists to this day, and forms part of the Line 2 underground line.

Numerous bus and trolleybus lines pass through the railway station.

The order at the railway station has been complicated recently through roadworks on the eastern road. The western road leading to the station has already been completed in full.
