Chengdu railway station (simplified Chinese: 成都火车站; traditional Chinese: 成都火車站; pinyin: Chéngdū Huǒchē Zhàn) is a major railway station in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. The station is located on North Second Ring Road, Jinniu District, to the North of the city centre. It is operated by China Railway Chengdu Group and is one of the most important hubs of the railway network in China.

Chengdu railway station can be reached by taking Chengdu Metro Line 1 and Line 7 and the Chengdu BRT.

From 11 October 2022, the station will be closed for refurbishment with passenger services diverted to other stations in Chengdu.[1] It will be served by Chengdu–Chongqing Central line high-speed railway when the renovation completed.

Naming Custom

[edit]

Opened in 1952, Chengdu railway station is commonly called by locals as "火车北站" (North railway station) for decades to distinguish from Chengdu South railway station opened in 1970, called as "火车南站" (South railway station). And the connecting Chengdu Metro station is called so. However, outsiders may get confused because there is another officially named Chengdu North railway station established in 2007, 17 km (11 mi) north of this station, which is a large freight marshalling area and handles no passengers.
