Introduction to Beijing Railway Station:
Beijing Railway Station is the transportation hub of Beijing. Metro Line 2 passes through here. There are many bus stops and departure stations in front of the station, as well as long-distance buses to the surrounding areas of Beijing. Beijing Railway Station was moved to its present site on 1959, which is an important hub for railway passenger transport in China.
Before the completion of 1996 Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing Railway Station was the most important railway station in Beijing, with the largest scale and the most advanced equipment. The trains originating from Beijing Railway Station are bound for all parts of the country, and it is the station with the largest passenger flow in the country. Even after the completion of Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing Railway Station is still busy.
Beijing Railway Station mainly undertakes the passenger transport tasks of beijing-baotou railway, Beijing-Qinhuangdao Railway, beijing-harbin railway, beijing-shanghai railway and Jingcheng Railway, and there are international passenger trains from Beijing Railway Station to Pyongyang, Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar and Moscow. Beijing Railway Station is not only an important window of China's capital, but also an important window of China's people and country. It is known as the "welcome door of the capital".
It was built in the 27th year of Guangxu (190 1), and the original site is located at Qianmen. After the founding of New China, the original station was not enough, so we decided to build a new station.
