Nanjing Railway Station

Nanjing Railway Station is a major railway station of Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. It is located in the northern part of Nanjing's urban core (just a short walk outside of the city wall), near Xuanwu Lake. At the station, you can appreciate the beautiful scenery of Nanjing.

Until 2010, this was the main railway station of Nanjing, with the great majority of all trains serving Nanjing using this station. Only a small number of trains, going to the destinations to the southwest of Nanjing, pass through the (old) Nanjing South Railway Station, which is located south of Nanjing's walled city; service to Nanjing West Railway Station has been suspended.

After the opening of new Nanjing South Railway Station in the southern part of greater Nanjing in mid-2010, many of the high-speed trains serving Nanjing have been re-routed to that new station. However, Nanjing station has frequent high-speed service to Shanghai main station and Shanghai Hongqiao station, some services also stopping at Zhengjiang, Changzhou and Suzhou.

Nanjing Railway Station station is served by a station of the same name on Line 1 of Nanjing Metro. It is also the terminal for many of the city bus lines.
