The Former Site of Pukou Railway Station

Nanjing North Railway Station (Chinese: 南京北站) is a railway station in Nanjing's Pukou District which was built in 1914. Located near the northern shore of the Yangtze River, it was a busy station because people had to get off the train and cross Yangtze River by ferry, and to resume the journey from the Nanjing West Railway Station on the southern bank of the river.

After Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was built, the use of the station declined. Presently, it has no passenger service.

The main plot of Zhu Ziqing’s famous Prose "The Sight of Father’s Back" happened in Nanjing's Pukou Railway Station. Many movies and TV series, which reflect 20s and 30s of the 20th century, including the " Sun Yat-sen", "National Anthem", "Romance in the rain", etc., were shot here.

In 2013, the former site of Pukou Railway Station was added to the list of The Seventh Batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.
