Chengdu railway station 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

This railway station is commonly called by locals as "Chinese: 火车北站" (North railway station), as the connecting Chengdu Metro station is called. However, confusingly there is another officially named Chengdu North railway station, 17km (11miles) north of this station, which is a large freight marshalling area and handles no passengers.

Connections

Chengdu railway station is the terminus of the Baoji–Chengdu railway, Chengdu–Chongqing railway, Chengdu–Kunming railway, Chengdu–Dujiangyan high-speed railway, and Dazhou–Chengdu railway.
