Shenzhen railway station (formerly Shum Chun station), also unofficially known as Luohu railway station, is located across from Luohu Commercial City in Nanhu Subdistrict, Luohu District of Shenzhen, Guangdong. It is the southern terminus of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway.
It is one of the two stations with high-speed rail service in Luohu District. The other station is Luohu North railway station, which is currently under construction on Shenzhen–Shanwei high-speed railway.[1]
Shenzhen railway station was first opened as Shum Chun, as the last stop of the Chinese section of the Kowloon–Canton Railway on 8 October 1911. This station is situated in Dongmen, in what was then the market town of Shenzhen/Shum Chun. It was relocated near its current location on the China-Hong Kong border, opposite Lo Wu station, in 1950. However, the station was in turn demolished in 1983 but successively rebuilt and remodeled multiple times to its current scale.[2] [3]
The station is located just north of the boundary with Hong Kong in a north–south alignment. Moreover, the Guangshen Railway joins the East Rail line just south of the station, where Lo Wu station on the Hong Kong MTR is located. The Shenzhen Metro system has Luohu station nearby on a lower level and connected with Shenzhen railway station.

Shenzhen railway station will be the main hub for inter-city trains in Guangdong Province, for example, and some of its current long-distance trains to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guilin and Fuzhou will be relocated to Shenzhen East railway station in the future. The higher-speed trains (up to 200 km/hour speed) between Shenzhen and Guangzhou/Guangzhou East railway station, however, will stay.[4]
