Caojiawan is a station on Line 6 of the Chongqing Rail Transit system in Chongqing, China. The station, located in the Beibei District north of the Jialing River, opened in 2015 as an infill station on Line 6's branch to Caijiagang.

The station has three entrances, of which only one is currently open.[1][2] All three entrances surface in barren fields that are overgrown with weeds. The station entrances became the subject of national and international attention,[3] used as a sign of China's rapid rail expansion.[2][4]
