Zhengzhou railway station (simplified Chinese: 郑州站; traditional Chinese: 鄭州站; pinyin: zhèngzhōuzhàn) is a passenger railway station in Erqi District, Zhengzhou, Henan. It is located in the city center, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) southwest of the Erqi Memorial Tower. As the junction of the important Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Longhai Railway, the station is one of the busiest in China, and is called as "the heart of Chinese railway network".

History

Opened in 1904, it was a station on the Beijing-Hankou Railway (now part of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway). At the beginning, the station had only one platform and four tracks. In 1908, the Kaifeng-Luoyang Railway (now part of Longhai Railway) was put into operation, making the station an important railway junction.

In 1913, the station was renamed as Zheng County railway station (Chinese: 郑县站). Ticket offices and platform canopies were put into use in 1928 and the freight yard was constructed in 1932.[3]

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the station was severely damaged due to air strike by the Japanese army in February 1938 and the tracks between Zhengzhou and Zhongmu were destroyed in May 1938 by the flood. Services were therefore suspended.[3]

The station was taken over by the PLA in 1948. Zhengzhou Railway Administration Bureau was established in March 1949.

After 1949, the station has been expanded several times. In 1953, the freight yard was moved east to Erligang to establish a new freight station and the station became a dedicated passenger station. The station building was completed in 1959.[3]

In 1962, the marshalling yard was separated from the station to form the current Zhengzhou North railway station.[3] Canopies were added to the platforms in 1970s.

In 1987, a major renovation of the station started. The elevated waiting halls were completed and put into use in January 1992.[3] The whole project lasted 12 years and was completed with the opening of the new main station building (current east station building) in 1999.

To relieve the traffic pressure on the east plaza of the station, construction of the west station building and west plaza was started in 2007. The west station building, together with new platform canopies, the 7th elevated waiting hall and the 7th platform were put into use in 2010.[4]

On 28 December 2013, with the opening of Zhengzhou Metro Line 1,[5] the station began to have metro access on the west entrance.

The Zhengzhou-Jiaozuo Intercity Railway commenced operation in 2015,[6] making the station an integrated railway hub with conventional long distance, high-speed and intercity train services.
