Guangzhounan (Guangzhou South) railway station ( simplified Chinese: 广州南站; traditional Chinese: 廣州南站; Jyutping: gwong2 zau1 naam4 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Gwóngjāu Nàahm Jaahm) is located in Shibi, Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. It is a large modern rail terminal 17 kilometres (11 mi) south of central Guangzhou. For a brief time it was Asia's largest railway station by area when it officially started operation in early 2010. [1]
The station, designed by TFP Farrells, remains the largest in Guangzhou. It is one of the four largest railway passenger transportation hubs in China. [2] [3] It is an interchange station and a terminus between the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong XRL, Guangzhou- Maoming Railway, Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway and Beijing-Guangzhou HSR. [4] [5] This station is intended to replace the existing Guangzhou railway station as the dominant station in Guangzhou. Together with Guangzhou railway station, Guangzhou East and Guangzhou North railway stations, the station will jointly form one of six planned National Railway Passenger Transportation Centres by the Chinese Ministry of Railways. [6]
Guangzhou South railway station is also a comprehensive transportation hub; passengers can interchange between high-speed long-distance trains, Metro, long-distance and local buses, taxi, etc. Guangzhou Metro Line 2, Line 7 and Line 22 and Foshan Metro Line 2 are located at or near the bottom of station complex. The formation of a centralized transfer center will see connections with the future Guangzhou Metro Line 20. [9]
Panyu railway station operated by Guangdong Intercity is under construction and will be situated underneath Guangzhou South, allowing for transfer between the two stations.
