Qingdao railway station


Qingdao railway station is a railway station in Qingdao, Shandong, in the People's Republic of China. In the years leading up to the 2008 Summer Olympics, the station underwent a significant renovation in order to accommodate increased passenger traffic for the Olympic period and afterwards. The new station is an example of German architectural traits incorporated into a Chinese-designed building, which is consistent with many structures in Qingdao.
As a time-honoured station of Qingdao, it receives and departs more than 100 common passenger trains, initially scheduled CRH trains and some intercity CRH trains in one day. Limited by a relatively small number of platforms, most newly scheduled trains eventually will not stop here, Instead, terminating at the larger Qingdao North railway station.
There are also trains that stop at both Qingdao North and Qingdao stations.

History

The station opened in 1901.
