Zhangzhou Railway Station - P1260582 - |Zhangzhou Railway Station

The railway arrangements in Zhangzhou have undergone significant changes recently. Since mid-2012 and there are two passenger stations in the Zhangzhou metropolitan area: Zhangzhou Railway Station and Zhangzhou East Railway Station.

The spacious new

• Zhangzhou Railway Station GPS 24.459403, 117.711472 (which was known as Zhangzhou South during the planning stage) sits on the new high-speed railway (the Xiamen-Shenzhen line) about 10 kilometers south of downtown Zhangzhou. Many of the high-speed trains travelling along the coast from Xiamen, Fuzhou and points north to Shenzhen stop here. There is also high-speed service inland to Longyan; many of the conventional trains from Xiamen to destinations in the interior of China use that line too.

The older Zhangzhou East Railway Station GPS 24.567587, 117.739882 is remarkably inconveniently located (miles away from the city, with few signs posted along the road, and fairly limited bus service; even some of the local residents have only a vague idea as to where it is). Before the opening of the new Zhangzhou Railway Station all trains between Xiamen and the interior of China had to pass through Zhangzhou East station. Now many of them have been rerouted to the new rail line south of the city and the new Zhangzhou Railway Station, but a few (slower) trains still run through Zhangzhou East.

Finally and there is the Zhangzhou North Station, just north of downtown Zhangzhou. Don't go there: even though older maps still call it "Zhangzhou Station" (this is how it was called until 2011), it has no passenger service anymore.
