Ürümqi railway station (Chinese:乌鲁木齐站;Uyghur:ئۈرۈمچی ۋوگزالى,romanized: Ürümchi békiti) is a railway station and a major transport hub for high-speed and conventional rail inÜrümqi,Xinjiang. The station was a smallhalt called Ergong before renovation.

It should not be confused withÜrümqi South railway station, which was known by the same name from 1962 until 2014, when the new train station was completed. The newer station, being much larger and grander than Ürümqi South, will assume the role of Ürümqi's primary railway station. However, trains will continue to service both, with some express services skipping through the older station.

Built primarily as the western terminus of theLanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway, for the first time high speed trains now connect the far western province to Eastern Chinese cities, allowing for express trains to reach Beijing in around 18 hours; much less than the 31 hours it previously took. Conventional rail services continue to use theLanxin railway eastwards and theNorthern Xinjiang railway westwards across the rest of the province.

The station was opened and started trial operations on July 1, 2016 with high speed services toHami.^[1]
