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 modernrail 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 byTFP Farrells, remains the largest in Guangzhou. It is one of the four largest railway passengertransportation hubs in China.[2][3] It is aninterchange station and aterminus between theGuangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong XRL, Guangzhou-Maoming Railway,Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway andBeijing-Guangzhou HSR.[4][5] This station is intended to replace the existingGuangzhou railway station as the dominant station in Guangzhou. Together with Guangzhou railway station,Guangzhou East andGuangzhou North railway stations, the station will jointly form one of six planned National Railway Passenger Transportation Centres by theChinese 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 MetroLine 2,Line 7,Line 22 andFoshan 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 byGuangdong Intercity starts operation since 26 May 2024,[10][11] while for transferring between Guangzhou South Railway Station andPanyu railway station, no internal transfer walkway was available meaning that an external transfer,[11] involving "exit-and-enter" at two different gates, together with a security check[12] conducted in-between, is required.
