Location

Wuhan railway station (武汉站;武漢站) is one of the three main passenger railway stations ofWuhan, the capital of China'sHubei Province. It is located northeast of Wuhan'sEast Lake, near a small lake called Yangchunhu, and is adjacent to the 3rd Ring Road. Administratively, the site is within the Wuhan'sHongshan District.

Although it shares its name with the sub-provincial city, this station was constructed rather recently; there was no Wuhan station before the construction of the Beijing-Guangzhou high speed railway, and Wuhan's main passenger railway stations wereHankou andWuchang, representing old city names before the merger, which often confused outsiders. Completed in December 2009, the station has 11 platforms and 20 tracks. It serves theBeijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong high-speed railway, theShanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu high-speed railway, and Zhengzhou/Jiujiang-bound passenger trains.

During theCOVID-19 pandemic, Wuhan suspended all public transportation effective 10AM local time on January 23, 2020. This order applied to all bus, metro, and ferry lines, as well as all outbound trains and flights.^[1] Wuhan railway station was thus closed until March 28.^[2]

The station was designed byAREP (Architecture Recherche Engagement Post-carbone), the Fourth Survey and Design Institute of China, MaP3, andSNCF-IGOA, after winning a two-phase competition in 2005. The design was inspired by the yellow crane, the symbol of Wuhan City. The distinctive roof is intended to resemble the crane's wings, and is based on asine curve. The building consists of nine separated parts, symbolizing China's nine provinces, plus a central thoroughfare.

Construction of the station began in September 2006, and was completed in December 2009. It was built byChina State Construction Engineering Corporation, which also built theWuhan Airport and theBeijing CCTV building. Construction cost exceeded 14 billionYuan (US$2 billion), including upgrades to surrounding infrastructure.^[3]

The total construction area of the station is 370,860 m² (3,991,900 sq ft), of which the station building has a 114,602 m² (1,233,570 sq ft) floor area, a 13,324 m² (143,420 sq ft) elevated pedestrian platform, a 143,664 m² (1,546,390 sq ft) non-stop pillar canopy, a 60,650 m² (652,800 sq ft) ground floor, and a 38,620 m² (415,700 sq ft) ground floor car park. The main arch spans 116 meters (381 ft), and the highest point is 58 meters (190 ft) above the ground.

Located on the main line of theBeijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway, Wuhan railway station is served by almost all trains traveling on this railway to or through Wuhan. (Only a small number of trains terminate atHankou instead.)

Some high speed trains traveling via Wuhan on theShanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu high-speed railway use Wuhan station as well, but most of them useHankou instead. The Wuhan station is also served by some high speed trains traveling to and fromNanchang (on theWuhan–Jiujiang Passenger Railway).

No "conventional" (non high-speed) trains are found in this station (due to this station is connected with high-speed line only); all of those services goes to Hankou or Wuchang stations instead.
