China's railways are not only accessible in all directions, even railway stations are "a hundred flowers blooming" with their own characteristics, so which of China's railway stations is stronger? Today we will explore the "exclusive skills" of China's railway stations.
First, let's talk about the "busy people" of China's railway stations, that is, the stations with the most stops in China, and the industry believes that it is Guangzhou South Railway Station according to research data. As the saying goes, "look at Guangzhou before the Spring Festival", Guangzhou South Railway Station is known as "China's largest passenger flow of high-speed rail station". During the peak period of the Spring Festival in 2020 alone, there are nearly 400,000 passengers in a day, we take the data of August 11, 2015 as an example (this data has a certain universality), why is Guangzhou South Railway Station the most "busy"?
From the perspective of geographical and quantitative distribution: Guangzhou South Railway Station is a large hub station, access to the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway Guiguang high-speed railway, Nanguang railway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai city rail and Guangdong West Coastal Railway, is the core railway station of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Pan-Pearl River Delta region, is one of the stations of the Guangzhou Railway Passenger Hub, the identity is a large hub without compromise; secondly, Guangzhou South Railway Station is located in the Pearl River Delta economically developed, on the one hand, there is sufficient passenger flow, On the other hand, there is ample funding to build such a large hub station and these lines. According to statistics, Guangzhou South Railway Station has a total investment of 13 billion yuan, the station consists of two squares in the east and west and the main station building reflecting the cultural characteristics of Lingnan in Guangdong, with a total construction area of about 615,000 square meters, even during the Spring Festival, Guangzhou South Railway Station will not be very congested.
If the first two points can only make Guangzhou South Railway Station rank in the top three, then the last point is enough to make it rank first, and the key lies in the road bureau, which is the legendary hub status. For example, the Shanghai Railway Bureau is more local tycoon, the bottom of the car is the most and the driving is particularly diligent, and for example, it is necessary to ensure the hub status of the location of the Road Bureau, so there are more transfers there, so Guangzhou South Railway Station has an abnormal level of departure and end-to-end trains. For example, if Brother Lightning wants to go from Nanning to Fuzhou, he must first take the train from Nanning East to Guangzhou South, and experience a bitter transfer from Guangzhou South, so there could have been 1 train from Nanning East to Fuzhou to become 2 trains that start and end, and in fact you have to change trains again in Shenzhen.
Speaking of this, you may think of Shanghai Hongqiao Station, is the design concept subverting the definition of "traditional railway station", set high-speed railway, intercity railway, maglev highway passenger transport, urban rail transit, civil aviation and other modes of transport in one of the Shanghai Hongqiao Station is not busy enough? But it seems that the Shanghai dynamic bureau is more willing to put the beginning and end in the dynamic situation. Perhaps you have heard of lu'an, Huainan east, Jiangshan, Cangnan these small starting stations, so that these trains through the big cities along the line can take care of as much as possible to more areas in the bureau, even for the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou triangle area, Shanghai-Nanjing to Shanghai-Hangzhou there are quite a lot of cross-line cars.
Maybe you think of Beijing South Railway Station, which is a high-speed rail station in Beijing, but its hub is not large and the station is small, and the receiving capacity is still insufficient, so although Beijing South is the end station, it is still difficult to compete with Guangzhou South Railway Station.
What about Hangzhou East Railway Station? As the transportation hub with the most complete connection function in Hangzhou and an important part of the Hangzhou railway hub, Hangzhou East Railway Station, which is one of the largest railway hub stations in China, will be reduced after the completion of the transformation of Hangzhou South Railway Station, and is now almost in a state of overload operation.
As the largest transportation hub in East China and a national railway hub, Nanjing South Railway Station is the largest railway station in Asia and the largest high-speed rail station in Asia.
Therefore, there is no high-speed rail station that can pose a de facto threat to Guangzhou South Railway Station, and Guangzhou South Railway Station will be the "busiest" throne for a long time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > let's talk about the "natural beauty" of the railway stations</h1>
Menyuan Station (Lanxin Kezhuan), it is located in the famous Menyuan rape flower sea, behind the "backer" is Dabanshan Mountain, due to the high altitude, the rape flowers here will open later than the eastern region. In July, when the local rape flowers are in full bloom, against the background of the deep blue sky of the plateau, the rape flowers are inlaid on both sides of the Haomen River, and the rich yellow flowers and speeding trains together form a magnificent but exquisite shocking scenery. Even in areas where there are no rape flowers, the quiet but full of human fireworks in the farm fields under The DabanShan Mountain is a scene that is difficult to find in the hustle and bustle of the city now.
Ejina Station (Lince Railway), since Ejina Banner is famous for its poplar forests, the unique desert railway landscape here is also very charming for railway enthusiasts. Imagine the train carrying smoke and dust through the desert, and the roar of the diesel engine ringing through the sky, is it evocative? If you're lucky enough, you can also see the Mongolian characteristic old-fashioned water tank truck.
In addition, on the east side of Ejina Station, you can also see the unique railway building "Sand-proof Myeongdong" in the desert area, which is similar to the tunnel but different, it is not to pass through the mountain, but to prevent the invasion of wind and sand, and it exists as a glorious and great protective warrior.
Hanyuan Station (Chengkun Railway), on the west side of Hanyuan Station, the rushing Dadu River gushes forward, less than 2 kilometers away from the station, is the Dadu River Iron Bridge, in addition to the passage of trains, it is also an important pedestrian passage for villagers on both sides of the river. Crossing the river along the Dadu River Bridge through Lizi Yida Village will reach the site of the Grandma Bao Tunnel, which is also the site of the Lizi Yida Accident, which has suffered the heaviest casualties in the history of Chinese railways. Decades have passed, and the piers left over from the accident stand there alone, as if telling us about that tragic and painful history.
Let's talk about some stations that are extremely far from the city. Here we have to mention the famous "Four Famous North" stations. Because the station is located far from the main city, they are recognized by train fans as the "four famous norths".
Yangquan North Railway Station, which is located in Sunjiazhuang Town, Lu County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, is 4 km from the county seat of Lu County and 47 km from Yangquan City.
Panjin North Railway Station, it is located in Sunjia Village, Tianshui Township, Panshan County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province, 6 km from Goubangzi Town and 40 km from Panjin City.
Xiaogan North Railway Station, which is located in Gaodian Township, Dawu County, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, is 10 kilometers away from the county seat of Dawu County and 100 kilometers away from Xiaogan City.
Shaoyang North Railway Station, it is in Pingshang Town, Xinshao County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, 54 kilometers away from Shaoyang Station.
The next thing we want to say is that the two cities are the closest high-speed rail stations to each other's city center, which are Xiantao West Station and Tianmen South Station.
Tianmen South Railway Station is 43 kilometers away from the center of Tianmen, but only 16 kilometers away from the center of Xiantao, while Xiantao West Station is 39 kilometers away from the center of Xiantao and 25 kilometers away from the center of Tianmen, so everyone has been circulating a tongue twister: "Passengers going to Xiantao, please get off at Tianmen South Station; passengers going to Tianmen, please get off at Xiantao West Station." However, the tongue twister is a tongue twister after all, in fact, passengers who go to Tianmen also get off at Tianmen South Station, and Xiantao West Station due to inconvenient transportation, only a small number of passengers in Sanfutan and other areas will go to Xiantao West Station or get off at Xiantao West Station.
Now That China's high-speed rail network has expanded from "four verticals and four horizontals" to "eight vertical and eight horizontal", more and more cities have joined the ranks of high-speed rail hub stations, and there are more and more debates pointing to who is the largest and most powerful high-speed rail station in China, the largest in Asia, and the largest in the world. Of course, so far this has not come to a convincing conclusion. And Brother Lightning feels that for China's infrastructure maniac, the railway stations are not the best but better.
