Xiamen Railway Station will be fully constructed and expanded next month

The reconstruction and expansion of the railway station is a national key construction project, a key livelihood project in Fujian, and a key project in Xiamen. The project content is mainly composed of two parts, ie, two stations in the north and south and municipal supporting projects. Among them, the main building has a total construction area of ​​27,600 square meters; it has an elevated waiting room with an area of ​​7,449 square meters, which is five times the existing waiting area; the design standard is 4,000 people with the highest hourly peak.

This change has enabled Xiamen Railway Station, which has not been transformed for 30 years, to usher in a “rebirth”. After the motor vehicle started operating, the number of Xiamen passenger rail passengers arrived in 2011 was 70%, an increase of 75%. After the completion of the Longsha Railway this year, the daily peak passenger flow exceeded 100,000 passengers, 30,000 more than this year's Spring Festival and the next year. After the Xiamen-Shenzhen Railway opened, this figure will continue to rise at a high speed. Therefore, if you want Xiamen Station to continue to serve the people, you must transform and expand.

At the same time, the renovation and expansion of the train station will also solve the traffic problems near the station caused by the large passenger flow, and change the status of "a pot of porridge inside and outside the station." After the reconstruction and expansion of Xiamen Railway Station, there will be two squares in the north and south, with a total area of ​​46,000 square meters. It will form a comprehensive transportation hub center integrating railways, coaches, taxis, buses, and social vehicles. In addition, the station area will also renovate Jinbang Road and Wenzeng Road, build a new station, Ping 1, and stations 1, 2, 3, and 4 to enhance traffic grooming capabilities.
