Hangzhoudong (Hangzhou East) railway station (simplified Chinese: 杭州东站; traditional Chinese: 杭州東站; pinyin: Hángzhōudōng zhàn) is a railway station located in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China. Originally built as a small station serving the Shanghai-Kunming railway, it has been rebuilt as a high-speed rail hub, which became operational on 1 July 2013.
The old station opened in 1992,[2] located on Tiancheng Road. It was closed on 20 January 2010,[3] and demolished.[4] Its train services were moved to Hangzhou railway station and Hangzhou South railway station.[3]
A new station was built on the site. It officially opened on 1 July 2013, in conjunction with the opening of the Hangzhou–Ningbo High-Speed Railway and Nanjing–Hangzhou Passenger Railway. The station also serves the Shanghai–Hangzhou Passenger Railway. It has 30 railway tracks, and stations for Hangzhou Metro lines 1 and 4.[5] A coach station and bus terminals are also part of the new transit hub.[4]
Hangzhou East railway station is served by a station of the same name on Line 1 and Line 4 of Hangzhou Metro. This station offers paired cross-platform interchange for passengers riding between 4 directions of the two lines.
The metro station for Line 6 and Line 19 is a separated station called "East Railway Station (East Square)".[1]
