Guangzhou Baiyun railway station (Chinese: 广州白云站; pinyin: Guǎngzhōubáiyún zhàn) is a railway station in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It opened on 26 December 2023, and serves as a major transport hub in Guangzhou.[1]

A spur from the Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway will connect to this station. It will also be the terminus of the planned Guangzhou–Zhanjiang high-speed railway.[2]: 12  It intersects with the Beijing-Guangzhou railway and the planned Guangzhou-Qingyuan intercity railway.

History

Guangzhou Baiyun railway station is located partially on the site of the defunct Tangxi railway station, which was originally constructed in 1916. Tangxi station's northern concourse was torn down to make way for Guangzhou Baiyun station's construction.[3]

In July 2019, it was announced that the station would start construction in September. At the time, it was expected to be complete by 2022.[1]

On 2 October 2020, China Railway Construction Corporation won the bid to construct the station.[4]

Guangzhou Metro

The station is served by Line 12 of the Guangzhou Metro, as well as a connection to Line 8 (via Shitan station), and will be served by lines 22 and 24.
