Info
For information on the metro station of the same name, see Shanghai South Railway Station (Shanghai Metro)Shanghai South Railway Station, also Shanghai South Station (Chinese: 上海南站; pinyin: Shànghǎi Nánzhàn), is a railway station in the city of Shanghai, China. Located in the Xuhui District, its importance is second only to the Shanghai Railway Station. After extensive renovation that was finished in 2006, the station features a modern circular design, the first of its kind in the world. The station was expected to handle 15 million passengers annually.
Shanghai South Station serves most trains to cities of Zhejiang (including Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Jinhua and Wenzhou) and the Southern provinces of China, excluding the Shanghai-Hong Kong Route. Without a Customs/Immigration checkpoint it is not capable of clearing passengers straight to Hong Kong; until such a checkpoint is constructed the Shanghai-Kowloon Through Train will continue to depart from Shanghai Railway Station.
