How many years are there in Guangzhou Railway Station?

Guangzhou railway station

The original site is located in Dashatou in the southeast corner of Guangzhou, formerly known as Dashatou Railway Station. Built in 19 1 1, it is the terminal of the Hua section of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway. In the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), the National Government began to build Huangpu Port in Guangzhou, and in June of 1937, it began to build a branch line of Huangpu Port from the Western Union Station (now Tangxi Station) of Guangdong-Han Railway to Huangpu Port via Shahe, Shipai and Yuzhu. 1On July 7, 937, the Lugouqiao Incident occurred and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China, broke out in an all-round way. In August of the same year, in order to obtain assistance from Britain and the United States and facilitate the delivery of goods to China, the National Government promised to connect the Guangzhou-Kowloon and Guangdong-Han highways. At that time, the Huangpu port branch line had not been laid, so the tie line was built by using the subgrade of the Huangpu port branch line. From track laying in August to Shipai 1937, it was connected with the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, which was then called the Guang Bei tie line. Since then, the Guangdong-Han Railway has been connected with the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway. After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, in order to cooperate with the comprehensive management of Guangdong-Han Railway, Guangzhou-San Railway and Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway by Guangdong-Han Railway Bureau, a "Yunyong Contact Line" was built from Yunlu, Guang Bei to Yongcun, Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway.

Let the passenger trains on the Guangdong-Han Railway go directly to Dashatou Railway Station, which was expanded into the starting station of Guangzhou-Kowloon and Guangdong-Han passenger trains and renamed as guangzhou east railway station, becoming the most important passenger railway station in Guangzhou [2].

After the founding of New China, the China section of Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway was renamed as guangzhou-shenzhen railway, and guangzhou east railway station was renamed as Guangzhou Station on 195 1. 1953, the railway ferry from Guangzhou South Station (the old Guangzhou South Station built in 190 1, also known as Huangsha Station [3]) to Shiweitang Station was completed and put into use, so that vehicles of Guangzhou-3 Railway can cross the line with Guangdong-Han and Guangzhou-Kowloon Railways. 1954, in order to make the trains of Guangzhou South Railway Station and Guangzhou No.3 Station run without passing through the curve of Guangzhou North Railway Station (now Tangxi Station) and shorten the running distance and time, Guangzhou Railway Bureau built the Liuhua Bridge connecting Guang Bei tie line and Guangzhou West Railway Station of Guangdong-Han Railway, and set Liuhua Bridge Line Station on Guang Bei tie line, which is the predecessor of Guangzhou New Passenger Station (now not Guangzhou South Railway Station) [2].

With the completion of 1957 Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Han Jing Railway and Yuehan Railway were merged into Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, 1960 Guangzhou Southwest Bridge (later renamed Zhujiang Bridge) was completed, Guangzhou-Guangzhou Railway was connected with Beijing-Guangzhou and Guangzhou-Shenzhen, and Guangzhou Railway Station was further developed into Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Yuehan and Guangzhou-Guangzhou passenger trains, with more and more passengers. At that time, other stations in Guangzhou Railway Hub were mainly freight, so Guangzhou Station became the most important railway passenger station in Guangzhou, and the passenger flow pressure was extremely heavy [2].

/kloc-in the 1950s, in order to cooperate with Tao Zhu, then secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, to build Guangzhou into "Paris of the East", the construction plan of Guangzhou new railway station was put on the agenda. 1960 In February, the Ministry of Railways decided to build a new passenger station, and with the approval of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, Liu Hua Bridge was established. In March of the same year 1 construction started. By March of the following year, most of the earth and stone works in the station yard and the square in front of the station had been completed. However, due to the damage caused by the Great Leap Forward Movement to China's national economy, the central government reduced the scale of construction investment and the new station project was stopped. 1963, Guangzhou Railway Bureau reported the request for returning to work. By 1967, the state approved the plan, but it failed to start due to the interference of the Cultural Revolution. During this period, in order to cope with the rising train density, Liuhuaqiao Line Station was upgraded to yield station on 1965, and some passenger trains were opened [2].

197 1, Guangzhou Railway Bureau declared again and approved large and medium-sized projects. In February, 1972, Guangzhou new railway station resumed work; 1974 was completed on April 10 and put into operation on April 12, and the layout of Guangzhou railway hub was adjusted accordingly. The new Guangzhou Railway Station was officially named Guangzhou Railway Station, and the original Guangzhou Railway Station in Dashatou was restored to guangzhou east railway station. 1 988 April1day, Tianhe Station was renamed guangzhou east railway station [4]. Later, guangzhou east railway station, located in Dashatou, was changed back to Dashatou Railway Station and became a "legacy" station without railway connection, which was demolished in early 1985 [5]. All its passenger transport business was gradually moved to Guangzhou New Passenger Station, temporarily converted into a simple bus technical service station, and the original Liuhuaqiao Station was cancelled. At the same time, the starting point of guangzhou-shenzhen railway and Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was changed to Guangzhou New Railway Station. Guangzhou Railway Station was the largest railway passenger hub station in South China at that time, with a total area of 6,543.8+0.2 million square meters, a waiting room area of 8,504 square meters, a ticket office area of 654.38+0.10.08 square meters, a luggage warehouse area of 3,823 square meters, 6 platforms and 3 tunnels. The tracks in the station are arranged in a mixed way of passing and ending, and the design capacity of the station is 30,000 passengers per day. At the beginning of the station, Guangzhou Station once became a new landscape landmark in Guangzhou, and various schools in Guangzhou organized students to visit it. At rush hour, the station can receive three or four groups of students a day. In addition to Guangzhou Station, Liuhua Bridge has also built new buildings such as Liu Hua Road Exhibition Hall (Sino-Soviet Friendship Building), New Guangzhou Oriental Hotel and Friendship Theatre in 1974. This complex was selected as one of 1985 "New Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" and enjoyed the reputation of "Liu Hua Yu Yu" [2].

run quickly

1979 to cooperate with the resumption of the Guangzhou-Kowloon through train between Guangzhou and Hong Kong, a joint inspection station was built on the east side of Guangzhou Station as an entry-exit port station to handle joint inspection services such as customs, quarantine and foreign currency exchange; On April 4th, the first Guangzhou-Kowloon through train, which was interrupted for 30 years, left Guangzhou Station. 198 1, Guangzhou Railway Station added a fourth platform to cope with the increase in passenger demand. 1September, 1984, the Guangzhou public transport technical operation preparation station located in the northwest of Guangzhou Railway Station was completed and put into operation, and the trains originating from Guangzhou Railway Station were organized, overhauled and prepared. The simple passenger transport technical station located in Dashatou was cancelled and closed. By 1985, the number of pairs of passenger trains originating from Guangzhou Station increased from 9 pairs of 1975 and 15 pairs of 0980 to 25 pairs [2].

A major feature of Guangzhou Railway Station is the neon slogan "Reunification of the Motherland and Revitalization of China" on the station building, which is unique among many railway stations in China. In fact, when the Guangzhou Railway Station was completed, because it was in the Cultural Revolution, the slogan hanging above the station building was "Long live the invincible Mao Zedong Thought and the great China * * * production party", which was removed after the Cultural Revolution. By July, 1986, Guangzhou Municipal Committee believed that Guangzhou, as the frontier of reform and opening up, was the first city for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents and overseas Chinese to enter Chinese mainland, and Guangzhou Railway Station was an important gateway to South China. Therefore, the Guangzhou Municipal Committee requested that a brand-new neon sign be built on the roof of Guangzhou Railway Station, with the words "reunifying the motherland and rejuvenating China" written in bold red letters, each word being 5 meters high and 5.5 meters wide. The slogan was completed on the eve of 1986+00 National Day. Due to the tight power supply at that time, neon signs increased the power consumption of the railway station by more than 30 kilowatts. In the initial stage of use, in order to save electricity, only the lighting time is required to be no less than three to four hours per night [2].

In the early1990s, the industry and commerce in southern China developed rapidly, and many people went to Guangzhou to seek a way out. Guangzhou station has become a gathering place for migrant workers. On the eve of the Spring Festival, many migrant workers rushed home for the Spring Festival, which made hundreds of thousands of migrant workers gather in Guangzhou during this period. And migrant workers do their best to board the train home has become a portrayal of Guangzhou station. At the same time, the difference of public security in Guangzhou station is also a portrayal [2].

It was not until 1996 that the Guangzhou terminal of Guangzhou through train was moved to guangzhou east railway station in Tianhe District. Since 2008, Guangzhou Railway Station has been temporarily changed to handle inter-provincial coach service during Spring Festival travel rush every year. The "Harmony" of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen line was all changed to guangzhou east railway station as the terminal and departure station. It is worth mentioning that Guangzhou Railway Station runs a pair of workers' buses every morning and evening, between Guangzhou Locomotive Depot, Tangxi Station, Da Lang Station and Jiangcun Station, with Guangzhou North Turn-back Section north of Jiangcun Station as the terminal. In addition to railway workers, there are farmers selling vegetables in the northern suburbs of Guangzhou.
