Lanzhou Railway Station, Lanzhou Train Station

At the time of my writing, there is only one passenger railway station in Lanzhou - Lanzhou Railway Station. It is located below the Gaolan Mountain in the south of Chengguan District of Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

Lanzhou is a major transport, especially a railway hub in the western China. It has the following railway lines:

To the east (Xian, Zhengzhou, Lianyungang), extending to Beijing, Shanghai..., the first railway line connecting Lanzhou (1953).

The main railyway terminal is a two-storey building 171 meters long from east to west and 47.5 wide from north to south.

The entrance is in the middle of the building.

It has two exits - east and west. So if you are going to greet disembarking passengers, be sure you are on the right exit of the two by checking the electronic signboard overhead.

In the building, to the west of the main entrance is the ticket booking hall, where you can buy your train tickets for other destinations.

To the east of the main entrance is a supermarket, where you can buy the local products.

The KFC restaurant is just in the east of the main terminal building.

In front of the main terminal building is the train station square which is the parking lot for private vehicles and a place for leisure.

The taxi stand is northwest to the square in front of the main terminal building. If you come out of the main building, then the taxi stand is on your left hand, on the edge of the square. |

Taking a taxi from the station to the city center costs you about RMB 12, to the Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport about RMB 150.

If you are going to take a local public bus, then you walk to the west of the square ( on your right hand if you just left the exit of the terminal building).

A large post office is also to the west of the square beside the public bus control center.

If you want to connect a long distance bus for other destinations, then you just walk about 200 meters westward along the road before the square in front of the terminal building, and you will find the Lanzhou Passenger Center - the largest long-distance bus station in Lanzhou.
