The Beijing West Railway Station (北京西站Chinese, Pinyin Běijīng Xikezhan ), in short: Beijing West (北京西, Běijīng Xī ) is located in western Beijing's Xuanwu District. It was opened in 1996 after three years of construction. The cost was converted $ 750 million. Since then, the long-distance routes begin in the west and south of China from here, the routes to the north and east, however, continue to begin at the Central Station. The high-speed train to Tianjin and Shanghai start at South Station.

The station was expanded in 2000 and covers an area of over 510,000 square meters, making it the largest railway station in Asia. On an average day 150000-180000 passengers are carried, even at peak times, up to 400,000 per day.
