Tianjin Railway Station

　　Tianjin Railway Station is located in the city center of Tianjin, at the junction of Heping, Hedong, and Hebei districts. It sits on the banks of the Haihe River in the heart of Tianjin and is the city's primary railway transportation hub. The station is situated on Haihe East Road in Hebei District, Tianjin.

　　Tianjin Railway Station was first built in 1886 and began operation in October 1888. In 1892, a passenger station was established about 500 meters west of the original site, then called Laolongtou Station. It was China's earliest and largest railway station. The station was destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion and the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900, and was later rebuilt after the war. It was renamed Tianjin Station in 1949. The station underwent reconstruction in 1988, being rebuilt and expanded after the demolition of the former Laolongtou Station. In 2007, it began another round of renovation and expansion, officially reopening on August 1, 2008. Tianjin Railway Station is a major passenger hub located at the intersection of three key railway lines in the Tianjin hub: the Beijing–Shanhaiguan Line, the Tianjin–Pukou Line, and the Beijing–Kowloon Line (connecting line). It is also the largest railway passenger station in Tianjin.
