Qinghe railway station (Chinese: 清河站; pinyin: Qīnghé zhàn) is a railway station in Beijing. The old station began its construction in 1905 and opened in 1906. The station closed on October 31, 2016, to be rebuilt into a new high-speed railway station on the Beijing-Baotou Passenger-Dedicated Line opened on December 30, 2019.[2]

The new station occupies an area of 146,000 m2 (1,570,000 sq ft), and the waiting hall is near 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft). It has four island platforms and eight railway lines, including two main lines (Screen doors are set on the main line platforms). The station together with Beijing North railway station is the terminal of Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway, which is the vital supporting infrastructure of 2022 Winter Olympics.

Design edit

AREP collaborated with China Railway Engineering Consulting Group designed this station in 2016.[3] The overall design philosophy is to blend the ancient and the modern, and the sea refuses no rivers. The curved roof and overhang eave represent the ancient style. The angled bents supporting frame and the simple and powerful geometric shape are full of modern technology.[4]

Many cultural elements are used in the station. On the roof, seven west-to-east sloping ridges are like seven ski runs. Equipment rooms in the waiting hall are decorated with mural and relievo reflecting the geographical and cultural features of Beijing.[4]
