Zhaoqing railway station (simplified Chinese: 肇庆站; traditional Chinese: 肇慶站) serves the city of Zhaoqing, Guangdong province, China. The station hosts train services to and from Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kunming, Nanning, Hainan, and other parts of China.[1]

The station is an intermediate stop on the Guangzhou–Maoming railway and the western terminus of the higher-speed Guangzhou–Foshan–Zhaoqing intercity railway.

History[edit]

The station has an immigration checkpoint within the station for the daily Guangdong Through Train service to and from Hung Hom station in Kowloon, Hong Kong.[2][3] Due to the renovation of the checkpoint, the through train service has been suspended since 16 April 2017.[4][5] The service was officially shortened to Guangzhou East railway station on 10 June 2019, leaving the border crossing facilities in the station abandoned.[6]

On 10 April 2021, service patterns were changed and through running between Zhaoqing and Shenzhen Airport was introduced.[7][8]
