History

The first central railway station in Guangzhou, known as East Canton Railway Station or

Kowloon-Canton Railway

.

In the 1950s, the Guangdong provincial government saw the need for a new central train station in Guangzhou to meet the increasing demands for rail travels. Construction began in 1960, but it was not completed until 1974 due to interruptions by the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.

On April 4, 1979, with the normalisation of relations with Hong Kong, the

through-train service that was suspended for over twenty-five years was resumed. Through-train services were moved to Guangzhou East

in 1996.
