Changsha South Railway Station (simplified Chinese: 长沙南站; traditional Chinese: 長沙南站; pinyin: Chángshā'nan zhàn) is a railway station of Wuguang Passenger Railway and Hukun Passenger Railway. The station is located in Yuhua District, Changsha, Hunan, China. It is a hub and the connecting point of Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong High-Speed Railway, Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway and the proposed Xiamen-Changsha-Chongqing High-Speed Railway. The station, located in Lituo Street, Yuhua District, was opened Dec 26, 2009. The designer of the station building is from the 3rd department of Central South Architectural Design Institute, INC. The roof features the waves and ripples of water. It has a total construction area of 273,000 square meters and the depot area is 137,000 square meters. It is a transportation center of high-speed railroads, metro lines 2&4, buses, maglev and coaches, which can seamless connect with the downtown, Huanghua International Airport and cities in the vicinity.

The station opened on December 26, 2009.

When the station was first open, the surrounded area—which is away from Changsha's city center—was mostly industrial. Since then, however, high-rise residential and office development has taken place around the station. The passenger volume has also increased greatly.
