Hangzhou East (Hangzhoudong) Railway Station (simplified Chinese: 杭州东站; traditional Chinese: 杭州東站; pinyin: Hángzhōudōng zhàn) is a railway station located in Zhejiang, People's Republic of China. Originally serving the Hukun Railway, it has been rebuilt as a high-speed rail hub, which became operational on 1 July 2013.
The old station opened in 1992, located on Tiancheng Road. It was closed on 20 January 2010, and demolished. Its train services were moved to Hangzhou Railway Station and Hangzhou South Railway Station.
A new station was built on the site. It officially opened on 1 July 2013, in conjunction with the opening of the Hangzhou–Ningbo Passenger Railway and Nanjing-Hangzhou Passenger Railway. The station also serves the Shanghai–Hangzhou Passenger Railway. It will have 30 railway tracks, and will have stations for Hangzhou Metro lines 1 and 4. A coach station and bus terminals are also part of the new transit hub.
Hangzhou East Railway Station is served by a station of the same name on Line 1 and Line 4 of Hangzhou Metro. This station offers paired cross-platform interchange for passengers riding between 4 directions of the two lines.
