Shenzhen North Railway Station (Chinese: 深圳北站; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Běi Zhàn) is one of the four large inter city railways stations in Shenzhen, China and is located station in Longhua, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It has 11 platforms and 20 lines. It is an interchange station between the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link (Chinese: 广深港高速铁路), the Hangzhou–Fuzhou–Shenzhen High-Speed Railway (Chinese: 杭福深客运专线), future Maoming-Shenzhen High-Speed Railway and Shenzhen Metro Line 4, 5 and 6. Construction started in 2007 and was completed in June 2011.
High speed trains run from Shenzhen North train station to Beijing West Railway Station, Xiamen and Guangzhou.
Since 1980, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the established Shenzhen Railway Station has been the main railway terminal locally. But with the increasing frequency of trains, the original station has insufficient space to use. It is located in the city center and close to the border can not be expanded. So in the late 1990s it was proposed for the construction of a second railway terminal in Shenzhen. Prior to the completion of a second terminal, in the interim many long-distance trains in Shenzhen were able to use the temporary Shenzhen West Railway Station, (now permanent).
