Urumqi High Speed Station |

As the names suggest, the Urumqi high speed train station 站/Wūlǔmùqígāotiězhàn services all high-speed trains (marked by a “D” on your ticket).

This beautiful looking station, which was first opened in 2016, is located in the development district northwest of Urumqi.

What to Expect: Whereas the south station looks old and rundown, the high-speed train station is spacious and futuristic. If you’ve been to other Chinese train stations across the country, this design will feel familiar.

Ticket halls are located on the first floor of the structure with window number 5 designated as the “bilingual window” (good luck getting English-speaking help, though!). You’ll have to go through a bit of security to access the ticket hall
