Chengdu South or Chengdunan railway station (Chinese: 成都南站; pinyin: Chéngdūnán Zhàn) is a railway station in Wuhou District, Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, China. Services from this station include Chengdu–Mianyang–Leshan intercity railway. It is served by the South Railway Station on Chengdu Metro Line 1, Line 7 and Line 18.

History

The station opened on 1 July 1970 along with the construction of the Chengdu–Kunming railway, and was constructed as a single-level station with a floor area of approximately 4,000 m² (43,000 sq ft), serving both passenger and freight traffic. The daily passenger traffic was around 3,000, with the station able to accommodate 600 persons at a time.^[1]

On 8 May 2011, with the opening of the high-speed Chengdu East railway station, Chengdu South closed for renovations.^[2] However, during the 2012 chunyun, to relieve passenger burden on the other stations in the city, trains temporarily served Chengdu South. On 20 December 2014, with the opening of the Chengdu–Mianyang–Leshan intercity railway, the station reopened.
