At the time of my writing, there is only one passenger railway station in Lanzhou – Lanzhou Railway Station. It is located below the Gaolan Mountain in the south of Chengguan District of Lanzhou, Gansu Province.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Lanzhou is a major\u00a0transport, especially a railway\u00a0hub\u00a0in the\u00a0western China. It has the following railway lines:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Longhai Railway Line:<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
To the east (Xian, Zhengzhou, Lianyungang), extending to Beijing, Shanghai…, the first railway line\u00a0connecting Lanzhou (1953).<\/p>\n

<\/span>Lanxin Railway Line:<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

To the west and northwest linking the western Gansu and Urumqi, and further extending to other\u00a0places in Xinjiang and to Kazakhstan.
\n<\/span>Lanqing Railway Line:<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
To the west and southwest, with direct train\u00a0service\u00a0connecting Xining and Lhasa.<\/p>\n

<\/span>A Train line linking<\/strong> to the north and northeast, with direct train\u00a0connecting Yinchuan and Baotou.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>The main railyway terminal is a two-storey building 171 meters long from east to west and 47.5 wide from north to south. <\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Main Entrance to the terminal building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It has two exits – east and west. So if you are going to greet disembarking passengers, be sure you are on the right exit of the two\u00a0by checking the electronic signboard overhead.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The taxi stand is northwest\u00a0to the square in front of the main terminal building. If you come out of the main building, then the taxi stand is on your left hand, on the edge of the square. |<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking a taxi from the station to the city center costs you about RMB 12, to the Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport about RMB 150.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
