上海火车站建成三十周年   2018-01-02

 

The New Year vacation brought an impressive flow of passengers through Shanghai Railway Station with the three-day break offering a great opportunity to go on short train trips.

Some 399,000 passengers left Shanghai via the city’s three train stations on Saturday, with Shanghai Railway Station alone accounting for about 114,000 travelers.

The station was celebrating its 30th year on December 28. “Its name was Shanghai New Passenger Train Station,” said Zhang Lianxi, former chief of the station. He described the holiday rush as “a rehearsal for the Spring Festival exodus.” Of the station, he added: “It certainly has changed a lot.”
