Beijing's Fengtai Railway Station, built in 1895, resumed services to the public on Monday after four years of reconstruction.
The station now serves as the terminal for multiple arterial train lines in China, such as the Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway and Beijing-Kowloon Railway, said the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd., the country's railway operator.
Covering 400,000 square meters now, the station has 32 rail tracks and 32 platforms and can accommodate 14,000 passengers in the waiting room. It would be Asia's largest rail transport hub, the local government said.
The operator said it would put 120 trains into service for the preliminary stage of the railway station's operation.
It is the country's first railway station featuring a double-deck structure that serves both high-speed and regular train services.
The station had served several important lines until its closure in 2010. Reconstruction work commenced in September 2018.
