Hai'an railway station[1] (Chinese: 海安站; pinyin: Hǎi'ān zhàn) is a railway station in Hai'an, Nantong, Jiangsu, China.

History

[edit]

Construction on the station began in 1998. It was sited at the intersection point between the Xinyi–Changxing railway and the Nanjing–Qidong railway. It opened in 2004. On 8 February 2015, a new station building was opened.

Station name

[edit]

On 20 August 2018, the name of the station was changed from Hai'an County (Chinese: 海安县) to Hai'an.[2] This followed the former Hai'an railway station in Xuwen County, Guangdong Province changing its name to Hai'an South.[3]
