Yinzhen Railway Station: Former Xi'an South Railway Station

On February 28th, 2023, "Yinzhen Railway Station" replaced "Xi'annan Railway Station" as the new name of the south-eastern railway station in Xi'an. With three platforms, the station mainly operates Xi'an-Ankang Railway. Located in the suburban area, the station is about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) from the Bell Tower in the city center.
