Xinhui railway station
Railway station in Jiangmen, China
Xinhui railway station (Chinese: 新会站) is an elevated station of Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway Jiangmen Spur Line.[1] It started operation on 7 January 2011.
The station is located near Dongjia Village (Chinese: 東甲村) in Huicheng Street (Chinese: 会城街道), Xinhui District, Jiangmen, Guangdong, China. Since it is far away from the current bus terminus in Huicheng, a new bus terminus will be built to serve the passengers. The station started operations in 2011.[2]
Xinhui Station was formerly called Jiangmen West Station (Chinese: 江门西站) when planning. However, the station name was strongly criticized by Xinhui citizens that it degraded the position of Xinhui. Therefore, the authorities finally renamed the station to Xinhui Station.[3][4]
