亚洲最大地下火车站投入使用
亚洲最大地下火车站投入使用
The construction of Asia’s largest underground high-speed railway station has been finished in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is a very important city in south China’s Guangdong Province. It links Hong Kong and Guangzhou. When people go between the two places, they have to go through Shenzhen. The station is expected to be put into operation by the end of this year, said the Guangzhou Railway Group on November 15, 2015. By then, people will save much time when they are traveling from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
The Futian Railway Station, the Hong Kong-Shenzhen-Guangzhou high-speed railway link, will enable a 33-minute ride from Guangzhou to Shenzhen. And after the section of that link of Futian to Hong Kong is finished, it will only take 45 minutes to go from Shenzhen to Kowloon district(九龙区) in Hong Kong.
The station covers an area of 147,000 square meters, and it has three storeys. It is as large as 21 football fields. It is also the world’s second largest underground railway station, only after the Grand Central Station in New York City, the United States.
