The Shapingba railway station (Chinese: 沙坪坝站; pinyin: Shāpíngbà zhàn) is a railway station of Chengyu Passenger Railway that is located in Shapingba District of Chongqing, People's Republic of China. It was originally opened in 1979 serving ground-level tracks and has been operated as part of China Railway's Chengdu Bureau. In 1988, it was renamed as Chongqing North Railway Station, but reverted to the Shapingba name when another new station in Yubei District was opened as Chongqing North railway station.^[1] Serving only conventional services, the station was closed in 2011^[2][3] for a major renovation and as part of an expansion of the Three Gorges Plaza commercial development. It was redeveloped as a fully Integrated Transport Hub, serving high-speed and conventional rail, metro rail services, local city buses, taxi services and personal cars, all within a major commercial and retail complex. The railway station section of this project was reopened on 25 January 2018^[4] and the final retail and commercial development was completed on 30 December 2020.^[5] It should not be confused with the larger Chongqing West railway station, which is also located in Shapingba District, and opened on the same day.
