Arxan Railway Station
阿尔山火车站
A wooden station building in Japanese style, completed in 1937, that is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit and still in use today.
Arxan Railway Station was built during the Japanese occupation of Northeast China in the 1930s. It is the terminus of the Bai-A Railway. The station building is a two-storey Japanese-style structure with milky-white walls, a dark green roof, pointed gables and dormer windows. It is known as one of 'China's most beautiful railway stations' and is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. The building is still in use, with passenger trains arriving and departing. The square in front of the station is good for photos, and in winter the snow on the roof after a snowfall looks especially fairy-tale-like. The station is in Arxan town, within walking distance of the hot-spring district and Wuli Spring, so it is a good stop on arrival day or before departure. Non-passengers may not enter the station building freely.
