Dongguan Railway Station

Dongguan Railway Station serves the city of Dongguan in Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. It is located in Changping Town of Dongguan, and was known Changping Railway Station.

The station is configured in a northwest-southeast alignment. Trains departing to the northwest continue along the Guangshen railway towards Guangzhou. To the southeast, there is a junction where the Guangshen railway merges with the Guangmeishan railway and Jingjiu railway (coming from the east). The Guangshen railway continues south towards Shenzhen, where it is connected to the East Rail Line of Hong Kong at the border near Luohu/Lo Wu. The Jingjiu railway continues east through the Dongguan East station then onwards towards Beijing.

It is a port of entry to mainland China for passenger trains from Kowloon, Hong Kong on the Guangdong Through Train service. In the past it was also a port of entry for the Beijing-Kowloon Through Train and Shanghai-Kowloon Through Train services from Kowloon, Hong Kong, that all passengers are required to leave the train with all their belongings for immigration and customs checks. The through trains no longer stops at this station (and became non-stop services) since Beijing West and Shanghai stations became ports of entry in October 2003.
