Photographs have been published by The Daily Sunshine of the construction site of Shenzhen Futian Train Station, which will be the country’s first underground transport hub. It will be part of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high speed railway, which will be completed in 2015.


The complex will also include a 100-meter long bus station

The station will be located at the intersection between Shennan Avenue and Yitian Road, and will be 270,000 square meters (that is 192 football fields) in size. Passengers will be able to use the station’s transfer hall to walk to the Futian and Civic Centre subway stations, which were completed ahead of the Universiade in 2011.


The station’s transfer hall

Approximately 1,500 people are working on the construction. Underground construction is especially difficult due to problems such as lighting and ventilation for workers.


The water storage area which will provide air conditioning for the station

The city is particularly proud of its use of new and green technology such as LED lighting in the project.

Good question. It's more like news clip archive than forum.

Because Hong Kongers work too much, and if they don't work they go out to eat and sing with friends... they have no time for writing on forums
