It's Beijing "WEST" Railway Station

Not East.

Pangu, thank you for your correction. I'll correct it.

I don't think Beijing West Railway Station is the biggest. Isn't it Shinjuku in Tokyo or is that just the busiest?

Beijing West Railway Station was completed in early 1990s, but
I don't know how old Beijing Railway Station is, surely much older than Beijing West.

Beijing's West Railway Station, abb. Beijing West (Hanyu Pinyin: Beijing Xikezhan, Simplified and Traditional Chinese: 北京西客站, abb. Beijing Xi 北京西) is located in the west of Beijing. Opened in early 1996 after three hard years of work, it is the biggest railway station in Asia. It was expanded in 2000 and can now handle 300,000 passengers daily. It also has vast parking lots.
