Turpan North railway station (Chinese: 吐鲁番北站; pinyin: Tǔlǔfān Běizhàn) is a railway station on the Lanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway in Turpan, Xinjiang, China.[1] It is operated by China Railway Ürümqi Group.[2]

The station opened on November 16, 2014 as one of five stations on the 530-kilometer (330 mi) Ürümqi South–Hami section, the first part of the line and the first high-speed railway to operate in Xinjiang.[1][2] The inaugural train to call there, service D8602, ran from Ürümqi South toward Hami that day.[2] The full Lanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway opened on December 26, 2014.[3]

Air–rail interchange

The station lies less than 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from Turpan Jiaohe Airport, which serves as a diversion airport for Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport; its opening introduced an air–rail interchange that brought Turpan within an hour of Ürümqi by rail.[2] In 2022 a 648-meter (2,126 ft) air–rail corridor was completed, connecting the airport terminal, the station and a tourism service center. The airport stands about 27 meters (89 ft) above the station, and passengers transfer through an automated walkway and an underground tunnel.[4]
