Station Name

In February 2013, the name of Shenzhen Xincheng Station was adopted by the local railway bureau,[3] however this was dismissed by national railway authorities in October, 2013. This was due to existence of another Xincheng Station on the Chinese rail network. In order to avoid any repetition of names and to reflect localities better, it was deemed that the new station would be named Shenzhen Pingshan Railway Station, after the district of Shenzhen that it is located in.[4]

Keeping with current modern practice in Chinese High Speed Rail Stations, two large open squares will feature on both sides of station. The southern square, besides being a large open public space.
