The new line slashes travel time between Guangzhou and Hong Kong to half an hour.
The Futian High-speed Railway Station in downtown Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, covers a total area of 147,000 square meters, or about the size of 21 football fields.
Its three underground floors have seating for 3,000 passengers, according to Guangzhou Railway Corporation, which operates the station.
The travel time between Guangzhou and Hong Kong takes about two hours by ordinary train. The high-speed track slashes the travel time to half an hour. Residents in Shenzhen, which is adjacent to Hong Kong, can reach Hong Kong in 15 minutes.
