Shijiazhuang Railway Museum, Railway museum in Qiaoxi District, China.
Shijiazhuang Railway Museum is a railway museum in Qiaoxi District that displays historic locomotives and rail vehicles across multiple exhibition tracks. The museum area includes photographs, documents, and models showing the history of Chinese railways.
The building is the second-generation station hall of Shijiazhuang railway station, built from August 1984 and partly opened on 11 November 1987 to mark the 40th anniversary of the city's liberation. It closed to passengers on 21 December 2012, when the new station 4 km south opened, and was converted into the Shijiazhuang Liberation Square Exhibition Centre. The Liberation Memorial Hall, founded in 1987 and opened in 1999, moved its expanded exhibition into the ground floor on 29 April 2023.
The building's later role as the Shijiazhuang Liberation Memorial Hall, opened on 29 April 2023, ties the former station to the city's 1947 liberation, commemorated by the nearby monument. The station hall itself appeared in the 2010 road comedy Lost on Journey, starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.
The building stands on the east side of Liberation Square in Qiaoxi District, and the former station tracks are kept for parking railway vehicles. The planned railway museum is a long-term conversion, so check locally whether displays are open before travelling. The site is reached from the square, and the old station ground is flat and walkable.
The station building was used as a filming location for the 2010 road comedy Lost on Journey, starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang. The former station tracks are planned to store railway vehicles once the building becomes the Shijiazhuang Railway Museum.
