Suifenhe Railway Station

Suifenhe Railway Station is a museum housed in the original station building that displays train equipment, historical photographs, and operational documents from its years of service between 1899 and 2015. The building preserves the typical structure of a border crossing station and holds information about railway technology and the transport connections it managed.

The station was built in 1899 and operated as a crucial transport hub for goods and passengers moving between China and Russia throughout the early 20th century. Its operation continued until 2015, marking more than a century of continuous railway service across the border.

The building shows how Chinese and Russian railway traditions shaped its design and how it operated daily. Visitors can see this blend reflected in the preserved structures and the documents that explain how staff worked together.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours in Chinese, with information panels displayed in both Chinese and Russian. Visitors who do not speak these languages may find it helpful to use translation tools or hire a guide to better understand the exhibits.

The museum displays records showing that roughly one-third of China's railway imports from Russia passed through this station at its peak. This role as a hub for raw material trade remains visible in the collected documents and shipping records on display.
