When to use it
火车站 (huǒchēzhàn) is the catchall word for train station. For high-speed rail use 高铁站 (gāotiě zhàn); these are usually separate stations, not the same as the legacy 火车站. Many cities have multiple stations: Beijing has 北京站, 北京西站, 北京南站 (for high-speed). Check your ticket for the exact station name before hailing a taxi; drivers will not assume. Platform signs mix Chinese with pinyin romanisation.
