[Explanation] Taking videos at Shenyang Railway Station subway station has become a hot topic on short video platforms recently.
Many people may not understand that Shenyang Station, the railway station that made this subway station famous, is a veritable century-old station.
Today, although the appearance of this century-old station has not changed, the inside has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has been taking on the important task of an important railway hub in Shenyang and even in the Northeast.
[Explanation] The earliest Shenyang station was built by Tsarist Russia in 1899 and named Maogudian.
In 1904, the Shenyang Railway Station was occupied by Japan at the time, and the station was rebuilt because it could not meet the passenger traffic volume at that time. It is the Shenyang Railway Station that people see today.
The two designers who built the station were both students of the Tokyo Station designer in Japan. Therefore, the design styles of Shenyang Station and Tokyo Station are very similar.

Our Shenyang Station is similar to the Tokyo Station in Tokyo, Japan. The two Japanese designers at the Shenyang Station at the time were one named Takeshi Ota and the other named Sotaro Yoshida.
They were all students of the designer at Tokyo Station in Japan at that time, so the style is very similar to Tokyo Station in Japan.
[Explanation] After a hundred years, the scale of Shenyang Station has long been different from what it used to be.
From Qianping Station to the present, covering an area of more than 60,000 square meters, although the facade of Shenyang Station is primitive, it is already a modern railway station inside.

Now Shenyang Station can be said to be one of the most important links in our Northeast Railway Transportation Hub, including now after Shenyang Station has been renovated, our area can reach 60,000 square meters.
The verification of the real-name system for entering the station, including the check-in link at our ticket gate, is all replaced with this kind of facial recognition self-service gate facility. Passengers can directly enter the station by simply swiping their ID card.
Including us in the waiting room, around our service desk, there is also a self-service inquiry machine for passengers, which can inquire the detailed information of his train.
[Explanation] Looking back at the past and present of Shenyang Station, since the beginning of its construction, it has been an important transportation hub in Liaoning and even Northeast China. It has also been an important military distribution center for many wars such as the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In 2003, the staff also found 116 mortar shells and 2 two-wheeled heavy machine gun barrels at the West Freight Yard of Shenyang Station.
