Shigatse railway station

Shigatse railway station (), officially Xigazê, is a railway station in Shigatse, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It lies in Jiacuoxiong Township, Samzhubzê District. The station officially opened for operations on 16 August 2014.

Track layout

The Shigatse passenger railway station is large compared to current needs as it has five tracks serving two island platforms and a single side platform. Islands reserved for expansion include international (or at least to the border) plans for China–India railway link to Yadong as well as a China–Nepal railway link to Gyirong and at some point, Kathmandu.
