It is one of the world's largest railway stations in terms of GFA (Gross Floor Area), at 458,000 m2 (4,930,000 sq ft),[2] nearly six times larger than the pre-existing Nanjing railway station to the north, with five floors allowing for a zero-distance transfer to Nanjing Metro, Nanjing municipal buses and Airport bus lines.[2]

Before the construction of the (New) Nanjing South Railway Station, the name "Nanjing South Railway Station" was applied to another station: a fairly minor rail station located just outside the Gate of China (Zhonghuamen) of Nanjing's walled city, much closer to the city centre than the new Nanjing South Railway Station. To avoid confusion, the (old) South Railway Station has now been renamed as the Zhonghuamen railway station.

Nanjing Metro

Although Line 1 of the Nanjing Metro had already opened its southern extension from Andemen to CPU on 28 May 2010,[3][4] the metro station did not open until 28 June 2011, in conjunction with the opening of the railway station itself.[5] Line S1, connecting Nanjing South and the rest of the Nanjing Metro system with Lukou International Airport, opened on 1 July 2014.[6] The connections with Lines 3 and S3 respectively opened on 1 April 2015[7] and 6 December 2017[8] with the opening of those lines.

On 30 September 2016 the metro station served a peak volume of 102,300 passengers.[9]
