Qingdaobei (Qingdao North) railway station (simplified Chinese: 青岛北站; traditional Chinese: 青島北站; pinyin: Qīngdǎoběi zhàn) is a railway station in Qingdao, Shandong, China.

Qingdaobei Station is one of the terminal stations of CRH trains (denoted with letter G and D) bound for Qingdao city from major cities in China. Intercity CRH trains running on Qingdao-Rongcheng Intercity Railway (denoted with letter C) and newly scheduled common passenger trains also end their journey here rather than overloaded Qingdao station.

The main roof surface is 72,800 square metres (784,000 sq ft), covering the 44,000-square-metre (470,000 sq ft) main hall.

Design

Designed by AREP and MaP3 during a competition in 2007, the station is built on reclaimed land from the sea. The project was inspired by marina's landscape (seagulls, boat masts, cables). The structure shape was obtained by moving and rotating identical frames: "arches" and roof beams, connected together by braced brackets and cables diagonals. Arches and beams are welded on a central beam, with a triangular box section, sheltering technical catwalk. The whole structure is fabricated with folded steel sheets. The roofing is made by aluminium plates interrupted by polycarbonate strips. The ceiling is made of aluminium blades.

Construction

The construction is handled by CSCEC, general contractor. The steel structure was fabricated in Nanjing.
