History
Songhuajiang station (Chinese: 松花江站; pinyin: Sōnghuājiāng Zhàn; lit. 'Songhua River railway station') was opened in October 1899. It was renamed Harbin Station in July 1903. It was renovated in 1960, 1972, 1989, and 2002. In 2015, construction of new Harbin railway station began, using the design of the original Art Nouveau style in the 1903-built old station. The north and south terminals both completed renovations in 2017, with the terminals of the newly built Harbin railway station opened for public service.
On 26 October 1909, Korean nationalist An Jung-geun assassinated Itō Hirobumi (伊藤博文), the first Prime Minister of Japan, on the platform at Harbin Station. Itō had been Japan's Resident-General in Korea until a few months before his assassination. A memorial hall honoring An Jung-geun was opened on Sunday, 19 January 2014 in Harbin. The hall, a 200-square-metre (2,200 sq ft) room, features photos and memorabilia.
