Xiamen railway station is an exception from the typical arrangement of rail services in Fujian's cities, in that it combines both "traditional" passenger trains and high-speed (D-series) trains at a single downtown location.
Since 2010, this has been the southern terminal of the Fuzhou–Xiamen railway (Fuxia), with frequent D-series trains departing to Fuzhou (via Quanzhou and other coastal cities), some of them continuing north to Wenzhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Shanghai Hongqiao. On June 29, 2012, the new Longyan–Xiamen railway (Longxia) opened as well, with frequent D-series trains connecting Xiamen with Longyan (with stops in Zhangzhou and Nanjing County).
Numerous conventional (K-series) trains connect Xiamen with major cities throughout China's interior. They have traditionally left the city via the Yingtan–Xiamen railway, although some (those with destinations in southern China) may have been now switched to the faster Longxia line.
The late 2023 commencement of the Fuzhou–Xiamen high-speed railway only has service at Xiamen North Railway Station at Jimei only.
History
The station opened on April 17, 1957.[http://www.xmhcz.com/about.asp 车站简介:厦门火车站] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725200446/http://www.xmhcz.com/about.asp |date=July 25, 2010 }}{{in lang|zh}}
In 2012, the upgrade construction for the station began, the project will increase the numbers of tracks from 5 to 9, platforms from 3 to 5, with the rebuild of the main building of the station, in order to relieve crowding.{{cite news|url=http://fj.qq.com/a/20150204/012631.htm|title=2015年春运今天拉开序幕 厦门火车站南站房启用|publisher=海峡导报|date=2015-02-04|access-date=2015-02-04}}
