History

Japanese Occupation

The construction of Jiamusi station started in 1935, right after the Manchukuo administration drafted the plan for the city. Two years later, Jiamusi railway station was opened to public on July 1, 1937.[1] It's claimed by historians that Jiamusi railway station was not intended to serve passenger traffic, as the station was heavily policed and all passengers in the station were thoroughly searched. Instead, Jiamusi railway station served as a freight hub for the Japanese to transport wood, ore and crops out of the region.[2]
