History
The station was opened on 28 December 2014 along with the Qingdao–Rongcheng intercity railway.[2] The station was closed from 10 July 2019 for reconstruction as part of the Weifang–Laixi high-speed railway.[3]
In the future, the station will be the start of the Laixi–Rongcheng high-speed railway, which will provide a faster journey to Rongcheng.[4]
Name
The station opened as Laixi North, despite being situated to the south of Laixi City. It is however about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Laixi railway station on the Lancun–Yantai railway, which opened in 1955.[5] In 2020, in preparation for reopening, the name was changed to Laixi railway station. The original Laixi railway station was renamed Laixi South.[1]
