context_page_description: Taishan railway station is a railway station located in Nankeng Village, Taicheng Subdistrict, Taishan, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China.
context_section_description: In 1906, under the oversight of Chin Gee Hee, the Sun Ning Railway Company began building a railway to connect Xinning County to its northern and southern neighbors. On March 1, 1909, the Xinning Railway Station (Chinese: 新宁铁路总站) was opened in what is now the subdistrict. The rail line, which was completed in 1920, drew attention both domestically and internationally for being the first Chinese-funded and Chinese-constructed railroad in the world.
  In 1938, the railway was ordered by the Nationalist Government to be destroyed to prevent the advance of invading Japanese troops. The station would subsequently serve as a bus station.
  The new Taishan Railway Station was constructed in 2018 within the village of Nankeng, Taicheng Subdistrict. The station lies upon the Shenzhen–Zhanjiang high-speed railway.
