Xiamen North railway station (simplified Chinese: 厦门北站; traditional Chinese: 廈門北站; pinyin: Xiàmén-běi Zhàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ē-mn̂g-pah Chām) is a railway station located in Houxi Town, Jimei District, Xiamen City, Fujian province, China, on the Fuzhou-Xiamen railway and Xiamen-Shenzhen railway which is operated by the Nanchang Railway Group, a subsidiary of the China Railway Group. It was built to allow train lines that pass through Xiamen to continue to the southwest rather than going into downtown Xiamen at Xiamen railway station. Due to this advantage it is now bigger than Xiamen railway station.
