Construction of the station started on July 5, 2009[3] and the station opened to regular rail traffic in late 2012. On December 1, 2012,[4] the station started to receive high-speed rail traffic as China unveiled its first high-speed rail running through regions with extremely low winter temperatures with scheduled runs from Harbin to Dalian.[5] The weather-proof CRH380B bullet trains serving the line can accommodate temperatures from minus 40 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius above zero.[6] On December 10, 2014, the station started to receive conventional train service of the Jingha Railway.[7] On August 17, 2015, the station started to receive high-speed CRH trains from Qiqihar as Harbin–Qiqihar Intercity Railway opened for public service.[8]
