Shanghai North railway station

It was closed in 1987 and a replica of the original 1909 building, erected on the same site, is now the Shanghai Railway Museum.

It was the site of Premier Song Jiaoren's assassination by Chinese gangsters (probably working at Yuan Shikai's request) on March 20, 1913.

The Chinese republican hero, democratic activist, and founder of the Kuomintang, Song Jiaoren, was shot at the railway station on March 20, 1913, shortly after he had led the party to victory in Republican China's first parliamentary elections.

[5] The building of the museum itself is a cultural relic (the original main railway station built in 1909), which is well maintained.

About 8,000 students visited the museum to learn about the development of high speed railways.
