Kunming railway station (Chinese: 昆明站; pinyin: Kūnmíng Zhàn) is the main railway station serving the city of Kunming, Yunnan, China. It is located about four kilometres from the city centre. It handles most high-speed rail services for destinations within Yunnan along with virtually all non-high-speed services.
It is also known for a terrorist attack that happened at the station on March 1, 2014, which resulted in the death of 33 people and the injury of 143, including many children in both categories.
