The depot features a workshop with 12 tracks for trains, warehouse facilities, and 5.6 kilometers of tracks.

A notable feature is the implementation of an integrated management system that allows real-time monitoring of vehicles.

This enables checking the condition of trains at speeds up to 30 km/h, making the depot unique in China.

Modern technologies also include intelligent ventilation and temperature control systems, ensuring comfortable conditions for technical personnel and equipment preservation.

The new center’s productivity reaches up to servicing 90 trains per day.

With the most extensive high-speed rail network spanning over 40,000 kilometers, China continues to modernize and strengthen its infrastructure.

Currently, more than 2,600 trains operate on China’s high-speed railways, serviced by over 50 small depots and 10 major maintenance and repair facilities.
