Xi'an East Station is one of the largest railway stations that under planning in China. The East Station planning area is located at the southeast corner of Xi'an, adjacent to Qujiang District. The site is adjacent to the South 3rd Ring Road in the north and has the Xi’an Ring Expressway passing through it. Proposed metro line 5, 13 and 15 will converge on the station and link the planning area to the other parts of the city.

The design scheme inherits the environmental advantages, bringing the water from the nearby Bailu Tableland into the basin to establish a wetland system. In addition, three metro stations are set up alongside the proposed metro line 15. Three distinctive TOD core districts will be built around that three stations, including the transportation hub area, the waterfront cultural tourism area and the sci-tech innovation district.
