“Did you know there’s a fully built railway station nearby that no train stops at?” I asked, watching your eyebrows rise in surprise. You’re standing in the Ande Subdistrict of Chengdu, a place brimming with stories both told and untold. Ande itself is a relatively new subdistrict, formed in December 2019 from the merging of Xinminchang and Ande Towns. But nestled within its boundaries lies a ghost station, the Ande railway station. Completed in 2010 as part of the Chengdu–Dujiangyan Intercity Railway, it stands ready and waiting, a silent testament to plans changed and routes re-imagined. The station itself is a curiosity, a quiet space in a bustling area. Though trains whiz by on the Chengdu–Dujiangyan line, none make a stop here. It’s a reminder that even in a city as dynamic as Chengdu, history can take unexpected turns. Perhaps one day, the Ande station will come alive with the hustle of passengers, its platforms echoing with arrivals and departures. But for now, it remains a tranquil anomaly, a place where time seems to stand still amidst the forward rush of progress.
