By Xin Dingding | China Daily | Updated: 2008-12-30 07:36

Construction of a new railway station in Hangzhou began over the weekend, the Ministry of Railways said in a news release yesterday.

The new station, Hangzhou East, which is due to be completed by the end of 2012, is being built at a cost of 12 billion yuan ($1.75 billion), 5 million yuan more than what it took to build Asia's biggest Beijing South railway station, the release said.

But despite costing more, the Hangzhou East railway station will still be smaller in size than Beijing South, an official said.
