Since 2010, this has been the southern terminal of the Fuzhou–Xiamen railway, with frequent D-series trains departing to Fuzhou, some of them continuing north to Wenzhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Shanghai Hongqiao. On June 29, 2012, the new Longyan–Xiamen railway opened as well, with frequent D-series trains connecting Xiamen with Longyan.
Numerous conventional trains connect Xiamen with major cities throughout China's interior. They have traditionally left the city via the Yingtan–Xiamen railway, although some may have been now switched to the faster Longxia line.
