Currently, six general trains stop at the station, offering service to Qingdao, Yantai, Shijiazhuang in Hebei province, Zhengzhou in Henan province, and Wuhan in Hubei province. The "general-fast" trains (denoted with a letter "K") offer service to these cities and others throughout China, such as Xuzhou and Chengdu.
