The Beijing Railway Station sported its first English logo reading "Beijing Railway Station" on Wednesday.

The Beijing Times reported the railway station, with a history of more than fifty years, will soon change the Chinese signs and notices at exits and ticket offices to bilingual ones.

The move aims to make it easier for foreign visitors during the upcoming Olympic Games to find their way around the station.

It is estimated that the new signs will be put up within a week.
