At the end of the 19th century, the Russian tsar built a "T"-shaped railway that runs through northeast of China. It started from Manzhouli in west, to Suifenhe in the east, and Lushunkou in the north. Its construction was in consideration of factors such as expanding the influence of the Far East and consolidating the strategic position of the Yellow Sea region of China (referred to as «Chinese Eastern Railway»). During the construction of the railway from 1897 to 1903, a large number of railway station areas were continuously developed and constructed, and a new type of settlement in the northeastern China due to the road was born. The urban form produced during this period has had a profound impact on the subsequent development of urban areas in Northeast China. The construction method of the early settlements and the urban form has the same characteristics. At the same time, due to their own environment and location advantages, each town has many unique characteristics. This paper takes the second-class railway stations of the Chinese Eastern Railway as the research objects, and sorts out the planning information of different towns: structural layout, road network structure, square form, street design, urban texture and landscape greening, summarizing town planning mode of the second-class stations, providing reference for related research.
