Two major railway ports in China’s Xinjiang region have reached a significant milestone in international freight transport. Alashankou (Alataw Pass) and Horgos have collectively facilitated over 100,000 China-Europe freight train journeys, marking a substantial achievement in transcontinental logistics.
Alashankou currently operates 127 dedicated China-Europe freight routes, whilst Horgos railway port manages 89 routes. This extensive network of 216 combined routes demonstrates the growing importance of these strategic gateways in facilitating trade between China and European markets.
For businesses seeking reliable freight forwarding solutions, these developments represent enhanced connectivity and capacity for international cargo movements. The milestone underscores the continued expansion of rail freight as a viable alternative to traditional sea and air transport options.
