Xinjiang’s railway hubs are flexing their global trade muscles! 🚄 Alashankou and Horgos, two key ports in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, have smashed a major milestone: over 10,000 China-Europe freight train trips this year alone. That’s more than half of China’s total—and it’s keeping the world’s supply chains moving like a well-oiled machine. 💪
These trains aren’t just racking up numbers—they’re connecting 21 countries (shoutout to Germany and Poland 🇩🇪🇵🇱) through Alashankou’s 124 routes, while Horgos links 18 countries and 46 cities. Talk about a global network! 🌐
Here’s the tea ☕: Alashankou moved 9.77 million tonnes of cargo this year (up 3.7%!), and Horgos hit 7.96 million tonnes with a whopping 20.3% growth spike. 📈 With numbers like these, it’s clear why these ports are the unsung heroes of cross-continental trade.
For young professionals and entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s economic pulse, this is your sign to watch Xinjiang’s rise as a logistics powerhouse. 🚀 Students and travelers, take notes—this is globalization in action! ✨
