Five years and counting! 🌟 The China-Europe Railway Express from Shenzhen just hit a major milestone, celebrating half a decade of turbocharging trade between Asia and Europe. Since its first journey in 2020, this rail network has evolved from a single route to a sprawling 27-line powerhouse connecting 47 countries and regions—from Germany to Russia. 🗺️
Over 878 trains have zoomed across the Eurasian continent, hauling $3 billion worth of goods like electronics, home appliances, and even trendy sneakers from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. 🛍️ And it’s not a one-way street—high-quality European products like Italian leather goods and Czech machinery are also rolling into the Chinese mainland, creating a vibrant two-way trade lane. 🔄
With over 7,000 businesses hooked into this logistics lifeline, the railway is a backbone of global commerce. Think of it as the Silk Road 2.0—but with faster Wi-Fi and way more emojis. 😉
