China-Russia passenger train resumes operation after 6 years

The passenger train service connecting Manzhouli City in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with Zabaykalsk in Russia officially resumed operations on Sunday after suspending for six years.

At 11:00, an inbound train from Zabaykalsk arrived at Manzhouli Station, marking the reopening of another vital passenger transport corridor on the China-Russia border.

Trains will run in both directions twice a week, covering a distance of 9.8 kilometers in approximately 25 minutes.

To ensure efficient and smooth customs processing, Manzhouli Station has upgraded its international waiting area, adding multilingual signage and consultation windows. The ticketing and customs verification processes have been simplified, and a collaboration mechanism with border inspection and customs departments has been in place, reducing traveler's customs processing time by nearly one hour.

Manzhouli Port, located at the tri-junction of China, Russia, and Mongolia, serves as a crucial hub connecting the Eurasian Land Bridge and handles over 65 percent of land transport for China-Russia trade.
