The Horgos Railway Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has handled more than 55,000 China-Europe freight trains, including services bound for Central Asia, according to data from the Urumqi branch of China State Railway Group Co. (China Railway).
The port is a key Belt and Road hub linking China with Europe and Central Asia.
Since the first China-Europe freight train departed from the Horgos Railway Port in March 2016, the number of such trains handled by the port has been rising steadily.
It took 54 months for the figure to reach 10,000, and less than 13 months to grow from 40,000 to 50,000.
More than 200 types of goods are transported via the port, including mechanical and electrical equipment, new energy vehicles, electronic products and agricultural and sideline products.
Horgos now connects 91 routes across 18 countries, underscoring its role as a major Belt and Road gateway.
