RAIL freight now marks the new transportation corridor connecting China with Central Asian nations, reports China Daily.
Commencing its trip from Langfang, the train will make its first stop in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The shipping containers will then be transferred via a transnational highway and exit the country through the Irkeshtam port in Xinjiang. From there, they will continue their journey to Osh in Kyrgyzstan and be further transported by train to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Irkeshtam serves as China's westernmost land port accessible to Kyrgyzstan.
The total distance of the journey amounts to 6,000 kilometres, as stated by Taitong International Transport (Langfang) Co, the organiser of the shipments.
The cargo, comprising items like steelwork, insulation pipes, and pipe trusses, weighs over 1,000 tonnes, according to the company.
Other newly established routes within the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan corridor have also been put into operation.
Recently, another freight train departed from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, carrying office furniture, air conditioners, and various small household appliances bound for Uzbekistan.
This marks the 18th international route originating from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
This train will pass through Kashgar, Erkeshtam, and eventually arrive in Tashkent, as confirmed by the railway operator.
Compared to conventional shipping methods, this multimodal international freight service will save five days in the export of goods from the Greater Bay Area to Uzbekistan, providing a more efficient and expedient trade channel with Central Asia.
Previously, most goods exported from China to Central Asian countries and regions were transported via China-Europe freight trains, passing through the Khorgos port in Xinjiang.
With the substantial increase in trade volume and mounting traffic congestion at the Khorgos port, there has been a pressing need to establish a new route that facilitates the swift flow of goods between China and Central Asia, according to the operators involved.
