BEIJING: The 600th China-Europe freight train from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area this year — this one loaded with 100 containers of goods — departed on Wednesday from a logistics zone in the Zengcheng district of Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
The train will pass through Horgos Port in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, according to Guangzhou Railway Group.
The number of China-Europe trains departing from the Greater Bay Area has reached a historic high this year, with a growth of 287 trains, or an increase of 85 percent year-on-year, helping deliver 356,800 tons of industrial and supply chain materials, according to the railway group.
In October alone, the number of such trains leaving from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan for Europe increased by 25 percent year-on-year, the company said.
“Products made in China with high quality and competitive prices have become the choice for European consumers because of multiple factors, including inflation and increased production costs in Europe,” said Ning Zan, deputy director of the Guangzhou Freight Center.
