URUMQI, May 27 (Xinhua) — More than 3,000 crossings of China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains have been recorded at the Alashankou railway checkpoint on the China-Kazakhstan border since the beginning of 2025 as of May 26, according to the railway department of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
According to the checkpoint data, during the current year, the average daily volume of freight train crossings through Alashankou was maintained at over 21, with the maximum value being 30.
Currently, 123 freight routes between China and Europe/Central Asia pass through Alashankou, reaching Germany, Poland and 19 other countries. They carry more than 200 types of goods, including new energy vehicles, mechanical components, electronic products and daily necessities.
There are two railway checkpoints in Xinjiang, Alashankou and Khorgos. As the Belt and Road Initiative is being implemented in depth, Xinjiang has been steadily increasing the capacity of goods to pass through the checkpoints, with the aim of turning the autonomous region into a “golden transport corridor” in Eurasia and a springboard for China’s westward-oriented opening-up. Currently, Xinjiang’s railway checkpoints account for more than half of the train entries and exits recorded nationwide in China-Europe/Central Asia cross-border railway freight traffic. -0-
