Poster: Xinjiang's Horgos port handles over 8,000 China-Europe freight trains in 2025

A China-Europe freight train carrying daily necessities and electronic components departed from Horgos Railway Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for Malaszewicze, Poland, earlier this week, bringing the number of such trains passing through the port this year to over 8,000, 40 days ahead of the same milestone in 2024.

The Horgos Customs said Wednesday that the port has witnessed sustained growth in freight train operations, with a daily average of over 27 trains since the start of 2025.

The trains are increasingly used to transport goods from China's manufacturing hubs like the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta to markets in Central Asia and Europe, the customs added.
