Key railway border port more efficient

Manzhouli has taken steps to improve freight services between China, Europe

A key border railway port has improved its operations to shorten the time it takes for trains to pass through it and to boost the efficiency of cross-border freight services, according to rail officials.

Manzhouli in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, which borders both Mongolia and Russia, is one of six railway ports that China-Europe freight trains pass through.

"The Manzhouli Railway Port is one of the eastern corridors for China-Europe freight trains. About 30 percent of these trains pass through the port," said Zheng Jiaqing, head of the railway station.
