Get ready, trade fans! China’s latest logistics star – the Liuzhou–Qinzhou–ASEAN rail-sea intermodal connection – just kicked off, and it’s set to turbocharge delivery times and cut costs like never before 🚂⛴️.
On Monday morning in Liuzhou City, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the inaugural train rolled out carrying 56 standard containers packed with automotive parts bound for Malaysia. After reaching Qinzhou port, the containers hop onto a ship and head straight to their destination 🌏.
This milestone marks the official start of regular rail-sea service along the New Western Land-Sea Corridor, fully integrating Liuzhou railway port into the Beibu Gulf Port’s inland network. It means goods manufactured in Liuzhou – one of Guangxi’s top industrial cities and a key national automotive parts base – can zoom across borders faster and greener 🌱.
From January to October, this route already moved 8,424 containers of auto parts, showing the real muscle of rail transport: high capacity, lower costs, all-weather reliability, and a smaller carbon footprint 💪.
The new corridor not only tightens the logistics chain from Liuzhou to ASEAN markets but also paves the way for smoother cross-border trade. For young entrepreneurs, students, and global travelers curious about how Asia’s supply networks evolve, this is a game-changer that blends efficiency with sustainability ✨.
