en.Wedoany.com Reported - At 21:12 on June 1, the first international train from Qinghai, China, to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, departed via the Guangxi Pingxiang Railway Port, heading to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
It is reported that the train, loaded with approximately 1,000 tons of polyvinyl chloride, started from the Shuangzhai Logistics Center on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in Xining. It departed from the Pingxiang Railway Port in three batches, covering a total railway distance of about 3,200 kilometers. All related goods arrived in Vietnam by the evening of June 1. This marks the first direct international freight train from Qinghai to Ho Chi Minh City and another significant breakthrough for Guangxi in leveraging its ASEAN-facing geographical advantages to continuously expand cross-border logistics routes.
To enhance the transport efficiency of this cross-border train, the Nanning Train Operations Section of China Railway Nanning Group organized shunting and cargo inspection personnel to conduct double-sided inspections, improving vehicle inspection efficiency. They also implemented a policy of "priority for car delivery, loading, marshaling, and departure" for cross-border trains, boosting operational efficiency.
As one of the key transport nodes of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor, the Pingxiang Railway Port plays a vital role in promoting economic and trade exchanges between China and Vietnam. To date, goods from cities including Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Huaihua, Jinan, and Suzhou have been shipped via the Pingxiang Railway Port to Vietnam and other ASEAN countries.
It is understood that currently, over 450 types of goods are exported through the Pingxiang Railway Port, while over 180 types are imported, covering fields such as industrial machinery, technology products, and regional specialties. The proportion of high-tech, high-value-added goods has been increasing year by year, injecting new momentum into advancing high-level opening-up and deepening China-ASEAN cooperation.
