GUANGZHOU, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — A train carrying electronic products made in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area departed from the West Zengcheng Railway Station in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, on Thursday. The arrival of the freight train, which runs weekly on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transportation route, in Uzbekistan marks the improvement of the efficiency and smoothness of the new international logistics channel linking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Li Siqiang, a representative of Guangzhou Jiaotou International Train Operation and Management Co., Ltd., said that about 30 standard containers depart from Zengcheng Station every week and are transported along the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal freight route, a combination of rail and road transportation. Compared with the traditional route, where containers leave China via Horgos, the transportation time via the multimodal route can be shortened by more than 2 days, and the transportation cost of each container can be reduced by at least 500 yuan (about 70 US dollars).

On May 12, the first container train to operate on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transportation route departed from Zengcheng West Railway Station. The goods were delivered by rail to Kashgar North Railway Station /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/, and then transferred to road transport and, leaving the country through the Irkeshtam checkpoint, arrived in Uzbekistan.

As of August this year, more than 470 standard containers of cargo, with a total value of over 60 million yuan, have been shipped from Zengcheng West Railway Station along the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan route.

Currently, there are daily trains departing from Guangzhou on China-Europe routes, which cover many SCO member states such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. These routes have become an important trade and economic corridor connecting the Greater Bay Area with Eurasia.

According to Huangpu Customs, the value of goods shipped from Zengcheng West Railway Station to other SCO member countries reached nearly 4 billion yuan from January to August 2025. -0-
