SHENZHEN, January 6 (Xinhua) — By the end of 2025, the sub-provincial city of Shenzhen, in Guangdong Province, exported goods worth 6.87 billion yuan (approximately $981 million) via China-Europe rail freight routes, according to data released by the local customs service on Monday. This figure is a 40 percent increase compared to the previous year.
Another cargo train recently departed Shenzhen's Pinghunan National Logistics Hub, bound for Vorsino Station on the Moscow Railway. The train is carrying 565 tons of goods produced in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, including everyday items such as women's chevrolet boots, massage devices, and electronic gadgets that meet market demand in Russia.
As a reminder, Shenzhen was one of the first special economic zones established by the Chinese government after the announcement of reform and opening-up. Over time, it has developed into a high-tech and innovation city known as "China's Silicon Valley," a national logistics hub, and a financial center of national significance. Furthermore, it is positioned as a central city in the economically rapidly developing Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Over the past five years—from August 18, 2020, when the first China-Europe international rail freight train departed from Shenzhen, to August 18, 2025—a total of 878 China-Europe trains have departed from Shenzhen's Pinghunan National Logistics Hub, carrying over 85,000 standard containers of cargo with a total value of US$3 billion. The annual freight volume has grown in value for five consecutive years.
At the same time, the number of China-Europe freight routes originating from Shenzhen has grown from the initial single route to 27, covering 47 countries and regions worldwide, including Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Russia. These include, in addition to traditional routes such as Shenzhen-Małaszewicze (Poland), Shenzhen-Duisburg (Germany), and Shenzhen-Budapest (Hungary), the recently launched direct Shenzhen-Moscow route via the Ereenhot checkpoint (on the Chinese-Mongolian border) and a logistics channel using the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TCITR).
Currently, the China-Europe rail freight service from Shenzhen serves more than 7,000 enterprises that export mainly goods produced in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, such as consumer electronics, electronic gadgets, household goods, and footwear.
