Ürümqi, January 13 (Xinhua) — A total of 8,165 freight trains on the China-Europe/Central Asia international rail freight routes passed through the Alashankou port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2025, reaching a record high, local customs officials reported.
This figure increased by 6.3 percent year-on-year, according to the data.
According to customs officials, thanks to improved efficiency and the use of intelligent technologies for customs inspection, the time spent waiting for trains to depart from the aforementioned border crossing was significantly reduced last year. In 2025, the maximum number of trains passing through Alashankou per day was 30, and the time required for customs clearance was reduced by 18.4 percent compared to 2024.
Moreover, the record figure was achieved thanks to the scientifically sound organization of the work of Chinese railway workers, as well as their precise coordination with Kazakhstani railway authorities, which made it possible to complete the transshipment of cargo on returning trains in an average of two hours.
As a reminder, China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains currently operate through the Alashankou checkpoint on 128 routes, linking China with 21 countries, including Germany and Poland. The goods transported exceed 200 categories, including auto parts, electronics, and consumer goods.
