Kunming, October 10 (Xinhua) — As of Wednesday, the China-Laos Railway has carried more than 60 million passengers since its launch, including 595,000 cross-border passengers from 115 countries and regions, according to data from the Kunming branch of China Railway Corporation.
To meet growing demand, a second pair of international trains between Kunming (the capital of Yunnan Province, southwest China) and Vientiane in Laos was added on the line in July 2025, doubling the number of daily trains to four.
Service improvements include the opening of dedicated ticket counters, support for international card payment methods, and the creation of optimized cross-border booking systems.
To date, passenger traffic has increased by 2.38 percent year-on-year to 15.48 million passenger journeys this year. This demonstrates the important role of the China-Laos Railway in providing regional transport connectivity.
As a reminder, the China-Laos railway was officially commissioned in December 2021, and international passenger services linking Kunming and Vientiane were launched in April 2023. -0-
