Main routes of international rail transport from China

Five main routes of international railway intermodal transport from China to Russia, five Central Asian countries, Mongolia, North Korea, and Vietnam:

1. Routes to Russia via Manzhouli Port in my country

Manzhouli is a border port city in my country. Administratively, it belongs to my country's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Manzhouli Station is the terminus of the Binzhou Line. The Binzhou Line starts from Harbin and goes northwest to Manzhouli, with a total length of 935 kilometers. Manzhouli Station is a first-class passenger and freight station under the jurisdiction of Harbin Railway Bureau.

Adjacent to my country's Manzhouli border port is Russia's Zabaikalsk. Zabaikalsk is located in Chita Oblast, Russia, going up 85 kilometers to Boraya, and then north to Karymskoje, connecting the Siberian railway network to all parts of Russia and inland Europe.

Manzhouli Station is 9.8 kilometers away from the Sino-Russian border line, and the adjacent Zabaikalsk Station is 1.3 kilometers away from the Sino-Russian border line. Due to the different widths of railway tracks between the two countries, import and export goods need to be reloaded at the border station before they can be transported. my country's export goods are reloaded at the Zabaikalsk station, and the imported goods are reloaded at the Manzhouli station.

In recent years, with the rapid growth of Sino-Russian trade, Manzhouli Port is an important distribution center for my country's import and export of goods to Russia. The Binzhou Line is also the most important railway among the several railway lines leading to neighboring countries in my country.

2. Routes for shipment to five Central Asian countries via Alashankou Port in my country

Alashankou is located in Bole County, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, my country, 570 kilometers away from Urumqi Highway. The railway has a northern line from Urumqi to Alashankou, with a total length of 460 kilometers. Alashankou is the second mainland port in my country after Manchuria. In 2007, the throughput of import and export goods at Alashankou Port reached 12.48 million tons.

Adjacent to Alashankou Port is Dostyk Station in Kazakhstan (Note: Dostyk was formerly known as Druzhba, and was renamed Dostyk Station in 2007). The Beijiang Line exits through the Alashankou Port to the terminal Dostyk Station of the Kazakhstan-Turkey-Western Railway Branch Line, connecting the transportation network of Central Asian countries.

Alashankou is located in the famous Abbey wind area. It is windy all year round, with an annual average wind speed of 2.1 m/s and strong winds above level 8 for more than 160 days. However, during the windy season, the visibility of the mountain pass is good, and the port is passable all year round.

Due to the different railway gauges between China and Kazakhstan, import and export goods need to be reloaded at the border station before they can be transported. my country's export goods are reloaded at Dostyk Station, and imported goods are reloaded at Alashankou Station.

Alashankou is an important port for my country's economic and trade with Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, as well as an important transportation hub on the Eurasian Continental Bridge. With the economic development of western China and the strengthening of economic and trade activities between China and Central Asia, Alashankou Port will play a more important role.

Three, the route to the Republic of Mongolia via the hot port on the second side of my car

Erenhot is located in the north-central part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a port city on the border between my country and the Republic of Mongolia. The city covers an area of ​​450 square kilometers and has a personality of 16,000. Erenhot Station is on the Beijing-Baotou Line in my country, extending from Jining Station to Erenhot Station in the northwest, with a total length of 333 kilometers.

Erenhot Station is the terminal station of the second line, 4.8 kilometers away from the China-Mongolia border line and 9.3 kilometers away from the Mongolian border station Zamyn-Uud. It is an important railway line from my country to Mongolia, and it is also the railway route from my country to Russia and Europe. The distance from Beijing to Moscow via Erenhot is 1,141 kilometers shorter than via Manzhouli. However, due to the current lack of traffic capacity and serious bureaucracy at the border ports of Russia and Mongolia, most of the goods from China to Russia are still shipped through the Manzhouli port.

Due to the different railway gauges between the two countries, import and export goods need to be reloaded at the border station before they can be transported. my country's export goods are reloaded at Zamyn-Uud Station, and imported goods are reloaded at Erenhot Station.

4. The route of shipment to North Korea via Dandong Port in my country

Dandong Station is the terminus of the Shendan Line. The railway from Shenyang to Dandong is 274 kilometers long and is connected to the North Korean railway across the Yalu River. Adjacent to Dandong is North Korea's Sinuiju Station. Dandong Station is 1.4 kilometers away from the China-North Korea border line, and Sinuiju Station is 1.7 kilometers away from the China-North Korea border line. The distance between the two border stations is only 3.1 kilometers.

The railways between China and North Korea have the same gauge, and the original vehicles can cross the tracks, and the goods do not need to be reloaded at the border station.

V. The route of shipment to Vietnam via Pingxiang port in my country

Pingxiang Station is the border transfer station for my country's railways to transport goods to Vietnam. It starts from Hengyang, Hunan in the north, passes through Liuzhou, Guangxi, and reaches the terminal in Pingxiang, Nanning, with a total length of 1013 kilometers.

A section of Vietnam's railway connecting Pingxiang, my country, is a general-purpose standard track and a meter gauge (1000 mm gauge) mixed track. Vehicles can pass directly over the track, so the goods can be transported without reloading.
