Guiyang International Land Port and Qingzhen International Land Port, both located in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, reported 5,126 freight train carriages with a cargo throughput of 241,600 metric tons in the first quarter of this year, accounting for 21 percent of their annual cargo throughput target.
During the period, the two land ports registered 94 trips of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor freight train, up 324.16 percent year-on-year, according to Zhang Yongjun, general manager of Guiyang International Land Port Co.
The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is currently stimulating Guizhou's advantage in location, boosting the efficiency of goods circulation in the inland area, and has gradually become a crucial channel for Guizhou products to go global.
Guiyang International Land Port is a large freight station and is located in Guiyang Free Trade Zone (Guiyang FTZ), directly connecting to railway stations.
Relying on the convenient customs clearance, and bonded and tax exemption policies granted by Guiyang FTZ, Guizhou is deepening cooperation with coastal ports and shipping companies through the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and Guizhou-Guangdong Corridor, encouraging goods to be transported by rail rather than by road, before being transferred to ports and shipped to every corner of the world.
Along with the routes of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, Guiyang has access to the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe railway in the north and Guangxi's Beibu Gulf Port in the south.
