the significance of China-Europe trains

The logistics channels between Asia and Europe mainly include sea lanes, air lanes and land lanes. China-Europe trains have become the backbone of land transportation in international logistics because of their short transportation distance, high speed and high safety, as well as their advantages of safety, quickness, environmental protection and little influence from the natural environment.

China-Europe train logistics organizations are becoming more and more mature, the economic and trade exchanges between countries along the train are becoming more and more active, and the cooperation between railways, ports, customs and other departments between countries is becoming closer. These favorable conditions play an important role in further playing the role of international logistics backbone for railways and transforming the Silk Road from the original "trade road" into an "economic belt" where industries and people gather in the "Belt and Road" strategy.
