The first China-Vietnam freight train route linking northwest China’s Shaanxi province to Vietnam has become operable after a freight train from Xi’an international port recently started its journey to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. 
 
The new train enroute to Hanoi is stocked with 41 carriages of asbestos, which were sent from Kazakhstan to Xi’an through the China-Europe freight train service, according to Chinese media reports. Earlier it would take around 20 days to ship goods from Xi’an to Vietnam through the combined rail-sea transport route. The China-Vietnam freight train route which goes via Guangxi's Pingxiang port has enabled the trip to be shortened to eight days — a distance of 2,384 km.
 
The total trade volume between China and ASEAN from the month of January to July in 2022 added up to 3.53 trillion yuan (around $514.3 billion).
