China-Nepal border land port resumes two-way trade after 8 years

In 2015, the earthquake destroyed roads, bridges, and facilities at the port, forcing it to shut down. However, in 2019, it partially reopened to allow exports to Nepal. During the initial three-month period of this year, exports valued at 249 million yuan and weighing over 17,000 tonnes, were transported via the port.

Chinese media reports quote Peng Yihao, deputy party chief of Xigaze, as saying that the port's reopening for two-way cargo trade is expected to enhance foreign trade in Xigaze and bring benefits to Tibet by elevating its level of openness.
