New Dazhou-SE Asia freight route via China-Laos Railway launched

The train, which is headed to Vientiane—the capital of Laos, will travel through southwest China’s Chongqing municipality, Yunnan province, and northern Laos’ Luang Prabang enroute, according to various Chinese media reports. The recently launched freight train service will assist important local businesses in extending their market reach in the Indo-China Peninsula and Southeast Asia as well as expedite cargo collection from Sichuan and Chongqing.

Currently, 21 provinces and regions have introduced freight train services via the China-Laos Railway. The 1,000km-long railway network, which has been operational since December 3, 2021, connects Yunnan’s Kunming to Vientiane.
