New land-sea cargo route connecting China-Germany opens

In the new route, containers from Xi’an reach Saint Petersburg in Russia by train, from where they are delivered to the port of Mukran in Germany by sea, and are again reloaded onto a train for the final destination of Mannheim.

The advantage with the new route is that it avoids the traditional China-Europe route where there is overcrowding at several busy stations in the east European countries, Chinese media reports said quoting Yuan Xiaojun, general manager of the Xi’an free trade port construction and operation company.
