This is the first China-Europe train from the Greater Bay Area during the Lunar New Year, and the first China-Europe train in Guangdong to leave through Tongjiangbei Port.

With the smooth launch of the Pinghu South train through Tongjiangbei Port, it marks that the Greater Bay Area has initially completed the construction of a cross-border train logistics network of five entry and exit ports, creating a regional export-oriented economic development for the Bay Area, adding a logistics channel connecting the European continent, and further deepening and smoothing the domestic and international "dual circulation".
According to the data, at present, the Greater Bay Area has opened and operated more than 40 China-Europe freight train transportation routes at 5 stations, and the number of trips and one-way freight volume have reached a record high for 11 consecutive years, and a total of 211 production and living materials have been transported420,000 tons. With the continuous expansion of the brand effect of China-Europe trains, Guangzhou Railway Group actively explores and expands the development space for efficient and convenient cooperation in international multimodal transport.
The China-Europe train in the Greater Bay Area will not close during the Chinese New Year, and the Guangzhou Railway Group plans to run more than 4 China-Europe trains per day during the Spring Festival, and organize 2 return trains at the same time to transport back high-quality and low-cost "foreign New Year goods" for the people. "Two-way travel" joins hands with Asian and European countries and regions to build a "multi-directional extension, consultation and sharing" transportation service network system.
