The China-Laos Railway, which launched its international passenger service on April 13, 2023, has handled over 222,000 cross-border passenger trips as of July 5, said the Mohan border checkpoint in southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Since the launch of its cross-border passenger service, the railway has become the preferred mode of transport for a growing number of international travelers due to its affordability, convenience and comfort. The railway project is actually a section of the Kunming-Singapore Railway Project, which connects Kunming with Singapore, passing through Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia.
