The Horgos railway port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region set a new record on March 17, handling its 2,000th China-Europe freight train this year. Marking its 10th anniversary this month, the port has processed over 54,000 such trains since opening in March 2016. 

Operating around the clock with departures about every two hours, it now moves over 200 types of goods, supporting global supply chains. Smart technologies have boosted efficiency by over 50%, linking 46 cities across 18 countries via 91 routes.
