In southwest China's Chongqing, far from any coastline, Guoyuan Port is redefining what an inland hub can achieve.

Despite covering just 4.3 square kilometers, the port handled more than 26 million tonnes of cargo in 2025, ranking first along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Driving this growth is China's "golden waterway," the Yangtze River, enabling seamless connections between inland production centers and global markets.
