Decade of Accelerated Connectivity
Operating 24/7 with departures every two hours, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region hub now transports 200+ commodity categories – from automotive parts to consumer electronics. Advanced tracking systems and automated customs clearance have increased operational efficiency by 52% since 2021.
