Shiliuyun-Xinjiang Daily (Reporter Shi Xin) news: On April 6, 2025, the first "Tianshan Express—Guangdong-Xinjiang Fast Line" container train slowly pulled into the Urumqi International Land Port Area with its carriages filled with a variety of fast-moving consumer goods from South China. After a brief stop, the train resumed its westward journey, heading towards Almaty Station and Igilik Station in Kazakhstan. With this, a new swift and economic corridor connecting South China, northwest China's Xinjiang, and even Central Asia was officially declared operational, erecting a brand-new bridge for economic and trade exchanges between these regions.

On February 26, 2025, Xinjiang International Land Port (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Zhonghaitong Logistics Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Leveraging their respective advantageous resources, both parties will jointly explore new pathways for industrial transformation aimed at reducing logistics costs across society and drive value enhancement in the industrial chain through collaborative innovation.

Under the intensive preparations by both sides, just over a month later, on April 1, 2025, the first "Tianshan Express—Guangdong-Xinjiang Fast Line" container train successfully commenced its inaugural journey, pioneering an all-railway transportation model from South China to northwest China's Xinjiang. This transformation not only significantly slashed logistics costs but also acted as a vital link, tightly connecting South China, northwest China's Xinjiang, and Central Asia, forging a new efficient and rapid logistics corridor.

In the future, both parties will leverage Xinjiang's unique geographical advantages and resource endowments to promote steady growth in the transportation volume of the "Tianshan Express—Guangdong-Xinjiang Fast Line," enhance full-chain operational efficiency, strengthen end-to-end operational and service guarantees, reduce logistics costs, and jointly drive the high-quality development of Xinjiang's logistics industry.
