railway container centers in China and a national first-class railway freight 
hub, China Railway Express (Shenyang) Hub can handle over 1,000 trains every 
year. Currently, the China Railway Express (Shenyang) has realized the full 
coverage of "three routes and five ports", and the cargo delivered has reached 
out to ocver 50 overseas cities in more than 20 countries across the world. The 
number of trains in operation ranks the first in Northeast China and among the

should seize the opportunity of this inaugural departure to accelerate the 
expansion and upgrading of infrastructures, strengthen land-sea linkage and 
multimodal transport, improve functions of the port, to build a land hub of 
import and export commodity in Northeast China with continuously growing 
capacity. 

"We need to promote reform and innovation, improve sustainable operation, 
strengthen digital and technological empowerment, and develop new models and 
business forms such as 'freight trains + cold chain products' and 'freight 
trains + customized services', to improve the quality, efficiency and 
competitiveness of our services. We need to pay greater attention to industrial 
cultivation, actively attract such industries as manufacturing, modern 
logistics and commodity trade for concentrated development, thus to create an 
industrial ecosystem. Moreover, we need to make full use of the hub to build a 
first-class international land port as well as an important terminal of the
