A brand-new rail station — Xianglushan — has just opened in Wuhan (Hubei Province, China), serving as a new departure point for freight trains heading to Europe and Central Asia.

-> The first train left for Kazakhstan on August 6, 2025.

-> Shipments from this station are expected to be 2 days faster and 15% cheaper.

-> The new route strengthens logistics connections between China and regional markets.

Just last month, Wuhan also launched its first multimodal route to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, expanding China’s overland reach into Central Asia.

China’s rail gateways to Eurasia are expanding — and getting more efficient.
