Jiangsu Province, a major export-oriented economic powerhouse in the country, saw its freight train trips to Europe and Central Asia during the week-long Spring Festival holiday reach 42, up 180% over the same period last year. 

During the holiday from January 31 to February 6, Nanjing had five freight train trips including a train exclusively loaded with wear-resistant materials to Kazakhstan.  

A freight train from Hai’an departed for Hanoi on the first day of the first lunar month, a sign of the regular operation of the trade route to Vietnam. 

Xuzhou and Suzhou reported six and 16 cargo train trips respectively, including those exclusively for Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group, a leading Chinese machinery manufacturer, and a plant of Great Wall Motor in Taizhou. Lianyungang, a coastal city in the province, saw 16 train trips to Central Asia.
