The China–Laos Railway, which launched its international passenger service on April 13, 2023, has transported over 222,000 cross-border passengers, said the Mohan border checkpoint in southwest China’s Yunnan Province.

Over 1,000 such international passenger trains have served travelers from 96 countries and regions since the service was launched, according to Mohan’s entry-exit border inspection station on the China-Laos border and local railway authorities.

The China-Laos Railway, a landmark project of the high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, began operations in December 2021. The 1,035-km railway connects Kunming in China with Vientiane in Laos.
