Customs statistics show that a total of 2,853 inbound and outbound China-Europe freight trains passed through the ports of Erenhot and Manzhouli in 2018, up 34.2 percent.

The number of standard containers carried on the trains reached 193,000, up 29.1 percent, with products worth a total of 11.51 billion U.S. dollars, up 28.8 percent.
