Cross-border e-commerce gains traction aboard China-Europe freight trains
Residents of Chengdu, a city in southwest China known as a major habitat for giant pandas, are able to feast their eyes on products from nearly 40 countries during the Spring Festival holiday.
Located in northeast Chengdu, the Chengdu International Railway Port has set up a cluster of pavilions to showcase and sell choice overseas products, ranging from French wines to German beers and Italian coffee.
Most of the goods were imported via the China-Europe freight trains, a rail connectivity project initiated by China to boost exchanges with European countries. The Chinese New Year shopping tradition has led many locals to flock to the shopping cluster next to the freight rail, in search of variety and great deals.
