The Hengyang hub of the Hunan-Guangdong-Africa rail-sea combined transport launched its first freight train on April 26. This rail-sea freight train route is an important logistics channel between China and Africa. With such a combined transport channel which integrates railway, sea, and inland section of international logistics, the export enterprises in Hengyang got an access to the sea. A new “five-in-one” pattern integrating industries, industrial parks, ports, transport channels, and markets has taken shape. (Photo/Luo Maomeng)

Carrying 40 TEUs of baking soda, this freight train departed from the Hengyang Hub on April 26, and will arrive in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam on May 5, after being transferred at the Guangzhou Port.
