On the passenger side, since the summer travel rush began on July 1, the domestic section of the railway has handled 649,000 passenger trips, with more than 11,000 passenger entries and exits recorded at Mohan port.

The China-Laos Railway's sustained growth trajectory signals significant opportunities for businesses involved in cross-border logistics, warehousing, and cold chain transportation.
