On the first day of the Chinese New Year (February 17th, 2026), a China-Europe freight train loaded with Guangdong-made smart-manufactured products and New Year wishes departed slowly from the International Port in Guangzhou. Operated by Guangdong GW International Logistics, the provincial China-Europe Railway Express operator, it was the first train from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) in the Year of the Horse, signifying that the GBA's international logistics corridor has embarked on a new phase of high-quality operations with renewed vigor and vitality.

This inaugural Chinese New Year train carries 55 standard containers filled with electric bicycles, home appliances, kitchenware and daily commodities, with a total cargo weight of approximately 669 tons and a total value exceeding 24 million yuan. The train will leave China via the Manzhouli Port and is expected to arrive in Moscow in 18 days. As the first train of the Chinese New Year, the shipment of premium "Guangdong-made products" is set to deliver not only festive greetings from Guangdong in southern China but also industrial vitality to countries along the Eurasian continent.

Data shows that GW's China-Europe Railway Express has built an extensive international logistics network comprising 60 routes (45 outbound and 15 inbound). To date, nearly 2,800 train trips have been operated, transporting goods worth a total of 68 billion yuan, providing export logistics services for numerous key industries in the GBA, including cross-border e-commerce, high-end equipment manufacturing, light industry and textile industry.

The year 2026 is crucial for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan and a critical period for upgrading the quality and efficiency of the GBA's China-Europe Railway Express. Moving forward,GW's China-Europe Railway Express will strive for further progress, expanding new routes to Europe, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, while exploring integrated models combining freight train services with cross-border e-commerce and cold chain logistics.
