　　International Online News (Reporter Huang Rong): In the Vision and Action of Promoting the Construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road issued by the China Municipal Government in March 2015, Xi ‘an was defined as "a new highland of inland reform and opening up". Xi ‘an, once the starting point of the ancient Silk Road and now in the geometric center of China’s territory, has actively integrated into the national "One Belt, One Road" opening-up and regional coordinated development strategy, made concerted efforts in land and air transportation, and actively built the "One Belt, One Road" international logistics channel.

　　Small target of "Chang ‘an" this year — — Run 1000 trains.

　　On May 12, in Xi ‘an International Port Area, the reporter saw rows of containers full of goods parked in the port area, ready to board the Central Asian and Central European train "Changan" and rush to all parts of the world. Liu Dan, deputy general manager of Xi ‘an land port Multimodal Transport Company, told the reporter, "At present, trains in Central Asia and Central Europe have been operating normally, with eight operating routes, namely, Xi ‘an to Central Asia, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Iran (Afghanistan), Finland, Belarus and Russia, basically achieving full coverage of major sources of goods in Central Asia and Europe."

　　The opening of Central Asia Train and Central Europe Train has built a gold logistics route connecting Central Asia and radiating the hinterland of Europe, and opened up a safe, efficient and convenient international import and export trade channel for China’s goods exported to Europe and European products entering China. Liu Dan said, "As of March 25th this year, the Central Asian and Central European trains" Chang ‘an "operated 168 trains in 2018, with a total cargo weight of 179,000 tons. This year, the international port area has a "small goal" — — Run 1000 trains ‘ Changan ’ " . After five years of rapid development, the speeding international freight trains have become a new business card for Shaanxi to open to the outside world.
