BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) -- A China-Europe cargo train left south China's Guangdong Province recently, heading for Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, reported yidaiyilu.gov.cn Tuesday.
Carrying 45 TEUs of communication equipment, the cargo train will leave China via the Horgos Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
It will travel a total of 7,000 kilometers, pass by Kazakhstan, and arrive at the destination in ten day, marking a new cargo train route that has connected China's Guangdong with Uzbekistan.
