Manzhouli Special:New railway line to boost trade and tourism with Eurasia

The 11,800-kilometer Suzhou-Manzhouli-Europe railway line, which opened last September, is expected to boost China's trade with Eurasia.

The train line starts in East China's economic powerhouse, Suzhou in Jiangsu province. It runs to the Manzhouli port in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region and finishes in Warsaw, Poland. The whole trip takes 18 days.

Compared to other train lines the new railway cuts traveling time by four days and reduces costs by $2,100 per container.
