The service will run once a month on a fixed schedule, enhancing trade links between the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Central Asia, Wang added.

The railway operator China Railway Beijing Group said it had set up a dedicated team to oversee loading and safety procedures, introduced priority handling for the service, and provided online one-stop logistics services for clients. Local railway authorities in Zhangjiakou also coordinated to ensure punctual departures.
