Riding the China Europe freight train, Xinjiang tomato sauce at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is exported across mountains and seas to Europe; Wheat flour from Kazakhstan is used to make roujiamo and served on the dining tables of Shaanxi people... During a recent interview and research with the China Europe freight train, the reporter noticed this interesting scene. Since the beginning of the Silk Road, food has been an important witness to the integration of civilizations. In the past, exotic ingredients such as grapes, pineapples, peppers, etc. crossed mountains and rivers, met Eastern diners through the ancient Silk Road, and China also transmitted the fragrance of tea to the world. From the sound of camel bells to the speeding of trains, the "steel camel caravan" of the new era gallops day and night, and the sound of sirens echoes constantly. This new Silk Road woven by taste buds is also radiating new pulse. Fresh tomato sauce spaghetti, crispy fish and chips, and rich Italian pizza are all Western delicacies that cannot do without the addition of the "soul" seasoning tomato sauce. Xinjiang has abundant sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night, and the tomatoes grown under its unique natural conditions have excellent quality. Its yield and export volume account for an important proportion worldwide. In April of this year, the new route of the China Europe freight train from Urumqi International Land Port Area in Xinjiang to Italy, which crosses the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea South Channel, was launched for the first time, transporting agricultural and sideline products such as tomato sauce, saving more than half of the time compared to sea transportation. For some time now, shipping congestion and rising freight rates caused by the Red Sea crisis have further increased the cost pressure on enterprises. The stable operation of the China Europe freight train has solved everyone's urgent needs, and the owner of a supply chain company that has been engaged in the transportation of agricultural and sideline products finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also calculated an account for the reporter: if the entire journey is taken by sea, departing from Tianjin Port and bypassing the Cape of Good Hope to Italy, the shipping cost for one container is nearly $5000, while it can be much cheaper through the China Europe railway sea intermodal transportation. Delicious food is not only transported out, but the New Silk Road, which travels thousands of miles, is also a "two-way rush" on the tip of the tongue. In Xi'an, people enjoy a variety of delicious food while sitting on the China Europe freight train: on the shelves of imported supermarkets, beer from Germany and honey, biscuits, ice cream and other products from Central Asian countries are dazzling; In the Health Life Experience Hall, delicacies such as Roujiamo and Saozi noodles made from Kazakh wheat flour are widely popular... The reporter learned that for many years, a Xi'an enterprise has been deeply involved in "going global" and has established an agricultural product logistics and processing park in North Kazakhstan Oblast, Kazakhstan. The locally sorted high-quality wheat and processed flour can be directly transported to China by the China Europe freight train "Chang'an". Nowadays, the company has reached a cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan for 1.5 million acres of agricultural planting orders, and has purchased nearly 600000 tons of oil, wheat, and other crops, providing nearly 200 job opportunities for Kazakhstan and driving the development of related industrial chains. More and higher quality products are continuously transported back through the China Europe freight train, which not only enriches the choices of Chinese consumers, but also allows ordinary people in countries along the route to enjoy dividends From infrastructure connectivity, smooth trade to people to people connectivity, this enterprise is full of confidence in its future development. On average, there is a China Europe freight train departing from Xi'an International Port Station every 100 minutes. Driving nearby, it is not difficult to find the highlights on the road signs - "Qinhan Avenue" and "Eurasia Avenue" intersect horizontally and vertically, quietly framed together, as if reminding people of the past and present of this city. Over two thousand years ago, Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions and brought back pomegranates from the ancient Silk Road. Nowadays, pomegranate flowers have become the city flower of Xi'an. Moreover, thanks to the China Europe Express, Fujian's seafood is exported to Russia through cold chain transportation for the first time, Hubei crayfish can "swim" to European tables in 17 days, and the ASEAN Zhengzhou cold chain train makes it easy for countrymen to realize the freedom of durian, mangosteen, coconut green... Over the past decade, China Europe Express has operated more than 100000 trains, reaching 227 cities in 25 European countries, connecting more than 100 cities in 11 Asian countries, and basically covering the whole of Europe and Asia. An increasingly diverse and delicious journey arrives in both directions through the China Europe freight train. The New Silk Road on the tip of the tongue is the most flavorful sharing and win-win of civilization. (New Society)
