2023 Internet celebrity Yunnan trip, let's explore this railway connecting China and Laos together! The completion of the China Laos Railway is not only an infrastructure construction, but also a pioneering cooperation project. Through this railway, Laos' inland regions have formed broader connections with various parts of the world, which is a huge opportunity for Laos' development. China's assistance is not only for construction, but also a form of support and assistance for the development of landlocked countries. The construction of this railway is not only for the railway itself, but also to accelerate the economic development of Laos and improve the living standards of the Lao people. China's assistance reflects China's care for developing countries and is also a manifestation of a community with a shared future for mankind. The construction of this railway has also brought many benefits to China. Through railway transportation, Chinese goods can directly reach Laos without the need for transit through other countries. This not only saves time and costs, but more importantly, enhances economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. In addition, China's railway technology has also been improved and expanded. In this project, the Chinese company was not only responsible for the construction work, but also trained a group of Lao workers, imparting Chinese railway technology and management experience.

This has also led to a wider dissemination and application of China's railway technology. Of course, for individual businesses, the opening of the China Laos Railway has brought them tangible benefits. Merchants like Yang Zhihua have made the opening of railways more convenient and economical for their business development. The opening of railways has greatly reduced transportation costs and shortened the transportation time of goods, which is a significant expense savings for businesses. The opening of the China Laos railway is an important cooperation project for both countries. Behind the construction of this railway is the profound friendship and spirit of mutual assistance between the people of China and Laos. The opening of this railway is not only an infrastructure construction, but also a manifestation of a community with a shared future for mankind. In addition to promoting economic and trade freight transportation, the extension of railways to the hinterland of Laos has also spurred the vigorous development of the tourism industry, bringing earth shaking changes to the Laotians. Laos has been committed to promoting the construction and opening of the China Laos railway, because they are full of expectations for new opportunities brought by the railway. The China Laos Railway is 1035 km long and divided into three sections. The first two sections are located in Yunnan, China, with a total length of over 580 kilometers. The third section is connected from Mohan on the border to Vientiane, with a total length of 418 kilometers.

The construction time of these three sections of the railway is different. When the third section of the railway started construction at the end of 2015, the Laotians along the railway truly felt the speed of change. Kashi is located in the northern part of Laos and is a basin area surrounded by mountains on all sides. Before the construction of the railway, the only road that crossed Kashgar was a highway, leading south to Vientiane and north to Luang Prabang. However, due to traffic congestion, most people here have hardly seen the outside world. They have always been farmers for generations and can only occasionally get in touch with the outside world by doing small business with people passing through Kashi. However, since the news of the China Laos Railway came out, great changes have taken place in Garxi. During the early stages of railway construction, the Ghaxi people had already found various job opportunities on the construction site. For example, Yangkan Simara, a native of Kashgar, found a job as a chef on a construction site in 2016. Prior to this, she and her husband mainly relied on growing chili peppers for a living, but the sales revenue of chili peppers was very unstable, earning only about 10 million kips a year, equivalent to about 7800 yuan in Chinese yuan.

However, since she started working on the construction site, her annual income alone has approached 20 million kips, which is more than the previous annual income of her entire family. Although the railway has not yet officially opened and is only in the construction phase, it has brought new opportunities and changes to her. Before, Yang Kan had never even taken a train, and he had never even seen a train. With the laying of sections of railway tracks, Yang Kan is busy at the construction site every day, and at the same time, he has also nurtured new dreams. She hopes that after the railway is opened, she can not only transport the chili peppers she grows to Vientiane for sale, but also take a train to the capital to experience the convenience and speed brought by the railway firsthand. Like Yang Kan, there is another Gaxi person named Daha who works on the construction site. He drives a flat car at the project site of the 14th Hydropower Bureau. He also deeply felt the changes brought by the railway. The construction of the railway not only provided him with a stable job, but also created more opportunities and development space for him. By participating in railway construction, he can not only bring more income to his family, but also learn more skills and knowledge, and improve his overall quality. He is full of hope for the future and believes that with the opening of the railway, the development of Kashi will become more prosperous.

In short, the construction of the China Laos railway not only promotes economic and trade freight transport, but also brings new development opportunities to Laotians. Especially for remote areas like Kashi, the construction and opening of railways signifies a historic change. It not only changes people's way of life, but also opens up new perspectives and opportunities for them. With the extension of the railway, it is believed that the development of Laos will take it to a new level. Daha, a young man from Xieng Khouang, Laos, once only fantasized about traveling to Vientiane or Luang Prabang one day because he never imagined that the railway could extend to his hometown. However, now he watches helplessly as the railway roadbed that he has personally leveled extends, and his dreams continue to expand. He hopes that his children can travel to China by train or even work in the future. Therefore, he believes that after the construction of the railway, it can not only connect the current world, but also benefit future generations. Daha's dream is being realized by the younger generation of Laotians. For example, Liu Yalan, a Lao international student studying at Dalian Medical University in China.

With the opening of China Laos railway cross-border passenger transport, Liu Yalan can take a train from Vientiane back to school, and can directly reach Kunming by changing trains in Vientiane. Although there is no direct train from Kunming to Dalian, only one transfer is required on the way. Therefore, this Laotian international student can easily transfer from the Indochina Peninsula to the Liaodong Peninsula, although geographically located thousands of miles apart, with only three transfers. Liu Yalan took the "Lancang" train once this summer vacation. She was very excited about taking such a comfortable high-speed train in her own country and decided to choose train travel for both school and home in the future. She has witnessed the rapid development in China, and believes that through the China Laos railway, her country can also take advantage of the "the Belt and Road" to achieve the same development achievements. Young people look forward to the future with hope. With the continuous deepening of the operation of the China Laos railway, business owners can most feel the facilitation of freight business. Cross border trade has opened a new chapter. Taking Hunan native Yang Zhihua as an example, he stated that road freight used to take more than two weeks. However, since the opening of the railway at the end of 2021, the freight time between China and Laos has greatly shortened.

For example, if you are currently in Guangzhou, whether you are going to a supermarket or a farmers' market, the durian you see is definitely the freshest. Fan Ligang runs a tropical fruit business in Guangzhou. The opening of the China Laos Railway has kept the Durian sold by his company extremely fresh. Picked from the durian trees in Thailand, the durian can be delivered to Kunming in only 4 days through the "Lancang Mekong Express" freight business of the China Laos Railway. (A freight train is loaded at Kunming Central Station of China Railway Union) The opening of China Laos Railway not only makes transportation more convenient, but also brings more development opportunities and economic growth to Laos. The railway will become a new carrier of friendly cooperation between Laos and China, playing an important role in promoting trade exchanges, personnel exchanges, cultural dissemination, and other aspects. The construction and operation of the China Laos Railway is not only the result of the cooperation between the two governments, but also the witness of the friendship between the two peoples. The people of China and Laos are full of expectations and hopes for the China Laos railway. They believe that this railway will bring more opportunities and benefits to the people of both countries. The China Laos Railway has provided better transportation conditions and development platforms for both young students with dreams and entrepreneurs who want to develop their business.

Through this railway, they can more conveniently go to their destination, broaden their horizons, explore markets, and achieve their dreams. The opening of the China Laos Railway is not only a transportation link between the two countries, but also a link between the hearts of the two peoples. It will promote exchanges and understanding between the people of China and Laos, and deepen friendship and cooperation between them. The construction and operation of the China Laos railway show the determination and efforts of the Chinese and Laotian people to pursue development and prosperity together. This railway will become a symbol of friendship and cooperation between the people of China and Laos, and will also bring a better future to the two peoples. With the continuous development of railways, more and more cross-border trade and logistics have been realized on railways, which has played a positive role in promoting various commercial development. As a merchant, Fan Ligang has always been very concerned about the transportation and quality of durian. The opening of the railway has further expanded the company's business, and Fan Ligang has begun to focus on southwestern markets such as Guizhou and Chengdu. According to Xu Chao, the person in charge of China Railway Union in Kunming, in July and August of this year, tropical fruits such as durian and mangosteen were transported to Kunming with an average daily quantity of around 300 tons.

This also indicates that the transportation capacity of railways is gradually improving, playing a positive role in promoting the transportation of agricultural and sideline products such as tropical fruits. In addition to tropical fruits, rubber in Laos is also one of the important goods transported by railway. Previously, due to transportation cost constraints, rubber in Laos could only be transported by car, which was costly and inefficient. However, now relying on large-scale railway shipments can save a lot of transportation costs per ton, which is very beneficial for the development of enterprises. Undoubtedly, the opening of railways has a very positive promoting effect on cross-border trade between Laos and China. The opening of the railway has also made passenger transport grow continuously, and the China Laos railway has become the "golden channel" for tourism. The author believes that railway transportation not only has fast speed and cheap prices, but also allows for the beautiful scenery along the railway, which is undoubtedly a major benefit for the tourism industry. Previously, 63% of passenger transportation in Laos relied on road transportation, and the freight volume exceeded 90%. However, due to the long-term slow development of Laos, its hardened road sections are only maintained at a level of 23%, often affected by floods and landslides, and many road sections are periodically closed. The opening of the China Laos Railway has not only changed the unfavorable situation of transportation in Laos, but also provided more tourism options for tourists.

Luang Prabang, as a famous tourist destination on the The World Heritage List, has greatly facilitated the travel needs of tourists with the opening of the railway. The scenery along the entire railway is also an excellent tourism resource, which is undoubtedly a very good business opportunity for Laotian businessmen. At the beginning of this year, Wang Wei and others established an international travel agency in Kunming, marking the opening of the railway and playing a positive role in promoting the development of the tourism industry. In short, the development of railways is a highly anticipated trend, which not only promotes the development of various cross-border trade and logistics, but also benefits the development of the passenger and tourism industries. I believe that in future development, railways will become a more important mode of transportation, bringing more opportunities and challenges to the development of various industries. According to the statistics of railway operation, since the old railway opened cross-border passenger transport in mid April this year, it has transported more than 50000 passengers from 49 countries and regions. This number is impressive, highlighting the importance and attraction of the China Laos Railway. (Passengers boarding from Kunming South Station after the opening of cross-border passenger transport of China Laos Railway) In order to further improve service quality and efficiency, China Laos Railway made new operation adjustments in July.

The running time of passenger trains between Kunming and Vientiane has been reduced from the original 10 hours and 30 minutes to 9 hours and 26 minutes. This adjustment not only makes travel more convenient, but also reflects the spirit of China Laos Railway's constant pursuit of excellence. From scratch, from slow to fast, it can be imagined that China Laos Railway will usher in more busy passenger and freight operations in the future. (China Laos Railway Operation Diagram) The successful development of China Laos Railway is inseparable from Laos' efforts and comprehensive economic development. Laos has made a remarkable leap from having no railways to now having cross-border international railways. During the railway construction period, China actively helped Laos build its first railway vocational and technical college. As of the end of July this year, 40 railway education teachers have completed professional knowledge learning in Kunming. These 40 people are like seeds, they will take root, sprout, and spread their branches and leaves in Laos' railway education. In addition, China is also helping Laos cultivate various professional railway technical talents. So far, more than 500 Laotian railway employees have been successfully employed, distributed in various aspects of the railway system, serving as drivers and passengers, line operation and maintenance personnel, and other positions.

For example, Yang Ye is an operation and maintenance personnel in the bridge and tunnel class. Initially, he had no knowledge of professional tools, but through the teaching and guidance of Chinese teachers, he mastered the skills and overcame various learning difficulties, persistently improving himself. He believes that he will achieve better results in the future. The construction of the China Laos Railway has not only promoted the development of regional economy and trade, but also achieved full skill learning and mastery in the field of railway operation. Lao children along the railway line are filled with infinite imagination when they see a series of fast trains passing by. The opening and operation of the China Laos Railway has brought about all-round changes. As Daha said, with the laying of this railway, future generations have a path to more knowledge and can go even further. (Vientiane Station of the China Laos Railway) Therefore, the greater development of the China Laos Railway will be realized in the future, and will be shown in the process of continuous shuttle trains. This is a remarkable project that not only brings tangible benefits to both countries, but also brings broader development opportunities to the people of both countries. The successful experience of China Laos Railway also provides valuable reference and enlightenment for other countries. (Prospects for China Laos Railway) As an We Media article editor in China, I am honored to share the story of China Laos Railway.

This railway closely connects China and Laos, and will also bring new opportunities and challenges to the development of the Indochina Peninsula. The construction of the China Laos Railway can be traced back to 2017, when Xinhua News Agency reported an article entitled "All the way south, building a railway dream in the Indo China Peninsula". The article points out that the China Laos railway will be an important channel between China and Southeast Asia, which is of great significance in promoting regional connectivity and economic development. This is also an important part of China's "the Belt and Road" initiative and an important measure to promote regional cooperation and integrated development. In 2019, Xinhua released a report titled "The Dream of Lao Villagers Extends on the China Laos Railway". The report introduced the impact of the China Laos Railway on rural areas in Laos. This railway will directly pass through Bojo Province in northern Laos and provide more employment and business opportunities for local villagers. At the same time, this railway will also bring new opportunities to Laos' tourism industry, which is of great significance in strengthening exchanges and interactions between the people of China and Laos. In 2021, China News Service released a report entitled "Why does the China Laos Railway carry the great trust and hope of China and Laos?".

The report pointed out that the construction of the China Laos railway is not only a cooperation between China and Laos, but also an important measure for regional cooperation and economic development. The construction of the China Laos Railway will bring new opportunities and challenges to the development of the Indochina Peninsula, and is of great significance in promoting regional connectivity and economic prosperity. Recently, China Daily published a report entitled "China Laos Railway Opens New Opportunities for Laos". The report emphasized the importance of the China Laos railway to Laos' economic development. This railway will bring new business and employment opportunities to Laos, as well as new opportunities for Laos' tourism industry. At the same time, the China Laos Railway will also promote the economic development and regional cooperation of the Indochina Peninsula and become an important measure to promote common prosperity. In general, the China Laos railway will bring new opportunities and challenges to the cooperation and development between China and Southeast Asia. It will also bring new opportunities and challenges to Laos' economic development and regional cooperation. We believe that the construction of the China Laos railway will make great contributions to the development of the Indochina Peninsula, and will also bring new opportunities and challenges to the exchanges and interactions between the people of China and Laos.
