A China-Europe freight train departed from Guangzhou in south China's Guangdong Province on Wednesday, marking that the number of international freight trains operated by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area this year has exceeded 20,000.

The train loaded with electronics, home appliances and some other goods left Guangzhou's Zengcheng West Station for Europe via the Horgos Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Currently, international freight train routes from the Greater Bay Area span Europe, Central Asia, ASEAN and beyond.

The variety of cargo has grown from traditional mechanical and electrical products to high-value-added items, including new energy vehicles and photovoltaic modules.
