The durian cold chain train arrived on time in Kunming, China, while the cross-border train slowly passed through Boten, Laos. By the first quarter of this year, the China-Laos Railway had transported over 50 million passengers and more than 56.4 million tons of cargo, both exceeding 50 million.

Would there be cargo to transport?
