Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, served as a major commercial hub thousands of years ago because of its silk, tea and lacquer. Today, it is embracing a greater opportunity offered by the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative to connect to a wider world. To gain more from the initiative, Chengdu has improved its transportation network by building international air routes and inter-continental railways to transform itself from a hinterland, about 1,700 kilometers away from the nearest port, to a frontier of the nation’s opening-up policy. Over the past five years, Chengdu has provided the highest frequency of train service to Europe and sent the most China-EU freight trains, including 1,591 trains in 2018. The express railway now looks at all four points on the compass for expansion, and forms an “across-the-board” opening-up strategy.
