The railway line known as the "Second Asia-Europe Bridge" is
The Second Eurasian Continental Bridge: It starts from Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China, on the coast of the Yellow Sea, and passes through more than ten provinces and regions to the west. It leaves the country from Alashankou, the northwest border of Xinjiang, passes through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany, and reaches the port of Rotterdam in the North Sea of the Netherlands, with a total length of 10900 km. It is an international land-sea combined transport channel across Asia and Europe, connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Goods transported from Europe and Middle Eastern countries to the Asia-Pacific region will be transported to Lianyungang, China, and then to Japan, South Korea and other countries and Hong Kong, Taiwan Province and other regions through this bridge. The whole transportation distance of this railway line is shorter by1.65,438+0.000 and1.5000 km than that of the maritime transportation route passing through Panama Canal or bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, respectively. Compared with the first Eurasian continental bridge across Siberia, the distance is shortened by more than 2000 kilometers, and the natural and economic conditions along the route are better. The opening of the Second Eurasian Continental Bridge not only greatly shortens the transportation time between Asia and Europe and saves a lot of freight, but also plays an important role in the development of the vast northwest of China and improving the strategic position of Lianyungang, the oriental bridgehead, in international land, sea and air combined transport.
