Hey there! Did you know that from January to April, China’s railways have been super busy? They transported about 1.3 billion tonnes of goods! That’s like moving 1.3 billion elephants! 🐘🐘🐘
This huge amount is a 3.6% increase compared to the same time last year. Imagine all the toys, phones, and clothes being sent around! 📦🧸📱👕
Every day, an average of 180,000 train carriages were loaded up. If you lined up all those carriages, they’d stretch for miles and miles! 🚃🚃🚃
The trains carried all sorts of important stuff:
- 672 million tonnes of coal to keep homes warm and lights on. 🌟🔥
- Lots of building materials for making houses and schools. 🏫🏠
- Metals for constructing cars, bikes, and more! 🚗🚲
What’s really cool is that trains help to move things faster and can be better for the environment than trucks or planes. Plus, China is working with other countries to send goods across borders:
- The China-Europe Railway Express is running smoothly, sending items between China and Europe. 🌍🤝🌏
- Trains to Central Asia made 4,725 trips, which is 21% more than before! 🚂🛤️
- The China-Laos Railway moved nearly 2 million tonnes of goods, a 7.6% increase! 🇨🇳🇱🇦
All this means that people around the world are getting what they need, and businesses are growing. Isn’t it amazing how trains keep us all connected? 🌐❤️
