Four-Route Silk Road
Building an inland highland of opening up is Henan's vision for high-quality development. Leveraging its geographical location in the Central Plains, Henan has devoted due efforts to building the Silk Road on the land, the internet, and the sea while making progress with the Silk Road in the air. With close coordination among these four routes, which feature high-level connectivity and high- quality multi-modal transportation, it strives to achieve a historic transformation from a hinterland to a highland of opening up.
In its 14th Five-year Plan for Economic and Social Development and Long-range Objectives Through the Year 2035, issued in April 2021, Henan set the goal of substantially facilitating the coordination through strategic actions to promote mutually-reinforcing, integrated advances in the four routes.
With the Air Silk Road taking the lead, a pioneering zone of the hub economy with international influence is envisioned: (1) The Zhengzhou-Luxembourg Air Silk Road will be further enhanced to forge a global network of partner hubs. (2) Based on the New Eurasian Land Bridge Economic Corridor, the Land Silk Road will be built with equal emphasis on transportation and trade and with a larger capacity and a higher quality, in order to make it a cross-Eurasian economic corridor with both trunk and branch lines and serve as a hub for collection and distribution. (3) Henan will support innovations and breakthroughs to build the Online Silk Road into an international center of cross-border e-commerce and diversified trade. (4) The province will step up the construction of inland port facilities and expand the rail routes for rail-sea intermodal transportation in order to better align itself with the Maritime Silk Road. To better serve these purposes, relevant mechanisms will be improved to facilitate planning coordination, policy communication, infrastructure connectivity, information sharing, and service linkage.
The Air Silk Road: Commencing operation in June 2014, the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg Air Silk Road sees booming cooperation between Zhengzhou and Luxembourg as two key cargo hubs. It now connects Asia, Europe, and America and boasts a world-leading transportation capacity with cargo routes covering all major economies. By August 2023, the Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport had opened 258 passenger and cargo routes to more than 200 cities in 26 countries and regions on the three continents and operated more than 10,000 inbound and outbound cargo flights.
The Land Silk Road: By the end of June 2023, the China Railway Express freight trains had made over 8,300 trips between Henan and Europe, building an international logistics network with eight entry and exit ports and 21 direct routes and a system of domestic and overseas logistics hubs. The overseas business network links more than 140 cities in over 40 countries and more than 6,000 partners at home and abroad. These trains form the "caravans on the rail" that contribute to the Belt and Road cooperation and connect domestic and international markets and the eastern, central and western regions of China.
The Online Silk Road: The Global Cross-border E-commerce Conference, which is permanently based in Zhengzhou, has been held for seven sessions since its inception in 2017. The China (Henan) International Trade Single Window leads the country with a daily handling capacity of more than 30 million deals. In 2022, Henan's import and export volume through cross-border e-commerce exceeded 220 billion yuan for the first time, involving 196 countries and regions and achieving the goal of doing business worldwide.
The Maritime Silk Road: The trains running on the seven rail-sea intermodal routes connecting Zhengzhou with Tianjin, Lianyungang, Qingdao, Ningbo, and other ports have operated 600 shifts, and Zhoukou has opened six domestic container routes to Shanghai and other ports as well as five international routes to ports including the Long Beach in Los Angeles, the US.
