the length of the route exceeds 12 thousand km and the duration is almost 18 days. The path train goes through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France.

 

the operator of the route was the company Timex Yiwu Industrial Investment Co that a year provides direct delivery of goods by rail from China to Spain.

 

the First train loaded with goods: clothes, accessories, etc already went on the road.
