With the improvement in smart services and other facilitation measures for customs clearance, the Mohan port near the China-Laos border has grown to be the largest railway port connecting China with ASEAN.

Now a growing amount of ASEAN goods is exported to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong via special Lancang-Mekong freight trains, and more Chinese tourists from Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and others are traveling to ASEAN countries via Mohan port.
