They were then transported via the Kunming-Bangkok Road to the Boten dry port in Laos before being shipped to major Lao cities via the China-Laos railway. The parcels reached recipients in Vientiane, Laos within 48 hours.

As the only cross-border international express delivery supervision site at a land port in China, the Mohan center has emerged as a logistics hub connecting China with South and Southeast Asian countries.
