The transformation of Mohan town

Updated: January 8, 2024

Mohan town, once a far-flung town in Southwest China’s Yunnan province bordering Laos, is taking on a new profile as a booming international land port.

Since the China-Laos Railway was put into operation in December 2021, it has seen rapid development buoyed by increasingly smooth logistics.

The 1,035-kilometer line that runs between Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, and Vientiane, the capital of Laos, leaves China via Mohan port.

Located at the two ends of the China-Laos Railway in China, Mohan and Kunming are closely connected by the international railway.
