Entry and exit traffic at the land port has been increasing since the beginning of the year, rising from an average of 3,000 people per day to a maximum of 8,000 people.

Since the China-Laos Railway launched its cross-border passenger services on April 13, such passenger flows at the Mohan railway port have also shown a steady growth trend, with the daily average number of inbound and outbound passengers surpassing 500.

Mohan Port is the largest land port between China and Laos. It has evolved into a crucial hub for the Belt and Road Initiative and a significant gateway to countries in the Indochina Peninsula.
