CHINA-XINJIANG-HORGOS-BUSY PASSAGE (CN)
(231114) -- HORGOS, Nov. 14, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Nov. 8, 2023 shows a view of the Horgos International Border Cooperation Center on the China-Kazakhstan border in Horgos, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Horgos, meaning "a place where camels pass" in Mongolian, was once a busy passage used by traders traveling along the ancient Silk Road. As a border pass, it dates back more than 140 years.
Nowadays, trains in Horgos are hailed as "iron camels." In the first 10 months of this year, over 6,400 China-Europe freight trains passed through Horgos, up 9.8 percent year on year.
