(230429) -- KHUNJERAB, April 29, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Soldiers patrol in Khunjerab, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 13, 2023. Gao Guanghui, a recruit who had just joined the army for 7 months, was shocked when he walked into the honor room of the border defense regiment in Khunjerab, 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.
