Chongqing–Xinjiang–Europe railway

The Chongqing–Xinjiang–Europe railway, abbreviated as Yu–Xin–Ou railway (Chinese: 渝新欧铁路; pinyin: Yú–Xīn–Ōu tiělù), is a freight rail route linking Chongqing in Southwestern China, with Duisburg, Germany. The abbreviation consists of Yu (渝) for Chongqing, Xin (新) for Xinjiang, and Ou (欧) for Europe.

It passes through the Dzungarian Gate into Kazakhstan, and moves through Russia, Belarus and Poland before arriving in Duisburg. The railway is part of a growing rail network connecting China and Europe along the New Silk Road.
