Central media outlets are focusing on Henan province, which is leveraging its unique geographical advantages to drive development with smart logistics as its core engine. The province is working to integrate its three major logistics networks—air, inland waterway, and land ports—to facilitate the efficient flow of people, goods, and capital. This initiative is strengthening the foundation for a unified national market and positioning Henan as a pivotal hub for both domestic and international economic circulation.
As a critical node on the "Air Silk Road," the Zhengzhou airport hub is consistently enhancing its operational capacity and scale. It is projected that by 2025, its cargo and mail throughput will surpass 1 million tons, elevating it into the ranks of global million-ton-level freight hubs. This aerial corridor connects the province to the world, while its waterways provide access to rivers and seas. The Zhoukou Port, situated on the Sha Ying River, the largest tributary of the Huai River, is undergoing a revival through digital and intelligent transformation, modernizing the traditional port facility.
At the construction site of the China-Europe Railway Express (Zhengzhou) multimodal smart distribution and dispatch center in the Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, a scene of bustling activity unfolds. From the Air Silk Road to the inland river golden waterway and the land port联运枢纽, Henan is empowering logistics upgrades with intelligence, crafting its response within the dual-circulation development pattern that links domestic and international markets.
