Logistics thrive even without a seaport

In 120,000 square meters of warehouse space in Fengtai district, a daily average of 56 million tons of goods awaits shipment by Sinotrans Beijing Overland Transportation Corp.

The cargo is ready for shipment directly over international railways to international ports including Manzhouli in northeastern Heilongjiang province and Shenzhen in southern Guangdong province, then on to Central Asia, Russia and Europe, as well as Hong Kong and Macao.

The buzzing warehouse is a snapshot of Beijing's booming transport trade.
