The route is expected to become the lifeblood of international trade for China and Myanmar, while providing a source of income for Myanmar’s military regime. The route will go through Mandalay, Lashio and Hsenwi on the Myanmar side. And it will significantly reduce the time needed to import cargo to landlocked Yunnan Province. The route is the first to link western China with the Indian Ocean. It will take three days to get from Lincang to Chengdu by rail, according to the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar. From there it will be transported to Chin Shwe Haw in the Kokang Self-Administered Zone by road, and then by rail from Lincang to Chengdu. Cargo will be shipped from Singapore Port to Yangon Port.
The rail line will enable China to trans-ship cargo from Singapore Port via Myanmar. The rail line stretches from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, to Lincang, a prefecture-level city in China’s Yunnan Province opposite Chin Shwe Haw, a border trade town in Myanmar’s northeastern Shan State. A new rail line providing China with access to the Indian Ocean via Myanmar was opened on Aug.
