[Music]

good morning everybody my name is alex
and welcome back to the channel have i
got a treat for you guys today right now
i'm at the sino-european cross-border
commodities trans shipment and
distribution center
you name it we're at a packing center
and i'm going to tell you the importance
of this place the chung ching team is
along here i'm going to be doing lots of
crazy stuff so guys i'm probably on one
of the coolest scales here okay what's
that for well
that's for all these containers and all
these trucks to get weighed when they
leave here this is a special location
we're going to be walking in to a
packing center now this is a logistical
hub we'll call it a logistical habit why
is it so important well that's what this
video
is all about now i'm gonna climb up the
stairs i've got my high res jacket on
guys safety first get ready for what i'm
about to show you guys here you see
these items here okay
it's a bunch of packaged items they're
going to some location as you know brand
made in china for sure now let me take
you through into this warehouse
this is a packing warehouse what's going
on here well we have got a pile of tires
if you need a few thousand tires well
there it is this is a getty brand all
right cool and just see goods and goods
and goods it's really exciting to
actually be in a place like this it
looks like we got a ton of computers uh
laptops yeah this one's called
republican games anyway this stuff is
worth a lot of money look at this guys
headed to lithuania so john if you're
watching not to worry your goods are
well on its way but these are most
doubtedly laptops or computers i don't
even want to put a dollar amount on
what's just sitting here temporarily to
get put on the trains thousand dollars
in computers john from ukraine john
computers are coming to you again
lithuania all right
latvia we got ukraine we've got all
these eastern bloc countries that's
where this train's going through guys
[Music]
well why is chongqing important it is
okay and there's a reason for it
this city or these districts they
produce a lot of laptops for a lot of
big names these laptops have to get to
the market now how do you get computers
that have lithium batteries in them in
an age of battery technology it's not
necessarily safe to be piling a bunch of
these on aircraft is it well
here's the beauty about it chongqing and
this location is very very close to a
very special railway line that i'm going
to show you guys in this video now
here's how it works all these districts
they bring it to one major hub it then
goes through this front door here and
there's a truck waiting now we'll call
it a short haul you're going to be
taking those 20 or 40 foot containers
down to a railway line and this is what
you guys got to pay attention to this is
collectively i would say the start of
the bri you've heard this the belt road
initiative if you want laptops to arrive
in your country or if you want tires
well chongqing is a major manufacturer
of this type of product they go out of
this warehouse onto a very special
railway line but let's just call it zero
kilometer basically the starting point
of getting these goods into europe they
go all the way across europe and they
are into the basically consumer line at
that point and that's what this video
this weekend is all about this is going
to be mind-blowing we're going to go
down to the other rail yard and of
course as always i'm going to take you
guys up we're going to fly a little bit
of drone action to get a really good
idea what's going on here
[Music]
so guys i brought you out here to zero
km what does zero kilometer really mean
it's basically the start of something
big here the starting point from
chongqing to the rest of the world and
you guys are going to see it in the
video there's so many logistical lines
here it's jammed with goods chongqing
has two rivers the yangtze scene the
giling river connecting it the gateway
to shipping goods it goes through the
three gorge dam that big corridor there
is massive now every third or fourth
vehicle driving down this road is an
18-wheeler and it does show all the
railway lines it's a major railway line
it passes through kazakhstan it goes
through russia it goes through belarus
it goes through poland and it ends up in
germany at a staggering distance of 11
000 kilometers that's right
and it goes to the east and it goes to
the south and it goes to the north all
these major corridors are extremely
important for chongqing and the rest of
the world
but sit back and relax because you are
going to watch a video called
chongqing's mega transportation
how does an unknown mega city in
southwest china play a pivotal role in
the world's logistics with a population
of over 30 million chongqing is china's
largest municipality a new international
comprehensive transportation hub is
unfolding
in today's video we will give you an
overview of how this mega transportation
operates
[Music]
we go back one thousand three hundred
years when a famous ancient chinese poet
lee bai described the rough terrains in
southwest china with the following quote
dangerous was the road to shu's kingdom
which surmounted climbing to the blue
sky
in other words some of the most
challenging roads
on the planet
fast forward one thousand three hundred
years later in the same area the chengdu
chongqing economic circle has become one
of the four cores of china's
transportation
the large mountains that stood in levi's
way are no longer the barrier isolating
this region
at current rate the connectivity of
chongqing's districts and counties are
railways
highways
waterways
four airports covering 95 of the
population within a strategic diameter
of 100 kilometers
and the accessibility of all rural roads
reaching every village
as chongqing branches out
internationally the following four
strategic transportation and logistic
corridors have also been unveiled
starting northward the chongqing monjoli
russian line connects the economic
corridor of china mongolia and russia
with a rail line grid length of
approximately ten thousand five hundred
kilometers
looking to the southward the new land
sea corridor connects queso and guangxi
which will reach all the way to the
singapore and asian countries
by the means of railways roads waterways
and
airways as we move eastward we are
giving two selected transportation and
logistical routes one by water and the
other by rail
the yangtze river water transportation
goes through the three gorges and the
rail grid consists of 2
200 kilometers joining it all the way to
the east coast of china which connects
it to the world's shipping network as we
conclude to the westward corridor the
china railway express passes through
kazakhstan russia belarus and poland to
duesburg germany with a staggering
length of 11 000 kilometers connecting
central asia to the european partners
and countries
in a manga city like chongqing the
statistics for infrastructure are huge
beyond these figures chongqing is
showing its commitment to a smarter and
greener future
here are the following pioneer projects
the chapinbot tod hub is a
transportation oriented development
complex which integrates high-speed
trains subways buses taxis and cars all
together
the uli eco city traffic plan adopts the
form of small blocks interconnecting the
roads networks which will benefit the
nearby residents the
most chongqing's continued investment in
the dual carriage bridges consists of
the chaiwinba bridge the jiangshuman
bridge and the chianzamin bridge and so
on alleviates the transportation
congestion by using this multi-layered
bridge strategy
in addition the communication between
the urban districts and metro regions
have become easier in chongqing this has
resulted in an uptick of tourism making
it more easily accessible for its
growing population
in chongqing's transportation plan
commencing from 2021 to 2035 a
mind-blowing comprehensive and
multi-dimensional transport network has
been blueprinted
this consists of 8 900 kilometers of
rail transit 225 000 kilometers of roads
4 500 kilometers of waterways more
feeder airports as well as a massive
postal express network the plan aims to
lower commute times plus set up a
streamlined transport system the
following objectives are a one-hour
intercity commute for example from home
to work the core cities of chengdu and
chongqing can also be reached in just an
hour
through the north middle and south
access routes the major domestic cities
can be reached in just three hours the
speed of delivery can also be increased
to one day within china two days to
surrounding countries and three days to
major international global cities
this achievement represents strong
support of a great ambition a well-off
society in all respects
china is not only connecting countries
it's connecting people
the transportation infrastructure is
paving a way to the future literally and
practically
chongqing is a gateway connecting to the
world
making you
and me
close neighbors
