has not only continuously transported fruits and vegetables produced in Baise

to more than 100 large and medium-sized cities, 23 provinces and autonomous

regions such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but also solved the sales

problems of many fruits and vegetables with low unsalable prices in Baise,

increasing farmers' income. Moreover, it has brought revolutionary changes in

the transportation of agricultural products, and made great contributions to

the  poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.

Meanwhile, with the unique geographical advantages of "Baise Yihao", a

multimodal transport system for cross-border transportation of Baise Yihao sea

rail and public rail has been established through ports including Longbang,

Pingxiang and Fangchenggang, making Baise Yihao fruit and vegetable special

domestic train and Baise Yihao Sino-Vietnamese cross-border direct transport

train organically connect with the node cities of China-Europe Railway Express

such as Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Beijing, as well as the node

cities of southbound passages in Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi, expanding the

influence of "Baise Yihao" to the whole country and even the world. "Baise

Yihao" project has been listed by the Ministry of Transport as the first

national demonstration project of cold chain logistics channel construction

across Eurasia. In addition, Baise Yihao cold chain logistics system has been

successfully integrated into the Belt and Road Initiative.

Shenzhen, Beijing, Langfang, Tianjin, Shenyang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing,

Chengdu, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Bangkok, etc. Relying on its vast

network, Baise Yihao has basically achieved the goal of starting from Baise,
