"G60" refers to the G60 S&T Innovation Valley of China's Yangtze River Delta, which covers the nine cities and districts including Songjiang District of Shanghai, Suzhou City of Jiangsu Province, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Jinhua of Zhejiang Province, and Hefei, Wuhu and Xuancheng of Anhui Province, with a total area of 76,200 square kilometers.

The train is the first international freight train departing from Songjiang, the international multi-modal logistics hub. Songjiang not only serves as a logistics hub among the nine cities and districts of the G60 S&T Innovation Valley, but also links with other cities in the Yangtze River Delta.

With its location advantage, Songjiang now can facilitate the free flow of sci-tech elements and allocate the innovation elements, industrial and supply chain as well as young talents in a convenient and proper way in the G60 S&T Innovation Valley.

According to Shanghai's local plan, the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou high-speed railway will enter operation in 2024. Then the newly built Songjiangnan Railway Station will serve as the initial station with an expected annual passenger flow of over 20 million people in the future.
