China recently opened a 10,000-metric-tonne port in Chongqing municipality of Zhongxian county. A first of its kind in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River—China's longest waterway—the port has 14 berths with an annual throughput of 25 million tonnes. A logistics park near the port is under construction that will host warehousing and cold chain logistics.

The upper reaches of the Yangtze River cover Chongqing and the provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. It is an important area along the Belt and Road, as well as the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

"As the first 10,000-metric-ton port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it will provide a more convenient channel for goods from eastern Sichuan, southern Gansu and Shaanxi, and parts of Chongqing to reach the waterway and the sea," Wang Botao, director of the municipal port and maritime affairs centre, was quoted as saying by a Chinese official media outlet.
