The China-Laos Railway started cross-border passenger services on April 13, ahead of the Lao New Year holiday.

The first international passenger train D887 departed from Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan province, at 8:08 a.m. (Beijing Time) for the Lao capital Vientiane, allowing passengers to reach their destination in ten and a half hours.

The 1,035-kilometer-long (643 miles) railway began operation in Dec. 2021, offering passenger services within China, while freight trains regularly carried cargo across the Laos-China border.

The China State Railway Group Company said the opening of the border to passengers comes as COVID-19 controls enter a new stage and demand for cross-border travel surges.

Lao tourism authorities anticipate 368,000 Chinese travelers will visit Laos in 2023, up 21 percent compared to 2022.
