Manzhouli, the largest land port on the China-Russia border, recorded 1,523 trips of inbound and outbound China-Europe freight trains in the first half of this year, according to a report by China Railway Harbin Group Co Ltd on Tuesday.

The import volume of iron concentrates surged 79.8 percent year-on-year to 1.29 million tons, as China accelerates economic recovery after resuming work and production.
