      Horgos: the Silk Road Economic Belt's youngest city

      The Silk Road Economic Belt has witnessed the birth of a new city, Horgos in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

      The State Council has approved the role of Horgos, the largest land port on the border with Kazakhstan, said Yang Jun, deputy director of the Horgos economic development zone.

      Horgos is administrated by the Kazak Autonomous Prefecture of Ili. It covers an area of about 1,900 square kilometers, with a population of about 85,000.

      At the westernmost end of the Silk Road in China, the open port of Horgos features integrated railway and highway hubs near the densely populated market centers of Central Asia.

      In ancient times, merchants from Central Asia, the Middle East and Western Europe braved the Gobi Desert and nomadic bandits to arrive at Chang'an, the historical name of Xi'an, then the world's largest metropolis. Getting cargo across the border today is much easier.

      The border at Horgos for passengers and freight reopened in November 1983. In Sept. 2004, China and Kazakhstan signed an agreement to create the Horgos International Border Cooperation Center, a free port.

      At the port of Horgos, customs procedures have been streamlined. The integrated trade center covers 3.43 square km on the Chinese side and 1.85 square km on the Kazakh side. Visiting traders can stay for 30 days visa-free in the center

      "The center enjoys unique policies to boost the free mobility of the personnel, goods and capital," said Yang.

      With city status, the port will enter into a new development period, said Yang, and create a sound environment for regional economic cooperation.
