The first "Jinbo" China-Europe freight train carrying exhibits for the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) arrived at the Minhang Station in Shanghai on Sunday, marking the fourth consecutive year that CIIE exhibition products have been transported to Shanghai via the China-Europe freight train service.

"Jinbo" is short for CIIE in Chinese. The train, which traveled more than 11,000 km over 21 days, is loaded with 76 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers of goods valued at about 100 million yuan (about 14.08 million U.S. dollars), including cosmetics and mechanical equipment.
