Zhangmu Port is a crucial hub for political, economic, and cultural exchange between China and Nepal. Following the earthquake in 2015, the port was temporarily closed. However, thanks to the collective efforts of various parties, Zhangmu Port reopened as a cargo channel on May 29, 2019. Furthermore, on May 1, 2023, it successfully resumed two-way cargo transportation.

Recently, Zhangmu Port has made continuous improvements to enhance its customs clearance capabilities. This includes upgrading facilities, managing risks, and optimizing the customs clearance process. Additionally, efforts have been made to support companies and infrastructure in travel inspection and create a business market to facilitate passenger travel. These efforts have laid a solid foundation, effective from September 1.

Enhancing regional trade and tourism

To strengthen friendly relations between China and Nepal, Zhangmu Port is leveraging opportunities and actively participating in the high-level joint venture “One Belt, One Road“. It is also making systematic preparations for the restoration of transportation services. This restoration of transportation services at Zhangmu Port serves as an important starting point for increasing economic and trade relations with Nepal, promoting the Belt and Road project, and supporting economic and human development in border areas.

With its popularity and influence, it contributes to the high development of the Tibetan economy and the perfect spatial character.
