In south-eastern China, the city of Yiwu is a new hotspot. Bustling with energy, Yiwu is the starting point of the longest train connection in the world - a new Silk Road, running across Eurasia and all the way to Madrid.

A center of trade, the vibrant city is modern China‘s gateway to the world. But this global hub was once an agrarian community. We accompany train drivers and staff at the freight station, visit international companies that have chosen the city as their base, and dive into the world of international import and export. We talk to everyone, from small entrepreneurs who sell their locally produced products to the rest of the world, to train drivers and conductors profiting from the city's economic growth.
