1. Port Overview
Chongqing Port is a hub on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. To the west, it connects via the New Western Land-Sea Corridor to Qinzhou Port for sea access; to the east, it follows the Yangtze River to Shanghai Port for sea access [according to Chongqing Port Logistics Group]. Bofeng Logistics provides international shipping services with Chongqing Port as the departure port.
Chongqing Port is located in the city of Chongqing, at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. It is the largest port on the upper Yangtze and a key logistics hub in Southwest China [according to Chongqing Port Logistics Group]. Chongqing Port is one of the starting points of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor—goods can be shipped by rail to Guangxi's Beibu Gulf Port for sea access, or via the Yangtze River to Shanghai Port. Major port areas include Guoyuan Port Area and Cuntan Port Area. Guoyuan Port is the largest modern inland river port area on the upper Yangtze.

3. Bofeng Logistics Experience Sharing
Bofeng Logistics Experience Sharing: The advantage of Chongqing Port is its dual-channel sea access—eastward via the Yangtze River to Shanghai Port (7-10 days) and southward by rail to Qinzhou Port (New Western Land-Sea Corridor). Chongqing is a major automobile and electronics manufacturing base in China, with high sensitivity to logistics transit times and costs. Water transport from Chongqing to Shanghai via the Yangtze has the lowest cost but longer time; the rail-sea intermodal from Chongqing to Qinzhou is about 5 days faster than the Yangtze route, with costs between water and road transport. Bofeng Logistics can provide customers in the Chongqing area with a comparative optimization of the two sea access options.
4. Shipping Recommendations
Chongqing Port is affected by navigation conditions at the Three Gorges Dam, with differences in channel conditions during dry and flood seasons. Waiting times at the Three Gorges ship locks may be longer during peak seasons.
