The China-Europe Express, also known as the China Railway Express or Eurasian Land Bridge, is a network of freight trains that connect various cities in China with cities in Europe. This rail service provides an alternative transportation route for goods between Asia and Europe, complementing the traditional maritime routes. The success of the China-Europe Express has led to increased investments in rail infrastructure and improvements in customs and logistics procedures along the route, further enhancing its efficiency and attractiveness to businesses. As of my last update in September 2021, the China-Europe Express continues to grow and evolve, contributing to the global trade landscape by offering a reliable and expedited transportation option between China and Europe. Therefore, in order to evaluate the logistics level of the cities through which the China-Europe Express trains pass and find out the reasons for the obstacles, this paper conducts research and analysis. On the basis of comprehensive consideration of economic, social, and environmental factors, this paper evaluates and analyzes the development of the logistics industry in ten cities that are the main routes of the China-Europe Express. The study involved ten cities(Chengdu, Chongqing, Hefei, Lianyungang, Shenyang, Suzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an, Yiwu, and Zhengzhou), which collected data for 2021 and analyzed the data. The results show that there are obvious differences in the logistics level of the cities through which the China-Europe express trains pass. Based on the results of this study, targeted optimization countermeasures are put forward and evaluation indicators and research methods are suggested, which will provide the government and practitioners decision support, as well as provide theoretical and methodological support for the development of China-Europe Express.
