China Built the World's Largest Port That Never Sleeps

How does China move millions of containers through one enormous port? Shanghai Port has become a massive logistics machine connecting global shipping with China's factories, warehouses, highways, railways and inland waterways. The port handles enormous container ships, automated terminals, cranes, trucks, trains and a vast network that keeps cargo moving almost continuously. A major part of this system is Yangshan Port, a deep-water port complex built offshore and connected to mainland Shanghai by the more than 32-kilometer Donghai Bridge. From automated container terminals to the Yangtze River transportation network, discover how China built one of the world's largest and most complex port systems—and how it keeps global cargo moving day and night. According to the script, Shanghai Port handled more than 55 million TEUs in 2025, maintaining its position as the world's busiest container port.
