Kathmandu— Horgos, located in the northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has become a growing center for cross-border e-commerce by attracting foreign live streamers. The city’s advantageous geographic position, coupled with the benefits of the Horgos Area of China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone and the China-Kazakhstan Horgos International Border Cooperation Center, have fostered this new business model in recent years.

Strategic Location Fuels Growth

Horgos’s position as a gateway to Central Asia is central to its burgeoning e-commerce sector. The city effectively utilizes both the Horgos Area of China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone and the China-Kazakhstan Horgos International Border Cooperation Center, creating logistical and commercial advantages for businesses operating within the region.
