Since the unsolved political issues between the South and North Koreas, the Sino Koreas trade goods are mainly transported by vessels. This leads to a simplex mode and the multi-mode cannot jointly work to serve the trade transport between China and Koreas. Thus, it is necessary to consider the potential of the improvement of the relationship in Korea peninsular proactively and study the land transport issues between China and Koreas. This paper firstly analyzes the Sino-Koreas bilateral trade and studies the corresponding supply and demand of the shipping lines. Secondly, questionnaire surveys are done on the companies that involve in the bilateral trade or trade transport between China and Koreas, and the surveyed data are used to analyze the mode choice behaviors of the shippers to establish a modal-split model. At last, the necessity of opening the land transport corridor is discussed and the modal splits of all modes are estimated.
