HONG KONG (Reuters) -- China's Guangzhou Port, the largest shipping hub in the country's south, opened a direct route to Chancay port in Peru on Tuesday, state broadcaster CCTV reported, a move it said would reduce logistics costs and bolster trade with Latin America.

Located north of Lima, Chancay recently began operations with nonstop voyages to and from Asia, accommodating the largest vessels on South America's Pacific coast.
