On its basis, targeted and practical suggestions on the future development of border cities and port trade are provided combining the policy background. The study shows that the growth of border cities and the trade of ports have mutual promotion effect, so the development route of "mutual promotion of city and trade" should be adhered to, and some border cities should be further integrated into "the Belt and Road" Initiative.
